The high‐quality green‐emitting CdS 0 . 5 Se 0 .5 / 8Zn 1 − x Cd x S / 2ZnS QDs with “8” and “2” monolayers ( ML ) of corresponding shell were first synthesized by “thermal‐cycling coupled single precursor” ( TC‐SP ) approach. The component‐gradient Zn 1− x Cd x S interlayer played a key role in the growth of thick shell by gradually buffering the large lattice mismatch (~9%) between the CdS 0 . 5 Se 0 .5 core and ZnS shell. Moreover, the Zn 1− x Cd x S gradient interlayer as well as ZnS outshell increased the potential barrier to prevent excitons from being trapped by surface defects. The photoluminescence quantum yields of the as‐synthesized CdS 0 . 5 Se 0 .5 / 8Zn 1 − x Cd x S / 2ZnS core/shell QDs can reach to 70% in organic media and still maintain 60% after aqueous phase transfer. The green‐emitting CdS 0 . 5 Se 0 .5 / 8Zn 1 − x Cd x S / 2ZnS core/shell QDs may be good candidates for applications of biomedical and photoelectric field.
