Zn_xCd_(1-x)S量子点组成与其光催化活性的关系（英文）

Aqueous colloidal dispersions containing Znx Cd1‐x S quantum dots (QDs) of different x compositions were prepared by precipitating zinc and cadmium acetates with sodium sulphide,in the presence of a cetyltrimethylammonium bromide stabilizer.Ultraviolet‐visible absorption spectroscopy was used to determine the transition energies of the QDs,which in turn were used to calculate their sizes,which depended on their composition.The QD size decreased with increasing Zn content.The photocatalytic activity of the Znx Cd1‐x S QDs was studied by the decomposition of methylene blue under ultraviolet irradiation,at a maximum intensity at 365 nm (3.4 e V).Three different photo‐catalytic activity regions were observed,which depended on the Zn content.The quantum levels of the QDs could be excited by incident irradiation,and influenced the resulting photocatalytic activity.Maximum photocatalytic activity was achieved at x = 0.6,where the QD transition energy was equal to the irradiation photon energy.The photocatalytic efficiency of the QDs depended on their surface area and arrangement of quantum levels,because of the quantum size effect.     

Microstructure-controlled aerosol-gel synthesis of ZnO quantum dots dispersed in SiO2 nanospheres

ZnO quantum dots dispersed in a silica matrix were synthesized from a TEOS:Zn(NO(3))(2) solution by a one-step aerosol-gel method. It was demonstrated that the molar concentration ratio of Zn to Si (Zn/Si) in the aqueous solution was an efficient parameter with which to control the size, the degree of agglomeration, and the microstructure of ZnO quantum dots (QDs) in the SiO(2) matrix. When Zn/Si ≤ 0.5, unaggregated quantum dots as small as 2 nm were distributed preferentially inside SiO(2) spheres. When Zn/Si ≥ 1.0, however, ZnO QDs of ～7 nm were agglomerated and reached the SiO(2) surface. When decreasing the ratio of the Zn/Si, a blue shift in the band gap of ZnO was observed from the UV/Visible absorption spectra, representing the quantum size effect. The photoluminescence emission spectra at room temperature denoted two wide peaks of deep-level defect-related emissions at 2.2-2.8 eV. When decreasing Zn/Si, the first peak at ～2.3 eV was blue-shifted in keeping with the decrease in the size of the QDs. Interestingly, the second visible peak at 2.8 eV disappeared in the surface-exposed ZnO QDs when Zn/Si ≥ 1.0.     

金属离子对CdS量子点/聚酰胺-胺树形分子纳米复合材料光致发光性能的影响

以聚酰胺-胺树形分子为模板制备了分散好、尺寸均匀的CdS量子点，并用分光光度滴定法研究了Cd²⁺、Zn²⁺、Pb²⁺、Cu²⁺、Mn²⁺几种金属离子对其光致发光性能的影响。发现不同离子对CdS量子点的发光性能影响不同:Cd²⁺和Zn²⁺使量子点荧光增强，Pb²⁺、Cu²⁺和Mn²⁺使其荧光有不同程度淬灭。这归因于金属离子对CdS量子点表面的修饰作用。Cd²⁺能减少由S^2-悬键构成的非辐射复合中心，增强树形分子对量子点表面缺陷的钝化作用，并能在量子点周围形成类肖特基能垒，从而显著增大CdS量子点的光致发光效率。由于ZnS与CdS的晶格参数非常接近，Zn²⁺能起到与Cd²⁺类似的作用，使CdS量子点的发光效率大大增强。Pb²⁺和Cu²⁺能取代Cd²⁺在CdS量子点表面生成窄带隙的壳层，对其发光有很强的淬灭作用。由于块体PbS的带隙比块体CuS窄，故Pb²⁺的淬灭能力强于Cu²⁺。Mn²⁺能破坏Cd²⁺与PAMAM树形分子的配位键，降低树形分子对CdS量子点表面缺陷的钝化作用，且其本身在量子点表面构成了新的荧光淬灭中心，但Mn²⁺也能形成较弱的类肖特基能垒，故对量子点的发光淬灭作用较弱。     

