Oscillating fluorescence in an unstable colloidal dispersion of CdSe/ZnS core/shell quantum dots

Fluorescence oscillation is observed in an ensemble of colloidal CdSe/ZnS core/shell quantum dots (QDs) dispersed in nonpolar solvent under continuous irradiation. The QDs dispersed in toluene gradually aggregate and change their fluorescence intensity, even in the dark. During the aggregation, the QD/toluene suspension is unstable, that is, overdispersed. The fluorescence oscillation is found only in this unstable state before the system reaches steady state. In addition, the aggregation rate is promoted by irradiation and strongly correlates with the oscillation amplitude. Our experimental results indicate that the dispersion instability plays an important role in both linear and nonlinear dynamics of the fluorescence. It is inferred from the experimental results and previous studies that the complex time evolution of fluorescence in the QD/toluene dispersion is possibly due to adsorption and desorption of surface ligand molecules over the course of QD aggregation.     

pH-sensitive Photoluminescence of CdSe/ZnSe/ZnS Quantum Dots in Human Ovarian Cancer Cells

The photoluminescence of mercaptoacetic acid (MAA)-capped CdSe/ZnSe/ZnS semiconductor nanocrystal quantum dots (QDs) in SKOV-3 human ovarian cancer cells is pH-dependent, suggesting applications in which QDs serve as intracellular pH sensors. In both fixed and living cells the fluorescence intensity of intracellular MAA-capped QDs (MAA QDs) increases monotonically with increasing pH. The electrophoretic mobility of MAA QDs also increases with pH, indicating an association between surface charging and fluorescence emission. MAA dissociates from the ZnS outer shell at low pH, resulting in aggregation and loss of solubility, and this may also contribute to the MAA QD fluorescence changes observed in the intracellular environment.     

Controlled self-assembly of hydrophobic quantum dots through silanization

We demonstrate the formation of one-, two-, and three-dimensional nanocomposites through the self-assembly of silanized CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) by using a controlled sol-gel process. The self-assembly behavior of the QDs was created when partially hydrolyzed silicon alkoxide monomers replaced hydrophobic ligands on the QDs. We examined systematically self-assembly conditions such as solvent components and QD sizes in order to elucidate the formation mechanism of various QD nanocomposites. The QD nanocomposites were assembled in water phase or on the interface of water and oil phase in emulsions. The partially hydrolyzed silicon alkoxides act as intermolecules to assemble the QDs. The QD nanocomposites with well-defined solid or hollow spherical, fiber-like, sheet-like, and pearl-like morphologies were prepared by adjusting the experimental conditions. The high photoluminescence efficiency of the prepared QD nanocomposites suggests partially hydrolyzed silicon alkoxides reduced the surface deterioration of QDs during self-assembly. These techniques are applicable to other hydrophobic QDs for fabricating complex QD nanocomposites.     

Synthesis of quantum dot-tagged submicrometer polystyrene particles by miniemulsion polymerization

Submicrometer fluorescent polystyrene (PS) particles have been synthesized via miniemulsion polymerization using CdSe/ZnS core-shell quantum dots (QDs). The influence of QD concentration, QD coating (either trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO)-coated or vinyl-functionalized), and surfactant concentration on the polymerization kinetics and the photoluminescence properties of the prepared particles has been analyzed. Polymerization kinetics were not altered by the presence of QDs, whatever their surface coating. Latexes exhibited particle sizes ranging from 100 to 350 nm, depending on surfactant concentration, and a narrow particle size distribution was obtained in all cases. The fluorescence signal of the particles increased with the number of incorporated TOPO-coated QDs. The slight red shift of the emission maximum was correlated with phase separation between PS and QDs, which occurred during the polymerization, locating the QDs in the vicinity of the particle/water interface. QD-tagged particles displayed higher fluorescence intensity with TOPO-coated QDs compared to those with the vinyl moiety. The obtained fluorescent particles open up new opportunities for a variety of applications in biotechnology.     

Photoinduced fluorescence enhancement in mono- and multilayer films of CdSe/ZnS quantum dots: dependence on intensity and wavelength of excitation light

Photoinduced fluorescence enhancement (PFE) behavior in mono- and multilayer films of CdSe/ZnS core/shell quantum dots (QDs) on glass substrates was investigated using various intensities and wavelengths of excitation light. CdSe/ZnS QDs capped with tri-n-octylphosphine oxide (TOPO) were produced using colloidal chemical synthesis, and mono- and multilayer QD films were fabricated on glass substrates by spin coating. The fluorescence quantum yield (QY) of the QD monolayer was greatly enhanced by continuous irradiation in a dry nitrogen atmosphere, whereas the QD multilayer showed a small enhancement of the QY or fluorescence intensity decay. In addition, the shorter the excitation wavelength, the more pronounced the PFE. The rate of increase of the QY increased with decreasing excitation intensities at any wavelength. These dependences were observed in both mono- and multilayer films. Our results suggest that the photoejection of electrons to the substrate is the origin of PFE. Assuming the charging effect of electrons trapped in the substrate, a phenomenological model is proposed to explain all of the experimental results, that is, the dependence on the intensity and wavelength of excitation light and the qualitative difference in PFE behavior between mono- and multilayer films.     

Intermittent electron transfer activity from single CdSe/ZnS quantum dots

Electron transfer activity from excited single CdSe/ZnS core/shell quantum dots (QDs) to adsorbed Fluorescein 27 was studied by single QD fluorescence spectroscopy. In comparison with QDs, the QD-acceptor complexes showed a shorter average and broader distribution of QD emission lifetimes due to electron transfer to adsorbates. Large fluctuation of lifetimes in single QD/dye complexes was observed, indicating intermittent electron transfer activity from QDs.

Stamping transfer of a quantum dot interlayer for organic photovoltaic cells

An organophilic cadmium selenide (CdSe) quantum dot (QD) interlayer was prepared on the active layer in organic solar cells by a stamping transfer method. The mother substrate composed of a UV-cured film on a polycarbonate film with strong solvent resistance makes it possible to spin-coat QDs on it and dry transfer onto an active layer without damaging the active layer. The QD interlayers have been optimized by controlling the concentration of the QD solution. The coverage of QD particles on the active layer was verified by TEM analysis and fluorescence images. After insertion of the QD interlayer between the active layer and metal cathode, the photovoltaic performances of the organic solar cell were clearly enhanced. By ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy of CdSe QDs, it can be anticipated that the CdSe QD interlayer reduces charge recombination by blocking the holes moving to the cathode from the active layer and facilitating efficient collection of the electrons from the active layer to the cathode.     

Copolymer nanosphere encapsulated CdS quantum dots prepared by RAFT copolymerization: synthesis,characterization and mechanism of formation

Cadmium sulfide (CdS) quantum dots (QDs) encapsulated in block copolymer spheres were synthesized by an aqueous emulsion polymerization process. First, stable dispersions of CdS QDs in water were prepared using a polymer dispersant, either poly(acrylic acid) or a random copolymer having an average of ten acrylic acid and five butyl acrylate units. These polymer dispersants were prepared by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization. Then, the CdS QDs dispersed in water were encapsulated in a polystyrene shell using an emulsion polymerization process. Spectroscopic and microscopic techniques were used to characterize the resulting nanocomposites. Optical properties of QDs in polymer microspheres were investigated by UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopic studies. Particle sizes of all CdS QD samples were calculated from absorption edges using Henglein's empirical curve. Transmission electron microscopy was used to determine the size and morphology of CdS QD samples. These observations were used to elucidate the mechanism of formation of the resulting well-defined polymer-encapsulated CdS nanoparticles.
