Quantum-confined CdTe nanoplatelets (NPL) are synthesized in colloidal solutions. The formation, growth, and transformation of 2D NPLs are monitored using UV-visible absorption PL spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The luminescence intensity of NPL dependences on the temperature and injection of precursors is shown. It is found that the luminescence spectra shift to the long-wavelength region with increasing temperature due to an increase in the thickness of the NPL. The dependence of the band gap on the thickness of the NPL is shown. The band gap is determined by the thickness and number of layers. The dependence of the concentration of precursors in the reaction mass and the kinetics of NPL growth are shown. The excitation of defect states luminescence depends on the coordinating oleic ligand. The crystal structure of the CdTe NPL was analyzed via the electron diffraction pattern (ED), which allows a comparative conclusion about the crystal structure of the obtained NPL samples.
