Forming water-soluble CdSe/ZnS QDs using amphiphilic polymers, stearyl methacrylate/methylacrylate copolymers with different hydrophobic moiety ratios and their optical properties and stability

The amphiphilic stearyl methacrylate/methylacrylic acid copolymers (PSMs) were used as phase transfer reagents to convert CdSe/ZnS core-shell quantum dots (QDs) in chloroform to water-soluble PSMs-coated quantum dots (PSM-QDs). The optical properties and stability of PSM-QDs were influenced by the hydrophobic moiety ratios of PSMs, the PSM/QDs mass/volume ratio and the reaction time. The resulting PSM-QDs on optimum reaction conditions retained 60% of the photoluminescence value of the original CdSe/ZnS QDs in chloroform. The carboxylate-based PSM-QDs survived UV irradiation in air for at least 15 days. Upon UV irradiation, the PSM-QDs became about 2 times brighter than the original CdSe/ZnS QDs in chloroform, and the UV-brightened PL can retain the brightness for at least several months. Experimental results further confirmed the stability of PSM-QDs against strong acid, photochemical and thermal treatments. In addition to good performance of PSM-QDs, the synthesis of PSM and the corresponding water-soluble QDs is relatively simple.

Quantum dot fluorescence as a function of alkyl chain length in aqueous environments

In this work, we examine the dependence of the fluorescence quantum yield of water-soluble CdSe/ZnS quantum dots on the local environment. The hydrophobicity of the local environment was modified by using different alkyl chain lengths in a set of oligo-ethylene glycols. Our results show that the quantum yield of CdSe/ZnS quantum dots is highest for the longest alkyl chain length, suggesting that a more hydrophobic environment is beneficial for generating bright, water-soluble quantum dots.     

Optical properties of CdSe and CdSe/ZnS quantum dots dispersed in solvents of different polarity

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.     

Control of the optical properties of quantum dots by surface coating with calix[n]arene carboxylic acids

A new method for the control of the optical properties of quantum dots (QDs) has been developed using calix[n]arene carboxylic acids (1-3) as surface coating agents for QDs. The calixarene coating of CdSe/ZnS QDs was easily performed in tetrahydrofuran at room temperature. Deprotonation of the carboxyl groups of the calixarene derivatives surrounding the QDs resulted in highly fluorescent water-soluble QDs. The emission peak of the calixarene-coated QDs shifted to longer wavelengths depending on the oligomer size of the calix[n]arene derivative used for the surface coating. Although the red shift of the emission peak decreases with the increase in the particle size of QDs, this surface coating method is useful for the preparation of multi-colored water-soluble QDs from a single-colored hydrophobic QD.

Incorporation into paper of cellulose triacetate films containing semiconductor nanoparticles

CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) were embedded in films of cellulose triacetate (CTA) to give clear films with the broad absorbance and well-defined, size-tunable fluorescence characteristic of QDs. The relative quantum yields of the QDs in polymer were compared to that of the initial QDs dispersed in toluene. Alkaline hydrolysis of the film surfaces to regenerated cellulose rendered the previously hydrophobic CTA film surfaces hydrophilic and compatible with aqueous papermaking. Films containing combinations of different sized QDs gave more complex emission patterns. Small pieces of fluorescent films were added to pulp slurries and incorporated into laboratory paper sheets through hydrogen bonding between the regenerated cellulose film surfaces and cellulosic pulp fibers. The film system (cellulose ester bulk/cellulose surface) can be used to incorporate hydrophobic particles or molecules compatible with solutions of cellulosic polymers into paper products at both high and low loadings. QDs in paper may prove useful for security applications, such as sheets with unique optical signatures.     

Preparation and characterization of thiacalix[4]arene coated water-soluble CdSe/ZnS quantum dots as a fluorescent probe for Cu2+ ions

Highly fluorescent water-soluble CdSe/ZnS (core/shell) quantum dots (QDs) as a fluorescent Cu2+ ion probe were synthesized using thiacalix[4]arene carboxylic acid (TCC) as a surface coating agent. Hydrophobic trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO) capped CdSe/ZnS QDs were overcoated with TCC in tetrahydrofuran at room temperature, and deprotonation of the carboxyl groups of TCC resulted in the formation of water-soluble QDs. The surface structure of the QDs was characterized by using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS). TEM images showed that TCC-coated QDs were monodispersed with the particle size (core-shell moiety) of approximately 5 nm. Hydrodynamic diameter of the TCC-coated QDs was determined to be 8.9 nm by FCS, showing that the thickness of the surface organic layer of the QDs was approximately 2 nm. These results indicate that the surface layer of TCC-coated QDs forms a bilayer structure consisting of TOPO and TCC molecules. TCC-coated CdSe/ZnS QDs were highly fluorescent (quantum yield, 0.21) compared to the QDs surface-modified with mercaptoacetic acid and mercaptoundecanoic acid. Fluorescence of the TCC-coated QDs was effectively quenched by Cu2+ ions even in the presence of other transition metal ions such as Cd2+, Zn2+, Co2+, Fe2+, and Fe3+ ions in the same solution. The Stern-Volmer plot for the fluorescence quenching by Cu2+ ions showed a linear relationship up to 30 microM of Cu2+ ions. The ion selectivity of TCC-coated QDs was determined by measurements of fluorescence responses towards biologically important transition metal ions (50 microM) including Fe2+, Fe3+, Co2+>Zn2+, Cd2+. The fluorescence of TCC-coated QDs was almost insensitive to other biologically important ions such as Na+, K+, Mg2+, and Ca2+, suggesting that TCC-coated QDs can be used as a fluorescent Cu2+ ion probe for biological samples. A possible quenching mechanism by Cu2+ ions was also discussed on the basis of a Langmuir-type adsorption isotherm.
