Greatly enhanced electrochemiluminescence of CdS nanocrystals upon heating in the presence of ammonia

CdS nanocrystals (NCs) usually exhibit very weak electrochemiluminescence (ECL) emission. It is showed that when CdS NCs were treated by heating in the presence of ammonia (heated-CdS–NH₃), greatly enhanced ECL was observed. The ECL of the heated-CdS–NH₃ modified glassy carbon electrode (heated-CdS–NH₃/GCE) in phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.0) containing 0.1 M K₂S₂O₈ was ca. 310 times higher than that of CdS/GCE. The treatment caused the changes in the morphology and surface electronic structure of CdS NCs, which facilitated the reduction process of CdS, consequently improved the quantity of the excited states (CdS*), leading to enormous enhancement in ECL.     

Graphene enhanced electrochemiluminescence of CdS nanocrystal for H2O2 sensing

Graphene-CdS (G-CdS) nanocomposites were successfully prepared by CdS nanocrystals (CdS NCs) formed in situ on the surface of graphene sheets, using graphene oxide (GO) sheets with rich negatively charged carboxylic acid groups as starting materials. Compared with pure CdS NCs, the presence of the graphene doped in G-CdS nanocomposites could facilitate the electrochemical redox process of CdS NCs; further, the as-prepared G-CdS nanocomposite can react with H₂O₂ to generate strong and stable electrochemiluminescent (ECL) emission, which not only enhances its ECL intensity by about 4.3-fold but also decreases its onset potential for about 320 mV. The as-prepared solid-state ECL H₂O₂ sensor shows acceptable linear response from 5 μM up to 1 mM with a detection limit of 1.7 μM (S/N = 3). The ECL H₂O₂ sensor exhibits excellent reproducibility and long-term stability. Such a property would promote the potential application of the graphene as enhanced materials in fabricating sensors for chemical and biochemical analysis.     

Revealing Crystallization-Induced Blue-Shift Emission of a Di-Boron Complex by Enhanced Photoluminescence and Electrochemiluminescence

Elucidating the effects of crystallization-induced blue-shift emission of a newly synthesized di-boron complex (DBC) by enhanced photoluminescence (PL) and electrochemiluminescence (ECL) in the annihilation pathway was realized for the first time. The 57 nm blue-shift and great enhancement in the crystalline lattice relative to the DBC solution were attributed to the restriction of intramolecular rotation (RIR) and confirmed by PL imaging, X-ray diffraction, as well as DFT calculations. It was discovered that ECL at crystalline film/solution interfaces can be further enhanced by means of both co-reactant route and RIR. The RIR contributions with co-reactant increased ECL up to 5 times more. Very interestingly, the co-reactant system was found to give off a red-shifted light emission. Mechanistic studies reveal that a difference between location of the ECL in the co-reactant route and that in the annihilation pathway leads to an alternative emission wavelength.     

Ultrafast and large third-order nonlinear optical properties of CdS nanocrystals in polymeric film

We report the ultrafast and large third-order nonlinear optical properties of CdS nanocrystals (NCs) embedded in a polymeric film. The CdS NCs of 2 nm radius are synthesized by an ion-exchange method and highly concentrated in the two layers near the surfaces of the polymeric film. The two-photon absorption coefficient and the optical Kerr coefficient are measured with laser pulses of 250 fs duration at 800 nm wavelength. The one-photon and two-photon figures of merit are determined to be 3.1 and 1.3, respectively, at irradiance of 2 GW/cm(2). The observed nonlinearities have a recovery time of approximately 1 ps. The two-photon-generated free carrier effects have also been observed and discussed. These results demonstrate that CdS NCs embedded in polymeric film are a promising candidate for optical switching applications.     

Synthesis and properties of transparent luminescent nanocomposites with surface functionalized semiconductor nanocrystals

5-Amino-1,10-phenanthroline (Aphen) was used as an organic ligand to functionalize CdS nanocrystals (NCs) by a ligand-exchange process. The functional Aphen-CdS NCs have strong luminescent emission at 552 nm and good dispersibility in the polar organic monomers. The Aphen-CdS NCs were dispersed in polymeric monomers to prepare a series of transparent luminescent nanocomposites with excellent thermal stability via in-situ bulk polymerization. The fluorescent properties of the Aphen-CdS NCs were well retained in the polymer matrix. It was found that when the methacrylic acid (MAA) and glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) as the comonomers were introduced into the polymer matrix, the emission peaks of the resultant nanocomposites had a blue shift and the fluorescent intensities also increased due to the interaction between NCs and the polymer matrices. The transparent NCs/polymer nanocomposites with tunable fluorescent emission can be potentially used for the fabrication of optoelectronic devices.

Elucidating the effects of crystallization‐induced blue‐shift emission of a newly synthesized di‐boron complex (DBC) by enhanced photoluminescence (PL) and electrochemiluminescence (ECL) in the annihilation pathway was realized for the first time. The 57 nm blue‐shift and great enhancement in the crystalline lattice relative to the DBC solution were attributed to the restriction of intramolecular rotation (RIR) and confirmed by PL imaging, X‐ray diffraction, as well as DFT calculations. It was discovered that ECL at crystalline film/solution interfaces can be further enhanced by means of both co‐reactant route and RIR. The RIR contributions with co‐reactant increased ECL up to 5 times more. Very interestingly, the co‐reactant system was found to give off a red‐shifted light emission. Mechanistic studies reveal that a difference between location of the ECL in the co‐reactant route and that in the annihilation pathway leads to an alternative emission wavelength.     

Alpha-cyclodextrin functionalized CdS nanocrystals for fabrication of 2/3 D assemblies

Different types of cyclodextrins (CDs) have been tested as mediators for the water phase transfer of organic-capped CdS nanocrystals (NCs), and alphaCD has been demonstrated to be the most effective system. The formation of a complex based on alphaCDs and colloidal NCs has been considered to be responsible for the phase transfer process and extensively investigated by optical, structural, and calorimetric measurements, as a function of the experimental parameters (pH and NC and CD concentration). A mechanism for the complexation phenomena has been suggested. The fabrication of 2/3 D supramolecular architectures has been proposed according to two different strategies. First, a layer-by-layer procedure has been used to obtain multilayered structures where polyelectrolyte layers have been intercalated with negatively charged alphaCD-CdS NC complexes by exploiting electrostatic interaction between polyelectrolyte and cyclodextrin OH groups. Second, a monolayer of CdS NCs has been deposited onto a self-assembled monolayer of sulfated CDs, thus combining the use of an electrostatic-force-based approach and host-guest chemistry. The important role played by host-guest interactions has then been revealed.     

Applicability Evaluation of Bright Green‐Emitting Carbon Dots in the Solid State for White Light‐Emitting Diodes

Self‐quenching‐resistant and bright green‐emitting carbon dots (CDs) in the solid state were synthesized via a facile hydrothermal method. Their structure, optical properties together with their thermal and photostabilities, as well as their applicability in white LEDs were investigated. The obtained CDs have nearly spherical shape with a size around 4–5 nm. The resulting powder CDs show excitation‐independent emission behavior, and can be excited over a broad range from 300–450 nm. Under optimal excitation at 400 nm, the resultant powder CDs yield bright and broad green emission around 505 nm with full width at half maximum (FWHM) of about 110 nm and under 360 nm excitation with lifetime of 15.8 ns. A potential application of the green‐emitting CDs was evaluated by constructing a white light‐emitting diode lamp. The fabricated white LED lamp emitted bright, warm white light with excellent color rendering properties (a color rendering index of 86.9 and a correlated color temperature of 3863 K).
