ZnS/CdS复合窗口层对CdTe太阳能电池短波光谱响应的影响

采用磁控溅射法制备了ZnS/CdS复合窗口层,并将其应用于CdTe太阳能电池。对所制备薄膜的形貌和结构等进行了研究。测试了具有不同窗口层的CdTe太阳电池的量子效率和光Ⅰ-Ⅴ特性,分析了ZnS薄膜制备条件对CdTe电池器件性能影响;研究了CdS薄膜厚度和ZnS/CdS复合窗口层对短波区透过率以及CdTe太阳电池的光谱响应的影响。着重研究了具有ZnS/CdS复合窗口层的CdTe太阳电池的短波光谱响应。结果表明,CdS窗口层厚度从100 nm减至50 nm后,其对短波区光子透过率平均提高了18.3%,CdTe太阳电池短波区光谱响应平均提高了27.6%。衬底温度250 ℃条件下制备的ZnS晶粒尺寸小于室温下制备的ZnS。具有ZnS/CdS复合窗口层的CdTe电池中,采用衬底温度250 ℃沉积ZnS薄膜来制备窗口层的电池器件,其性能要优于室温下沉积ZnS制备窗口层的电池器件。这说明晶粒尺寸的大小对电子输运有一定影响。在相同厚度CdS的前提下,具有ZnS/CdS复合窗口层的CdTe电池比具有CdS窗口层在短波的光谱响应提高了约2%。这说明ZnS/CdS复合窗口层能够做到减少对短波光子的吸收,从而使更多的光子被CdTe电池的吸收层吸收。     

Photoluminescence quenching of CdTe/CdS core-shell quantum dots in aqueous solution by ZnO nanocrystals

Photoluminescence (PL) properties of 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) coated CdTe/CdS core-shell quantum dots (QDs) in aqueous solution in the presence of ZnO colloidal nanocrystals were studied by steady-state and time-resolved PL spectroscopy. The PL quenching of CdTe/CdS core-shell QDs with addition of purified ZnO nanocrystals resulted in a decrease in PL lifetime and a small red shift of the PL band. It was found that CdTe(1.5 nm)/CdS type II core-shell QDs exhibited higher efficiency of PL quenching than the CdTe(3.0 nm)/CdS type I core-shell QDs, indicating an electron transfer process from CdTe/CdS core-shell QDs to ZnO nanocrystals. The experimental results indicated that the efficient electron transfer process from CdTe/CdS core-shell QDs to ZnO nanocrystals could be controlled by changing the CdTe core size on the basis of the quantum confinement effect.     

Preparation of water-soluble CdTe/CdS core/shell quantum dots with enhanced photostability

CdTe/CdS core/shell quantum dots (QDs) have been synthesized in an aqueous phase using thioacetamide as a sulfur source. The quantum yield was greatly enhanced by the epitaxial growth of a CdS shell, which was confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results. The quantum yield of as-prepared CdTe/CdS core/shell QDs without any post-preparative processing reached 58%. The experimental results illustrate that the QDs with core/shell structure show better photostability than thioglycolic acid (TGA)-capped CdTe QDs. The cyclic voltammograms reveal higher oxidation potentials for CdTe/CdS core/shell QDs than for TGA-capped CdTe QDs, which explains the superior photostability of QDs with a core/shell structure. This enhanced photostability makes these QDs with core/shell structure more suitable for bio-labeling and imaging.     

生物相容性量子点的表征及其在细胞标记中的应用

Enhanced Oxidation Stability of Quasi Core-Shell Alloyed CdSeS Quantum Dots Prepared Through Aqueous Microwave Synthesis Technique

Quasi core shell alloyed CdSeS quantum dots (QDs) have been prepared through a facile aqueous-phase route employing microwave irradiation technique. The optical spectroscopy and structure characterization evidenced the quasi core shell alloyed structures of CdSeS QDs. The X-ray diffraction patterns of the obtained CdSeS QDs displayed peak positions very close to those of bulk cubic CdS crystal structures and the result of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy data re-confirmed the thick CdS shell on the CdSe core. The TEM images and HRTEM images of the CdSeS QDs ascertained the well-defined spherical particles and a relatively narrow size distribution. On the basis, the stability of the obtained QDs in an oxidative environment was also discussed using etching reaction by H₂O₂. The experiments result showed the as-prepared QDs present high tolerance towards H₂O₂, obviously superior to the commonly used CdTe QDs and core-shell CdTe/CdS QDs, which was attributed to the unique quasi core-shell CdSeS crystal structure and the small lattice mismatch between CdSe and CdS semiconductor materials. This assay provided insight to obtain high stable crystal structured semiconductor nanocrystals in the design and synthesis process.     

Facile synthesis of mercaptosuccinic acid-capped CdTe/CdS/ZnS core/double shell quantum dots with improved cell viability on different cancer cells and normal cells

Water-soluble, mercaptosuccinic acid (MSA)-capped CdTe/CdS/ZnS core/double shell quantum dots (QDs) were prepared by successive growth of CdS and ZnS shells on the as-synthesized CdTe/CdS_thin core/shell quantum dots. The formation of core/double shell structured QDs was investigated by ultraviolet-visible (UV–Vis) absorption and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, PL decay studies, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The core/double shell QDs exhibited good photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) which is 70% higher than that of the parent core/shell QDs, and they are stable for months. The average particle size of the core/double shell QDs was ～3 nm as calculated from the transmission electron microscope (TEM) images. The cytotoxicity of the QDs was evaluated on a variety of cancer cells such as HeLa, MCF-7, A549, and normal Vero cells by 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) cell viability assay. The results showed that core/double shell QDs were less toxic to the cells when compared to the parent core/shell QDs. MCF-7 cells showed proliferation on incubation with QDs, and this is attributed to the metalloestrogenic activity of cadmium ions released from QDs. The core/double shell CdTe/CdS/ZnS (CSS) QDs were conjugated with transferrin and successfully employed for the biolabeling and fluorescent imaging of HeLa cells. These core/double shell QDs are highly promising fluorescent probe for cancer cell labeling and imaging applications.     

Synthesis and characterization of water-soluble, stable and highly luminescent itaconic acid/methacrylic acid copolymer-coated CdSe/CdS quantum dots

The itaconic acid/methacrylic acid (PIA-MAA) copolymer ligand (PIA-MAA) with carboxylate anchoring groups was found to efficiently convert CdSe/CdS core-shell quantum dots (QDs) in chloroform to water-soluble PIA-MAA-ligand stabilized nanocrystals (PIA-MAA-QDs). The quantum yield (QY) of the resulting PIA-MAA-QDs was 24%. In addition, the carboxylate-based PIA-MAA-QDs survived UV irradiation in air for at least 16 days. Upon UV irradiation, the PIA-MAA-QDs became about 2 times brighter than the original CdSe/CdS QDs in chloroform, and the UV-brightened photoluminescence (PL) can retain the brightness for at least several months. Experimental results further confirmed that the PIA-MAA-QDs were more stable than the original CdSe/CdS QDs against strong acid, strong oxidant, photochemical and thermal treatments. The PIA-MAA-QDs were soluble and stable in water, some polar solvents and buffer solutions. In addition to good performance of PIA-MAA-QDs, the synthesis of PIA-MAA ligands and the corresponding water-soluble QDs is relatively simple.
