Toxicities of CdSe and CdSe/CdS quantum dots(QDs) synthesized by ultrasound-assisted methods were investigated in vitro and in vivo.Five human cell lines were used to assess the cytotoxicity of as-prepared CdSe and CdSe/CdS by assays of MTT viability,red blood cell hemolysis,flow cytometry,and fluorescence imaging.The results show that these QDs may be cytotoxic by their influence in S and G2 phases in cell cycles.The cytotoxicity of QDs depends on both the physicochemical properties and related to target cells. 相似文献

Syntheses of CdTe/CdSe type-II quantum dots (QDs) using CdO and CdCl2 as precursors for core and shell, respectively, are reported. Characterization was made via near-IR interband emission, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDX), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Femtosecond fluorescence upconversion measurements on the relaxation dynamics of the CdTe core (in CdTe/CdSe) emission and CdTe/CdSe interband emission reveal that as the size of the core increases from 5.3, 6.1 to 6.9 nm, the rate of photoinduced electron separation decreases from 1.96, 1.44 to 1.07 x10(12) s(-1). The finite rates of the initial charge separation are tentatively rationalized by the small electron-phonon coupling, causing weak coupling between the initial and charge-separated states. 相似文献

This Article reports measurements of the intra- and intermolecular ordering of tight-binding octylphosphonate ligands on the surface of colloidal CdSe quantum dots (QDs) within solid state films, and the dependence of this order on the size of the QDs. The order of the organic ligands, as probed by vibrational sum frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy, decreases as the radius of the QDs decreases; this decrease is correlated with a decrease in the order of underlying Cd(2+), as detected by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) line width measurements, for radii of the QDs, R > 2.4 nm, and is independent of the disorder of the Cd(2+) for R < 2.4 nm. We believe that, for R < 2.4, the decreasing order of the ligands with decreasing size is due to an increase in the curvature of the QD surfaces. Disorder in the Cd(2+) results from the presence of a shell of Cd(2+)-surfactant complexes that form during synthesis, so this work demonstrates the possibility for chemical control over molecular order within films of colloidal QDs by changing the surfactant mixture. 相似文献

This paper describes the synthesis of core-shell CdSe/CdS quantum dots (QDs) in aqueous solution by a simple photoassisted method. CdSe was prepared from cadmium nitrate and 1,1-dimethylselenourea precursors under illumination for up to 3 h using a pulsed Nd:YAG laser at 532 nm. The effects that the temperature and the laser irradiation process have on the synthesis of CdSe were monitored by a series of experiments using the precursors at a Cd:Se concentration ratio of 4. Upon increasing the temperature (80-140 degrees C), the size of the CdSe QDs increases and the time required for reaching a maximum photoluminescence (PL) is shortened. Although the as-prepared CdSe QDs possess greater quantum yields (up to 0.072%) compared to those obtained by microwave heating (0.016%), they still fluoresce only weakly. After passivation of CdSe (prepared at 80 degrees C) by CdS using thioacetamide as the S source (Se:S concentration ratio of 1) at 80 degrees C for 24 h, the quantum yield of the core-shell CdSe/CdS QDs at 603 nm is 2.4%. Under UV irradiation of CdSe/CdS for 24 h using a 100-W Hg-Xe lamp, the maximum quantum yield of the stable QDs is 60% at 589 nm. A small bandwidth (W1/2 < 35 nm) indicates the narrow size distribution of the as-prepared core-shell CdSe/CdS QDs. This simple photoassisted method also allows the preparation of differently sized (3.7-6.3-nm diameters) core-shell CdSe/CdS QDs that emit in a wide range (from green to red) when excited at 480 nm. 相似文献

A method for synthesizing multidentate thiol ligands on fused silica surfaces (e.g., optical fibers) was developed for the immobilization of CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) capped with hydrophilic or hydrophobic ligands. This work was motivated by the poor stability of QDs immobilized via monodentate thiol ligands and the need for stable immobilization strategies in the development of sensor technologies based on QDs. Multi-dentate immobilization was able to withstand washing protocols, and surface ligand exchange occurred via self-assembly through the zinc-metal affinity interaction. Atomic force and scanning electron microscopy images suggested that the QDs were immobilized at high density, approximately 2-4 x 10 (13) cm (-2). It was possible to immobilize one, two, or three colors of QD. Upon immobilization, 1-2 nm bathochromic shifts in the PL spectra were observed. This was attributed to both ligand exchange and the change in local environment. The change in environment was accompanied by a decrease in PL lifetime. Self-assembly of immobilized QD-oligonucleotide and QD-avidin conjugates was also demonstrated. These conjugates were able to hybridize with complementary oligonucleotide and bind biotin, respectively. This versatile immobilization chemistry is an important step in the development of surface-based QD nanosensors. Such technology requires QDs to be immobilized such that they remain accessible to target molecules in solution. 相似文献

