Decomposition Reaction of Zn-MPA（3-Mercaptopropionic Acid） Complex Under Microwave Irradiation

The thermal decomposition of Zn-MPA complex was investigated under microwave irradiation. ZnO and ZnS nanocrystals could be obtained by decomposing Zn-MPA（3-mercaptopropionic acid） complex under different reaction conditions. It was found that both the pH value of the solution and the molar ratio of Zn2＋ and MPA can play an important role in the formation of ZnO and ZnS nanocrystals. MPA mainly acts as an S source or as a complexing agent. This study provides a new route for the controllable preparation of semiconductor nanocrystals.     

Microwave-assisted aqueous synthesis: a rapid approach to prepare highly luminescent ZnSe(S) alloyed quantum dots

In this paper, we present a new procedure for the rapid synthesis of luminescent ZnSe nanocrystals in aqueous phase by microwave irradiation with controllable temperature. The effects of microwave irradiation and experimental conditions on the synthesis of nanocrystals were investigated systematically. It was found that there were significant effects of pH value of reaction solutions, molar ratio of precursors, and heating time of microwave irradiation on the optical properties of the ZnSe nanocrystals. A series of nanocrystals with different size was prepared in 1 h, and the photoluminescence quantum yield reached up to 17% at the optimal reaction condition. The results of HRTEM and XRD showed that the as-prepared nanocrystals had high crystallinity. The characterizations of EDS spectra and elemental analysis showed that the sulfur content of nanocrystals increased with the growth of nanocrystals. We speculated that the structure of nanocrystals was an alloy ZnSe(S) shell on the surface of the ZnSe particles core. Furthermore, we found that the oxygen from air in the reaction vessel played an important role in the decomposition of the thiol group under microwave irradiation.

Room-temperature Wurtzite ZnS nanocrystal growth on Zn finger-like peptide nanotubes by controlling their unfolding peptide structures

ZnS nanocrystal, a class of wide-gap semiconductors, has shown interesting optical, electrical, and optoelectric properties via quantum confinement. For those applications, phase controls of ZnS nanocrystals and nanowires were critical to tune their physical properties to the appropriate ones. The wurtzite ZnS nanocrystal growth at room temperature is the useful fabrication; however, the most stable ZnS structure in nanoscale is the zinc blende (cubic) structure, and scientists have just begun exploring the room-temperature synthesis of the wurtzite (hexagonal) structure of ZnS nanocrystals. In this report, we applied the Zn finger-like peptides as templates to control the phase of ZnS nanocrystals to the wurtzite structure at room temperature. The peptide nanotubes, consisting of a 20 amino acids (VAL-CYS-ALA-THR-CYS-GLU-GLN-ILE-ALA-ASP-SER-GLN-HIS-ARG-SER-HIS-ARG-GLN-MET-VAL, M1 peptide) synthesized based on the peptide motif of the Influenza Virus Matrix Protein M1, could grow the wurtzite ZnS nanocrystals on the nanotube templates in solution. In the M1 protein, the unfolding process of the helical peptide motif via pH change creates a linker region between N- and C-terminated helical domains that contains a Zn finger-like Cys2His2 motif. Because the higher pH increases the uptake of Zn ions in the Cys2His2 motif of the M1 peptide by unfolding more helical domains, the pH change can essentially control the size and the number of the nucleation sites in the M1 peptides to grow ZnS nanocrystals with desired phases. Here we optimized the nucleation sites in the M1 peptides by unfolding them via pH change to obtain highly monodisperse and crystalline wurtzite ZnS nanocrystals on the template nanotubes at room temperature. This type of peptide-induced biomineralization technique will provide a clean and reproducible method to produce semiconductor nanotubes due to its efficient nanocrystal formation, and the band gaps of resulting nanotubes can also be tuned simply by phase control of ZnS nanocrystal coatings via the optimization of the unfolding peptide structures.     

Doping Cu in semiconductor nanocrystals: some old and some new physical insights

Cu-doped inorganic semiconductors with concomitant optical properties have garnered enormous research interest in the last two decades. However, uncertainties over the origin of Cu emission, its oxidation state, resemblance with trap state emission, position of Cu d-state, emission spectral width, and moreover understanding of the doping mechanism restricted the wide development of the synthetic methodology for high-quality Cu-doped nanocrystals. It has been shown recently that the emission from Cu-doped semiconductor nanocrystals can span over a wide spectral window and could be a potential color tunable dispersed nanocrystal emitter. Herein, we report the size and composition of variable Cu-doped ZnS/Zn(1?x)Cd(x)S zinc-blende (ZB) surface alloyed nanocrystals with intense, stable, and tunable emission covering the blue to red end of the visible spectrum. Further, the Cu dopant emission is distinguished from trap state emission, and the composition variable spectral broadening has been justified on the account of a different environment around the Cu ions in the host lattice. Whereas some findings are in agreement with past reports, several new physical insights presented here would help the community for an in-depth mechanistic study on Cu doping. Moreover, these doped nanocrystal emitters can be a promising candidate for application ranging from optoelectronics to bio-labeling.

Microwave-assisted synthesis of colloidal inorganic nanocrystals

Colloidal inorganic nanocrystals stand out as an important class of advanced nanomaterials owing to the flexibility with which their physical-chemical properties can be controlled through size, shape, and compositional engineering in the synthesis stage and the versatility with which they can be implemented into technological applications in fields as diverse as optoelectronics, energy conversion/production, catalysis, and biomedicine. The use of microwave irradiation as a non-classical energy source has become increasingly popular in the preparation of nanocrystals (which generally involves complex and time-consuming processing of molecular precursors in the presence of solvents, ligands and/or surfactants at elevated temperatures). Similar to its now widespread use in organic chemistry, the efficiency of "microwave flash heating" in dramatically reducing overall processing times is one of the main advantages associated with this technique. This Review illustrates microwave-assisted methods that have been developed to synthesize colloidal inorganic nanocrystals and critically evaluates the specific roles that microwave irradiation may play in the formation of these nanomaterials.     

ESR and photoluminescence properties of Cu doped ZnS nanoparticles

Nanoparticles of Zn1-xCuxS with Cu concentrations of x=0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4 were prepared by a co-precipitation reaction method from homogeneous solutions of zinc and copper salts. Both the ZnS and ZnS:Cu nanoparticles excited at about 370 nm exhibits a broad green emission band peaking around 491 nm, which confirms the characteristic feature of Zn2+ as well as Cu2+ ions as luminescent centers in the lattice. The TEM micrographs showed spherical morphology for ZnS nanocrystals and the average size of the particles was estimated to be around 8.5 nm. At liquid nitrogen temperature, ESR signal characteristic of Cu2+ ions was observed in samples of all concentrations. ESR spectra analysis also indicated that Cu2+ ions enter the host lattice by replacing Zn2+ ions with distorted tetrahedral site symmetry.
