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. 相似文献
Hybrid systems based on graphene and semiconductor quantum dots are prospective materials for optoelectronics and photonics. In this work, electronic structure and dielectric properties of small particles of cadmium sulfide on the surface of graphene were studied using the density functional theory. The optical spectrum of this hybrid structure depends on the orientation of the nanoparticle relative to graphene due to the interaction between electrons of sulfur atoms on the surface of the CdS particle and π-orbitals of carbon atoms. 相似文献

A good balance: Oil‐soluble CdTe/CdS core/shell quantum dots (QDs) that emit in the visible and near‐infrared spectral regions with quantum yields up to 92 % (see figure) are prepared by balancing the coordinating capacity and the activation effect of selected surfactants.
Novel thermoresponsive CdTe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) decorated with a copolymer ligand (CPL) containing 8‐hydroxyquinoline and NIPAM units are prepared through coordinate bonding in aqueous solution. The dependence of the morphology and optical properties of the QDs/CPL assemblies formed via coordinate bonding on the experimental conditions is studied. The coordinate induced self‐assemblies are observed by controlling the molar ratio of QDs and CPL. The self‐organized structure of QDs/CPL proceeds through a first step of QDs‐chains, followed by a necklace‐like single annular chain, and subsequently increases its annular chain structure, forming a network. The CPL functionalized QDs can emit multiple colors from the cooperating interaction between the inherent emission (606 nm) of the QDs and the surface‐coordinated emission (517 nm) of the CPL complex formed on the QD surface. For QDs‐CPL systems, both Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) and a high rate of photoinduced electron transfer (PET) are simultaneous, the latter mainly contributing to PL quenching. The thermoresponsive QDs/CPL assemblies also exhibit dual reversible PL properties between the inherent emission of QDs and surface‐coordinated emission.
Synthesis, characterization, and the optical behavior of CdS quantum dots nanoparticles were studied confined in clays. An alternative synthesis approach in different natural clays K-10 bentonite, Na-montemorillonite, halloysite, and saponite was carried out. The composite materials were characterized by XRD and FTIR spectroscopy, energy dispersive, scanning, and transmission electron microscopy. After CdS-QDs formation, the synthesized materials became fluorescent with emission wavelengths (average and standard deviation of the maximum wavelength; full width of half maximum): K-10 bentonite-CdS (590 ± 5 nm; 183 nm); Na-montmorillonite-CdS (550 ± 3 nm; 219 nm); saponite-CdS (550 ± 5 nm; 219 nm), and halloysite-CdS (590 ± 8 nm; 185 nm).
