The preparation of Zn Se/Cd Se core-shell structure nanocomposites by using the re-prepared Zn Se microspheres as the template under the hydrothermal condition was presented. The influence of different mole ratios of ZnS e to Cd(NO3)2 on the morphology and structure of the final product was investigated. And the performances of ZnS e/Cd Se core-shell structure nanocomposites were characterized by the means of X-ray diffraction(XRD) analyses, scanning electron microscopy(SEM), transmission electron microscopy(TEM) and photoluminescence(PL) spectroscopy. The results indicate that the core-shell structure product can be prepared, when the mole ratio of Zn Se to Cd(NO3)2 is larger than 1:1; and the product will be ball solid structure, when the mole ratio of Zn Se to Cd(NO3)2 is equal to 1:1. The photo luminescence results show that Zn Se/Cd Se core-shell structures have high photo luminescence emission properties, and the product with mole ratio of Zn Se to Cd(NO3)2 being 1:0.5 has the best luminescence properties.