Synthesis of Multifunctional Mn‐Doped CdTe/ZnS Core/Shell Quantum Dots

The synthesis of a novel water‐soluble Mn‐doped CdTe/ZnS core‐shell quantum dots using a proposed ultrasonic assistant method and 3‐mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) as stabilizer is descried. To obtain a high luminescent intensity, post‐preparative treatments, including the pH value, reaction temperature, reflux time and atmosphere, have been investigated. For an excellent fluorescence of Mn‐doped CdTe/ZnS, the optimal conditions were pH 11, reflux temperature 100°C and reflux time 3 h under N₂ atmosphere. While for phosphorescent Mn‐doped CdTe/ZnS QDs, the synthesis at pH 11, reflux temperature 100°C and reflux time 3 h under air atmosphere gave the best strong phosphorescence. The characterizations of Mn‐doped CdTe/ZnS QDs were also identified using AFM, IR, powder XRD and thermogravimetric analysis. The data indicated that the photochemical stability and the photoluminescence of CdTe QDs are greatly enhanced by the outer inorganic ZnS shell, and the doping Mn²⁺ ions in the as‐prepared quantum dots contribute to strong luminescence. The strong luminescence of Mn‐doped CdTe/ZnS QDs reflected that Mn ions act as recombination centers for the excited electron‐hole pairs, attributing to the transition from the triplet state (⁴T₁) to the ground state (⁶A₁) of the Mn²⁺ ions. All the experiments demonstrated that the surface states played important roles in the optical properties of Mn‐doped CdTe/ZnS core‐shell quantum dots.     

Synthesis of Cysteine-Capped Zn(x)Cd(1)(-)(x)Se alloyed quantum dots emitting in the blue-green spectral range

Alloyed ZnxCd1-xSe quantum dots (QDs) have been successfully prepared at low temperatures by reacting a mixture of Cd(ClO4)2 and Zn(ClO4)2 with NaHSe using cysteine as a surface-stabilizing agent. The photoluminescence (PL) spectra of the alloyed QDs are determined on the basis of the Zn2+/Cd2+ molar ratio, reaction pH, intrinsic Zn2+and Cd2+ reactivities toward NaHSe, concentration of NaHSe, and the kind of thiols. A systematic blue shift in emission wavelength of the alloyed QDs was found with the increase in the Zn mole fraction. This result provides clear evidence of the formation of ZnxCd1-xSe QDs by the simultaneous reaction of Zn2+ and Cd2+ with NaHSe, rather than the formation of separate CdSe and ZnSe nanocrystals or core-shell structure CdSe/ZnSe nanocrystals. The size and inner structure of these QDs are also corroborated by using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and X-ray powder diffraction. To further understand the formation mechanism, the growth kinetics of Zn0.99Cd0.01Se was studied by measuring the PL spectra at different growth intervals. The results demonstrated that, in the initial stage of growth, Zn0.99Cd0.01Se has a structure with a Cd-rich core and a Zn-rich shell. The post-preparative irradiation of these QDs improved their PL properties, resulting in stronger emission.     

Long-term exposure to CdTe quantum dots causes functional impairments in live cells

Several studies suggested that the cytotoxic effects of quantum dots (QDs) may be mediated by cadmium ions (Cd2+) released from the QDs cores. The objective of this work was to assess the intracellular Cd2+ concentration in human breast cancer MCF-7 cells treated with cadmium telluride (CdTe) and core/shell cadmium selenide/zinc sulfide (CdSe/ZnS) nanoparticles capped with mercaptopropionic acid (MPA), cysteamine (Cys), or N-acetylcysteine (NAC) conjugated to cysteamine. The Cd2+ concentration determined by a Cd2+-specific cellular assay was below the assay detection limit (<5 nM) in cells treated with CdSe/ZnS QDs, while in cells incubated with CdTe QDs, it ranged from approximately 30 to 150 nM, depending on the capping molecule. A cell viability assay revealed that CdSe/ZnS QDs were nontoxic, whereas the CdTe QDs were cytotoxic. However, for the various CdTe QD samples, there was no dose-dependent correlation between cell viability and intracellular [Cd2+], implying that their cytotoxicity cannot be attributed solely to the toxic effect of free Cd2+. Confocal laser scanning microscopy of CdTe QDs-treated cells imaged with organelle-specific dyes revealed significant lysosomal damage attributable to the presence of Cd2+ and of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can be formed via Cd2+-specific cellular pathways and/or via CdTe-triggered photoxidative processes involving singlet oxygen or electron transfer from excited QDs to oxygen. In summary, CdTe QDs induce cell death via mechanisms involving both Cd2+ and ROS accompanied by lysosomal enlargement and intracellular redistribution.     

