Photobrightening and photobluing effects of photoluminescence (PL) from CdSe/ZnS/TOPO nanocrystal ensembles, i.e. ca. 1000 nanocrystals, have been investigated in several environments. The PL intensity increases more than twice with blue shift under continuous light irradiation in a wet nitrogen (H2O/N2) atmosphere, while in a pure nitrogen atmosphere and vacuum their behaviors are nothing particular. In addition, increasing rates of both the brightening and bluing effects in the H2O/N2 atmosphere depend on irradiation intensities. These results suggest that both effects should be associated with photo-adsorption of water molecules onto nanocrystal surfaces. As for the brightening effect, we propose that the photo-adsorption of water molecules provides some restoring functions to PL-quenching defects or trap-sites on or near nanocrystal surfaces. On the other hand, the origin of the bluing effect is not clear from the results of the ensemble measurements. To get further insight into the bluing effect, PL spectra from single nanocrystals are measured under continuous light irradiation in cyclic environments in which the H2O/N2 atmosphere and vacuum are alternating. As a result, blue-shifted PL induced by the light irradiation in the H2O/N2 atmosphere recovers almost to its initial one reversibly under evacuation. The mechanism of the photobluing effect will be discussed also on the bases of the photobrightening model introduced above.  相似文献

We apply a variety of characterization tools, including dynamic light scattering (DLS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution size-exclusion chromatography (HRSEC), and X-ray fluorescence (XRF), to study CdSe and CdSe/ZnS semiconductor nanocrystals of various sizes. We compare the size monodispersity, composition, and optical properties such as absorbance, photoluminescence (PL), and photoluminescence excitation of samples synthesized by high-temperature organometallic decomposition methods to CdSe clusters synthesized in our laboratory using a room-temperature metathesis from ionic precursors in coordinating solvents. DLS revealed considerable aggregation in all the conventionally synthesized samples, while TEM showed significant size and shape polydispersity in the core/shell CdSe/ZnS nanoparticles. We demonstrate how HRSEC can be used to explore size and shape polydispersity in semiconductor nanocrystals by measurement of the spectral homogeneity of the PL and PLE of spectra obtained within cluster elution peaks observed by HRSEC. Using HRSEC, we show that size fractionation by solvent/nonsolvent precipitation is only partially effective in size selection and that discrete size populations are present in each fraction. HRSEC shows that our synthesis yields a single-size, blue-emitting, homogeneous population whose absorbance and PL correspond to those of the smallest-size fraction made by conventional synthesis. This suggests that especially stable discrete sizes are favored in both synthetic methods.  相似文献

Synthetic phytochelatin-related peptides are used as an organic coat on the surface of colloidal CdSe/ZnS semiconductor nanocrystals synthesized from hydrophobic coordinating trioctyl phosphine oxide (TOPO) solvents. The peptides are designed to bind to the nanocrystals via a C-terminal adhesive domain. This adhesive domain, composed of multiple repeats of cysteines pairs flanked by hydrophobic 3-cyclohexylalanines, is followed by a flexible hydrophilic linker domain to which various bio-affinity tags can be attached. This surface coating chemistry results in small, buffer soluble, monodisperse peptide-coated nanoparticles with high colloidal stability and ensemble photophysical properties similar to those of TOPO-coated nanocrystals. Various peptide coatings are used to modulate the nanocrystal surface properties and to bioactivate the nanoparticles. CdSe/ZnS nanocrystals coated with biotinylated peptides efficiently bind to streptavidin and are specifically targeted to GPI-anchored avidin-CD14 chimeric proteins expressed on the membranes of live HeLa cells. This peptide coating surface chemistry provides a novel approach for the production of biocompatible photoluminescent nanocrystal probes.  相似文献

Small molecular reagents that can efficiently functionalize water soluble CdSe/ZnS nanocrystals (NCs) are reported. These reagents do not cause quenching or precipitation of NCs as seen with commercially available activators. The results demonstrate that controlling the electrostatic character of the materials is critical in the design of functionalization schemes.  相似文献

Based on the extra-ligand addition effect, the principles of targeted self-assembly of nanosized multiporphyrin complexes of various types with controllable geometry and composition (up to 8 tetrapyrroles) and heterogeneous composites based on trioctylphosphine oxide-stabilized CdSe/ZnS semiconductor nanocrystals and organic compounds were developed. The dynamics and mechanisms of energy and charge transfer (including electron tunneling) in such systems were studied by continuous, picosecond fluorescence (Δ1/2 ≈ 30 ps), and femtosecond transient (Δ1/2 ≈ 120 fs) spectroscopy with varying the quantitative and qualitative constitution of the composites, the temperature, and the polarity of the medium.  相似文献

