CdSe-reduced Graphene Oxide (CdSe-rGO) nanocomposite was synthesized using a facile hot injection method with excellent control over the size and morphology. The superb distribution of the CdSe quantum dots (CdSe QPs) and the tightly anchoring to the graphene sheets enhance their optical properties. Therefore, the effect of reduced Graphene oxide (rGO) on the structure and optical properties of CdSe nanoparticles is studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-visible spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). As well as Effective mass approximation model (EMA) and Polynomial Fitting Functions (PFF) were used to calculate the sizes of nanoparticles, yielding particle sizes ranging from 4.64 to 5.46 nm and 2.74-3.72 nm, respectively. These values were comparable to those obtained by TEM and XRD. Furthermore, the data revealed that the direct energy gap of the CdSe QDs was reduced from 2.33 eV for the smallest size to 2.17 eV for the largest size. The optical parameters of CdSe-rGO nanocomposite such as the refractive index and extinction coefficient were increased with the particle size growth. As well, optical dielectric constant and optical conductivity were improved due to the increase of the particle size of CdSe Q_Ds in the CdSe-rGO nanocomposite. So, the capability of CdSe-rGO nanocomposite to tune the optical parameters makes it a suitable candidate for a wide range of applications, specifically optoelectronics.