The ligand capping of phosphonic acid functionalized CdSe/ZnS core–shell quantum dots (QDs) was investigated with a combination of solution and solid‐state 31P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Two phosphonic acid ligands were used in the synthesis of the QDs, tetradecylphosphonic acid and ethylphosphonic acid. Both alkyl phosphonic acids showed broad liquid and solid‐state 31P NMR resonances for the bound ligands, indicative of heterogeneous binding to the QD surface. In order to quantify the two ligand populations on the surface, ligand exchange facilitated by phenylphosphonic acid resulted in the displacement of the ethylphosphonic acid and tetradecylphosphonic acid and allowed for quantification of the free ligands using 31P liquid‐state NMR. After washing away the free ligand, two broad resonances were observed in the liquids' 31P NMR corresponding to the alkyl and aromatic phosphonic acids. The washed samples were analyzed via solid‐state 31P NMR, which confirmed the ligand populations on the surface following the ligand exchange process. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

A procedure has been developed for hydrophilization of CdSe semiconductor quantum dots with anionic, cationic, and nonionic surfactants. Depending on the type of a surfactant, these particles may carry positive, negative, or no charges. In spite of the universality of the proposed procedure, the hydrophilization with specific surfactants must be carried out at specific concentrations of reagents and medium pH values. Under optimum conditions, the transfer of the quantum dots to water substantially increases the quantum yield of their luminescence. Conditions have been found under which the luminescence properties of the hydrophilic particles remain almost unchanged for a long time period. 相似文献

Semiconductor nanocrystal quantum dots (QDs), owing to their unique opto-electronic properties determined by quantum confinement effects, have been the subject of extensive investigations in different areas of science and technology in the past two decades. The electrochemical behaviour of QDs, particularly for CdSe and CdTe nanocrystals, has also been explored, although to a lesser extent compared to the optical properties. Voltammetric measurements can be used to probe the redox levels available for the nanocrystals, which is an invaluable piece of information if these systems are involved in electron transfer processes. Electrochemical data can also foster the interpretation of the spectroscopic properties of QDs, and give insightful information on their chemical composition, dimension, and surface properties. Hence, electrochemical methods constitute in principle an effective tool to probe the quality of QD samples in terms of purity, size dispersion, and surface defects. The scope of this critical review is to discuss the results of electrochemical studies carried out on CdSe and CdTe core and core-shell semiconductor nanocrystals of spherical shape. Examples of emerging or potential applications that exploit electroactive quantum dot-based systems will also be illustrated. 相似文献

We have performed ultrafast absorption bleach recovery and fluorescence upconversion measurements ( approximately 100 fs time resolution) for three CdSe samples, with nanoparticle diameters of 2.7, 2.9, and 4.3 nm. The two types of experiments provide complementary information regarding the contributions of the different processes involved in the fast relaxation of electrons and holes in the CdSe quantum dots. Transient absorption and emission experiments were conducted for the 1S [1Se-1S3/2(h)] transition, 1S(e) and 1S3/2(h) representing the lowest electron (e) and hole (h) levels. The bleach recovery of the 1S transition shows a approximately 400-500 fs initial rise, which is followed by a size-dependent approximately 10-90 ps decay and finally a long-lived (approximately ns) decay. The fluorescence upconversion signal for the 1S transition shows quite different temporal behavior: a two times slower rise time (approximately 700-1000 fs) and, when the fluorescence upconversion signal has risen to about 20% of its maximum intensity, the signal displays a slight leveling off (bend), followed by a continued rise until the maximum intensity is reached. This bend is well reproducible and power and concentration independent. Simulations show that the bend in the rise is caused by a very fast decay component with a typical time of about 230-430 fs. Considering that the 1S quantum dot excitation is comprised of five exciton substates (F=+/-2, +/-1L, 0L, +/-1U, and 0U), we attribute the disparity in the rise of the bleaching and emission transients to the results from the dynamics of the different excitons involved in respectively the bleaching and fluorescence experiments. More specifically, in transient absorption, population changes of the F=+/-1U excitons are probed, in emission population effects for the F=+/-2 ("dark") and the F=+/-1L ("bright") exciton states are monitored. It is discussed that the fast (approximately 400-500 fs) rise of the bleach recovery is representative of the feeding of the F=+/-1U exciton (by filling of the 1S(e) electron level) and that the slower (approximately 700-1000 fs) feeding of the emissive +/-2, +/-1L excitons is determined by the relaxation of the hole levels within the 1S3/2 fine structure. Finally, the approximately 230-430 fs component, typical of the bend in the fluorescence transient, is attributed to the thermalization of the close-lying +/-2 ("dark") and +/-1L ("bright") excitons. 相似文献

We have developed a capillary electrophoresis method to characterize the QD surface ligand interactions with various surfactant
systems. The method was demonstrated with 2–5 nm CdSe nanoparticles surface-passivated with trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO).
Water solubility was accomplished by surfactant-assisted phase transfer via an oil-in-water microemulsion using either cationic,
anionic, or non-ionic surfactants. Interaction between the QD surface ligand (TOPO) and the alkyl chain of the surfactant
molecule produces a complex and dynamic surface coating that can be characterized through manipulation of CE separation buffer
composition and capillary surface modification. Additional characterization of the QD surface ligand interactions with surfactants
was accomplished by UV-VIS spectroscopy, photoluminescence, and TEM. It is anticipated that studies such as these will elucidate
the dynamics of QD surface ligand modifications for use in sensors.