We report a new green synthetic route of CdSe and core-shell CdSe/CdS nanoparticles (NPs) in aqueous solutions. This route is performed under water-bath temperature, using Se powder as a selenium source to prepare CdSe NPs, and H(2)S generated by the reaction of Na(2)SH(2)SO(4) as a sulfur source to synthesize core-shell CdSe/CdS NPs at 25-35 degrees C. The synthesis time of every step is only 20 min. After illumination with ambient natural light, photoluminescence (PL) intensities of CdSe NPs enhanced up to 100 times. The core-shell CdSe/CdS NPs have stronger photoactive luminescence with quantum yields over 20%. The obtained CdSe NPs exhibit a favorable narrow PL band (FWHM: 50-37 nm) with increasing molar ratio of Cd/Se from 4:1 to 10:1 at pH 9.1 in the crude solution, whereas PL band of corresponding CdSe/CdS NPs is slightly narrower. The emission maxima of nanocrystals can be tuned in a wider range from 492 to 592 nm in water by changing synthesis temperature of CdSe core than those reported previously. The resulting new route is of particular interest as it uses readily-available reagents and simple equipment to synthesize high-quality water-soluble CdSe and CdSe/CdS nanocrystals.  相似文献

The physicochemical properties, such as critical micelle concentration (cmc), surface tension at cmc (γ(cmc)), and surface activity parameters of the mixtures of a new amino acid-based zwitterionic surfactant, N-(n-dodecyl-2-aminoethanoyl)-glycine (C(12)Gly) and an anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) at different molar fractions, X(1) (= [C(12)Gly]/([C(12)Gly] + [SDS])) of C(12)Gly were studied. A synergistic interaction was observed between the surfactants in mixtures of different X(1). The self-organization of the mixtures at different molar fractions, concentrations, and pH was investigated. Fluorescence depolarization studies in combination with dynamic light scattering, and transmission electron microscopic and confocal fluorescence microscopic images suggested the formation of bilayer vesicles in dilute solutions of SDS rich mixtures with X(1) ≤ 0.17 in the pH range 7.0 to 9.0. However, the electronic micrographs showed structures with fingerprint-like texture in moderately dilute to concentrated C(12)Gly/SDS mixture at X(1) = 0.50. The vesicles were observed to transform into small micelles upon lowering the solution pH and upon increase of total surfactant concentration in mixtures with X(1) ≤ 0.17. However, decrease of SDS content transformed vesicles into wormlike micelles. The structural transitions were correlated with bulk viscosity of the binary mixtures.  相似文献

A technique was developed to size-selectively separate polydisperse dispersions of CdSe/ZnS nanocrystals into distinct color fractions using only the tunable solvent properties of CO2-expanded hexane. This size-selective precipitation of semiconductor nanoparticles is achieved by finely tuning the solvent strength of the CO2/hexane medium by simply adjusting the applied CO2 pressure. These subtle changes affect the balance between osmotic repulsive and van der Waals attractive forces, thereby allowing fractionation of the nanocrystals into multiple narrow size populations.  相似文献

The quenching of photoluminescence (PL) in semiconducting CdSe/ZnS and CdSe nanocrystals (NC) of various sizes during surface passivation by molecules of tetrapyridylporphyrins (P) in toluene at 295 K was investigated. It was shown that resonance transfer of energy NC → P plays a minor role in PL quenching (<10%), while photoinduced electron transfer NC → P is absent. On the basis of experimental data and quantum-mechanical calculations it was established that with identical molar ratio x = CP/CNC the probability of quenching k q decreases with increase in the size of the NC while the PL quenching process itself under conditions of quantum confinement is due to electron tunneling of the excited electron–hole pair on the surface of the NC followed by localization of the organic ligand (P) on anchor groups. The obtained results are of interest for investigating the mechanisms of the blinking of PL in single semiconductor nanocrystals.

A dendron ligand with two carboxylate anchoring groups at its focal point and eight hydroxyl groups as its terminal groups was found to efficiently convert as-synthesized CdSe/CdS core-shell nanocrystals in toluene to water-soluble dendron-ligand stabilized nanocrystals (dendron nanocrystals). The resulting dendron nanocrystals retained 60% of the photoluminescence value of the original CdSe/CdS core-shell nanocrystals in toluene and were significantly brighter than the similar dendron nanocrystals with thiolate (deprotonated thiol group) as the anchoring group which retained just 10% of the photoluminescence value of the original CdSe/CdS core-shell nanocrystals in toluene. The carboxylate-based dendron nanocrystals survived UV irradiation in air for at least 13 days, about 9 times better than the thiolate-based dendron nanocrystals (35 h) and similar to that of the thiolate-based dendron-box stabilized CdSe/CdS core-shell nanocrystals (box nanocrystals). Upon UV irradiation, the dendron nanocrystals became even 2 times brighter than the original CdSe/CdS core-shell nanocrystals in toluene, and the UV-brightened PL can retain the brightness for at least several months. These stable and bright dendron nanocrystals were soluble in various aqueous media, including all common biological buffer solutions tested, for at least 1.5 years. In addition to their superior performance, the synthetic chemistry of carboxylate dendron ligands and the corresponding dendron nanocrystals is relatively simple and with high yield.  相似文献

