In this communication, we report a simplistic non-aqueous fabrication route for oleic-acid capped luminescent cadmium sulphide quantum dots at low temperature. The resulting quantum dots, obtained without using any complicated reagents, are cubic in phase, monodispersed and have excellent optical properties. The simplicity of this fabrication route is also promising to develop other oleic acid-capped metal sulphide quantum dots at relatively low temperature.
