Blue-emitting heavy-metal free QDs simultaneously exhibiting photoluminescence quantum yield close to unity and narrow emission line widths are essential for next-generation electroluminescence displays, yet their synthesis is highly challenging. Herein, we develop the synthesis of blue-emitting QDs by growing a thin shell of ZnS on ZnSe cores with their size larger than bulk Bohr diameter. The bulk-like size of ZnSe cores enables the emission to locate in the blue region with a narrow emission width close to its intrinsic peak width. The obtained bulk-like ZnSe/ZnS core/shell QDs display high quantum yield of 95% and extremely narrow emission width of similar to 9.6 nm. Moreover, the bulk-like size of ZnSe cores reduces the energy level difference between QDs and adjacent layers in LEDs and improves charge transport. The LEDs fabricated with these high-quality QDs show bright pure blue emission with an external quantum efficiency of 12.2% and a relatively long operating lifetime.