This paper describes a highly efficient method for size determination of water-soluble CdSe/ZnS core-shell quantum dots (QDs) by capillary electrophoresis (CE) using polymer additive as sieving medium. The influence of some factors, such as kinds and concentrations of the sieving medium, pH, concentrations of the background electrolyte (BGE) and applied voltage, on the separation of QDs was investigated. Under the optimal separation conditions, four different sized QDs were successfully separated, and the relative standard deviation (RSD) of the migration times for these QDs was below 1.013%. In addition, an equation was fit by taking into account the correlation existing between the electrophoretic mobilities and the sizes of a set of QDs. The feasibility of this equation to measure the sizes of other QDs was confirmed by comparison with the sizes obtained by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) experiment. This work offers a novel method for size determination of QDs, and provides an important reference on the study of QDs based on CE.  相似文献

Lipids and block copolymers can be individually assembled into unsupported, spherical membranes (liposomes or polymersomes), each having their own particular benefits and limitations. Here we demonstrate the preparation of microscale, hybrid "lipopolymersomes" composed of the common lipid POPC (1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine) and the commercially available copolymer PBd-b-PEO (polybutadiene-b-poly(ethylene oxide)) with the goal of incorporating the advantageous qualities of the unitary systems into mixed-membrane capsules. We investigate the lipopolymersomes using confocal fluorescence microscopy and demonstrate that these hybrid membranes are well mixed on nanoscopic length scales within the permittable compositional windows for hybrid vesicle formation. We measure the intramembrane dynamics and mechanical properties of these hybrid membranes by fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) and micropipet aspiration, respectively. For the first time, we demonstrate the demixing of lipid-rich and polymer-rich membrane domains within the same vesicle membrane. This is achieved by the biotinylation of one of the constituent species and cross linking with the protein NeutrAvidin. The resultant domain patterning is dependent upon which component carries the biotin functionality: cross linking of the copolymer species results in domains that ripen into a single, large, copolymer-rich island, and cross linking of the lipids yields many small, "spot-like", lipid-rich domains within a copolymer-rich matrix. We discuss these morphological differences in terms of the fluidity and mechanical properties of the membrane phases and the possible resultant interdomain interactions within the membrane. These heterogeneous hybrid lipopolymersomes could find applications in fields such as targeted delivery, controlled release, and environmental detection assays where these capsules possess the characteristics of biocompatible lipid membranes combined with enhanced mechanical strength and stability from the copolymer matrix.  相似文献

We report the synthesis of highly luminescent CdTe/ZnS and CdHgTe/ZnS core/shell semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs). A hybrid of two synthesis routes leads to novel nanocrystal compositions and small core/shell sizes (4-5 nm) that emit in the far-red and near-infrared regions. These particles exhibit higher resistance to oxidation and photobleaching, have high quantum yields, and could be used for biological labeling and imaging.  相似文献

High-quality ZnS, ZnS:Mn2+, and ZnS:Mn2+/ZnS (core/shell) nanocrystals (NCs) were synthesized via a high-boiling solvent process and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and photoluminescence (PL) spectra. The monodisperse ZnS NCs (size = 8 nm), which self-assembled into several micrometer-sized domains, were achieved by adopting poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) in the reaction process (without using a size-selection process). The obtained ZnS:Mn2+ and ZnS:Mn2+/ZnS core/shell NCs are highly crystalline and quasimonodisperse with an average particle size of 6.1 and 8.4 nm, respectively. All of the as-formed NCs can be well dispersed in hexane to form stable and clear colloidal solutions, which show strong visible emission (blue for ZnS and red-orange for ZnS:Mn2+ and ZnS:Mn2+/ZnS) under UV excitation. The growth of a ZnS shell on ZnS:Mn2+ NCs, that is, the formation of ZnS:Mn2+/ZnS core/shell NCs, resulted in a 30% enhancement in the PL intensity with respect to that of bare ZnS:Mn2+ NCs due to the elimination of the surface defects.  相似文献

Original organic capping TOPO/TOP groups of CdSe and CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs), from mother solution were replaced with 2_mercaptoethanol, which was chosen as model compound, in order to achieve water solubility. Obtained water dispersions of CdSe and CdSe/ZnS QDs were characterized by UV/VIS absorption and luminescence techniques. Luminescence measurements revealed that bare cores are very sensitive to surface capping, transfer into water diminished emission intensity. Core/shell, CdSe/ZnS, QDs are much more resistant to changes of the capping and solvent, and significant part of emission intensity was preserved in water. The article is published in the original.  相似文献