基于Mn掺杂ZnS量子点的室温磷光传感应用的研究进展

与一般有机染料分子相比,半导体材料量子点具有优异的光学性能,在多个领域得到了广泛的应用.量子点具有窄而对称且可调的发射波长、宽激发强吸收、抗光漂白能力强以及水溶性好等诸多优势,引起了研究者广泛关注.为了增加量子点的斯托克斯位移从而很好地避免量子点的自猝灭现象,引入掺杂物是一种很有效的方式.掺杂量子点不仅保留了量子点原有的优点,而且还赋予量子点额外的优异性能.如Mn掺杂ZnS量子点生物相容性好,不含Cd和Hg等有害元素,而且Mn2+的加入使其具有优异的室温磷光特性.磷光检测能很好地避开生物背景荧光的干扰,使得Mn掺杂ZnS量子点能够广泛应用于磷光生物分析.本文综述了Mn掺杂ZnS量子点在室温磷光分析中的研究进展,着重介绍了几种具有启发意义的设计策略,包括其发光机理以及应用于离子、分子以及生物大分子等的检测.     

Water-based route to colloidal Mn-doped ZnSe and core/shell ZnSe/ZnS quantum dots

Relatively monodisperse and highly luminescent Mn(2+)-doped zinc blende ZnSe nanocrystals were synthesized in aqueous solution at 100 °C using the nucleation-doping strategy. The effects of the experimental conditions and of the ligand on the synthesis of nanocrystals were investigated systematically. It was found that there were significant effects of molar ratio of precursors and heating time on the optical properties of ZnSe:Mn nanocrystals. Using 3-mercaptopropionic acid as capping ligand afforded 3.1 nm wide ZnSe:Mn quantum dots (QDs) with very low surface defect density and which exhibited the Mn(2+)-related orange luminescence. The post-preparative introduction of a ZnS shell at the surface of the Mn(2+)-doped ZnSe QDs improved their photoluminescence properties, resulting in stronger emission. A 2.5-fold increase in photoluminescence quantum yield (from 3.5 to 9%) and of Mn(2+) ion emission lifetime (from 0.62 to 1.39 ms) have been observed after surface passivation. The size and the structure of these QDs were also corroborated by using transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, and X-ray powder diffraction.     

Tight confinement of semiconductor quantum dots within zeolite by surface silylation

Various MX (M = Cd, Zn, and Mn, X = S and Se) semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) were prepared in zeolite Y. While the QDs are readily expelled from zeolite interior upon exposure of the MX QD-incorporating zeolite Y ([MX]-Y) to the ambient atmosphere due to moisture adsorption, they remain tightly confined within zeolites even after exposure to the moist atmosphere for several weeks when the surfaces were silylated with various silylating agents. This methodology will facilitate the characterization of the zeolite-encapsulated QDs and the application of QD-incorporating zeolites.     

Pulsed field gradient NMR studies of polymer adsorption on colloidal CdSe quantum dots

Pulsed field gradient nuclear magnetic resonance (PFG NMR) experiments have been used to examine ligand exchange between poly(2-(N,N-dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) (PDMA) (Mn = 12,000, Mw/Mn = 1.20, Nn = 78) and trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO) bound to the surface of CdSe/TOPO quantum dots (QDs). We show that PFG 1H NMR can quantify the displacement of TOPO by PDMA through its ability to differentiate signals due to TOPO bound to the QDs versus those from TOPO molecules free in solution. For CdSe QDs with a band edge absorption maximum at 558 nm (diameter 2.7 nm by transmission electron microscopy), we determined that, at saturation, 8 polymer chains on average displace greater than 90% of the surface TOPO groups. At partial saturation, with an average of 6 polymer chains/QD, each TOPO displaced requires 28 DMA repeat units. Assuming that one Me2N- group binds to a surface Cd2+ for each TOPO displaced, we infer that only about 3% of the DMA units are directly bound to the surface. The remaining groups are present as loops or tails that protrude into the solvent and increase the hydrodynamic diameter of the particles.
