III-V semiconductor nanocrystals are of considerable interest due to their extensive applications in the optoelectronic and biomedical fields. In order to meet the practical use, the convenient and scalable production of III-V narrow-disperse nanocrystals is inspiring. We report an efficient and rapid method of preparing highly monodisperse InP nanocrystals using a wet-chemical redox synthetic approach with a noncoordinating solvent, employing organic reducing agent LiBH(CH2CH3)3 and yellow phosphor. As advantages of this approach, reaction temperature is relatively low (80~{!c~}C-120~{!c~}C) and reaction time is less than 2 hours. Our characterization shows that the photoluminescence properties of InP nanocrystals are highly dependent on the particle size.
