The Influence of Surface Modification on the Photoluminescence of CdTe Quantum Dots: Realization of Bio‐Imaging via Cost‐Effective Polymer

To impart biocompatibility, stability, and specificity to quantum dots (QDs)—and to reduce their toxicity—it is essential to carry out surface modification. However, most surface‐modification processes are costly, complicated, and time‐consuming. In addition, the modified QDs often have a large size, which leads to easy aggregation in biological environments, making it difficult to excrete them from in vivo systems. To solve these problems, three kinds of conventional polymers, namely, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA, neutral), sodium polystyrene sulfonate (PSS, negative charged), and poly(diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride) (PDDA, positive charged) were selected to modify the surface of QDs at low cost via a simple process in which the size of the QDs was kept small after modification. The effect of polymer modification on the photoluminescence (PL) properties of the QDs was systematically investigated. High quantum yields (QYs) of 65 % were reached, which is important for the realization of bio‐imaging. Then, the cytotoxicity of CdTe QD–polymer composites was systematically investigated via MTT assay using the Cal27 and HeLa cell lines, especially for high concentrations of QD–polymer composites in vitro. The experimental results showed that the cytotoxicity decreased in the order CdTe‐PDDA>CdTe>CdTe‐PSS>CdTe‐PVA, indicating that PSS and PVA can reduce the toxicity of the QDs. An obvious cytotoxicity of CdTe‐PVA and CdTe‐PSS was present until 120 h for the Cal27 cell line and until 168 h for the HeLa cell line. At last, the Cal27 cell line was selected to realize bio‐imaging using CdTe‐PSS and CdTe‐PVA composites with different emission colors under one excitation wavelength.     

Microwave-assisted Synthesis of CdTe Quantum Dots Using 3-Mercaptopropionic Acid as Both a Reducing Agent and a Stabilizer

In this paper, a facile synthetic approach to prepare CdTe quantum dots(QDs) with high luminescence via a one-pot microwave irradiation reaction route using 3-mercaptopropionic acid(MPA) as both a sodium tellurite reducer and a capping molecule was described, and the mechanism of the formation of CdTe QDs was elucidated. In this approach, CdTe QDs with six different emission wavelengths of 553, 567, 577, 595, 608 and 615 nm were obtained via changing the refluxing time and the quantum yields(QY) of these QDs were 40.6%, 55.3%, 63.6%, 43.4%, 37.4% and 29.7%, respectively. The characterization results of X-ray powder diffraction(XRD) and transmission electron microscopy(TEM) indicate that the obtained QDs have a pure cubic zinc blended structure with a spherical shape. No toxic gases were released during the preparation process, indicating that the method is relatively fast, cheap and environmentally friendly.

Preparation of giant unilamellar CdTe quantum dot vesicles and their metabolic pathway in vivo

Glutathione (GSH) capped CdTe quantum dots (QDs) with photoluminescence quantum yields of 61% and the maximum emitting at 601.2 nm were prepared in water phase. Giant unilamellar CdTe quantum dot vesicles (GUVs-CdTe), with diameters larger than 1.5 μm, were obtained using lower-pressure evaporation techniques with soybean lecithin. Compared with other QD liposomes, the entrapment efficiency of GUVs-CdTe for QDs has been significantly improved to 86.3%. After GUVs-CdTe were injected into mice through the tail vein, the fluorescence microscopy of tissue sections showed that GUVs-CdTe could not pass through the blood-brain barrier and air-blood barrier, which were removed mostly by the reticuloendothelial system and were widely distributed in the spleen and the liver. This behavior is the same as the character of the metabolic pathway of giant unilamellar vesicles by intravenous injections in mice.

Effect of CdS Interlayer on Properties of CdTe Based Quantum Dots

Highly luminescent thioglycolic acid-capped CdTe-based core/shell quantum dots (QDs) were synthesized through encapsulating CdTe QDs in various inorganic shells including CdS, ZnS and CdZnS. CdTe/CdS core/shell QDs exhibited a significant redshift of emission peaks (a maximum emission peak of 652 nm for the core/shell QDs and 575 nm for CdTe cores) with increasing shell thickness. In contrast, the redshift of photoluminescence (PL) peak wavelength of CdTe/ZnS QDs was less than 15 nm. The PL peak wavelengths of the core/shell QDs depended strongly on core size and shell thickness. The PL quantum yields (QYs) of the CdTe/CdS core/shell QDs are up to 67 % while that of CdTe/ZnS core/shell QDs is 45 %. A composite CdZnS shell made CdTe cores a high PL QY up to 51 % and broadly adjusted PL spectra (a maximum PL peak wavelength of 664 nm). The epitaxial growth of the shell was confirmed by X-ray powder diffraction analysis and luminescence decay experiments. Because of high PL QYs, tunable PL spectra, and low toxicity from a ZnS surface layer, CdTe/CdZnS core/shell QDs will be great potential for bioapplications.