Comparison of the UV-vis absorption spectra of CdSe quantum dots (QDs) capped with various mercaptocarboxylic acid capping ligands reveals that only 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (MBzA) capping ligands lower the apparent optical band gap. We propose that the delocalization of the excitons in the CdSe QDs is extended onto the ligands via electronic coupling to the π system of the 4-mercaptobenzoic acid molecules through the Cd-S bond. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the electronic coupling between the QDs and the (MBzA) thiol ligands is influenced by the strength of the Cd-S bond that can be changed by protonating the S atom. 相似文献

The interaction of some diamines (ethylenediamine (EDA), 1,6-hexanediamine (HDA), o-phenylenediamine (OPD)) with CdSe quantum dots (QDs) is reported. With increasing concentration of EDA from 0 to 2.0 x 10(-6) mol l(-1), slight fluorescence enhancement is observed. However, the CdSe QDs fluorescence quenching is seen at relatively higher concentration of EDA. There is a red-shift of 0-7 nm in fluorescence emission spectra of CdSe QDs when the concentration of EDA is changed from 2.0 x 10(-6) to 8.0 x 10(-6) mol l(-1). The resonance light scattering (RLS) spectra of CdSe QDs have little change when the concentration of EDA is less than 5.0 x 10(-6) mol l(-1). It indicates there are little large particles formed in the solution. However, a significant increase of the RLS is observed in the 300-500 nm wavelength range after adding higher concentration than 5.0 x 10(-6) mol l(-1) EDA, which could be attributed to the large particles formed. The interaction between HDA and CdSe QDs is similar to that of EDA. However, with the OPD, it is found that the interaction is much different from those of EDA, HDA, and that the quenching, even at low concentration, is effective for CdSe QDs emission. The quenching phenomenon could be explained by a surface bound complexation equilibrium model. 相似文献

Mn ion doping of CdSe and other semimagnetic quantum dot (QDs) alloys has been an area of active speculation for over a decade. We report evidence of Mn(II) doping of CdSe grown from a cubic single source precursor that is superparamagnetic (SPM) with a blocking temperature of 40 K following thermal annealing. Prior to thermal annealing the 4 nm Mn/CdSe (1% Mn) QDs exhibit mainly paramagnetic behavior between 300 and 2 K, with a weak antiferromagnetic exchange. Following thermal annealing of the sample, high-temperature ferromagnetic exchange is observed in the magnetization data with the onset of an SPM phase at 40 K that exhibits a coercivity of 0.1 T at 2 K. The switching-on of SPM behavior is believed to be linked to ion migration with formation of (Se-Mn-Se-Mn-Se-Mn)n centers within the nanocrystal that exhibit coupled magnetic moments. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) provides evidence of two distorted T(d) Mn core sites, a clustered site (dipolar broadened), and a localized Mn site (hyperfine-split). The ratio of the EPR signature for the dipolar broadened site increases following annealing and shows a hysteretic response around the blocking temperature. These observations suggest that thermal annealing results in enhanced cluster formation explaining the onset of the SPM phase in these nanoscale materials. Evidence of SPM behavior is evident in the field-dependent non-Langevin magnetization with a tangential loss in the ac-magnetic susceptibility and the Mydosh parameter (phi = 0.16). 相似文献

pH-sensitive ligand for luminescent quantum dots 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

We developed a strategy to switch the luminescence of semiconductor quantum dots with chemical stimulations. It is based on the photoinduced transfer of either energy from CdSe-ZnS core-shell quantum dots to [1,3]oxazine ligands or electrons from the organic to the inorganic components. The organic ligands incorporate a dithiolane anchoring group, an electron-rich indole, and a 4-nitrophenylazophenoxy chromophore in their molecular skeleton. Their adsorption on the surface of the quantum dots results in partial luminescence quenching. Electron transfer from the indole fragment to the nanoparticles is mainly responsible for the decrease in luminescence intensity. Upon addition of base, the [1,3]oxazine ring of the ligands opens to generate a 4-nitrophenylazophenolate chromophore, which absorbs in the range of wavelengths where the quantum dots emit. This transformation activates an energy-transfer pathway from the excited nanoparticles to the ligands. In addition, the oxidation potential of the ligand shifts in the negative direction, improving the efficiency of electron transfer. The overall result is a decrease in the luminescence quantum yield of 83%. Addition of acid also opens the [1,3]oxazine ring of the ligands. However, the resulting 4-nitrophenylazophenol does not absorb in the visible region and cannot accept energy from the excited nanoparticles. Furthermore, the oxidation potential shifts in the positive direction, lowering the electron-transfer efficiency. In fact, the luminescence quantum yield increases by 33% as a result of this transformation. These changes are fully reversible and can be exploited to probe the pH of aqueous solutions from 3 to 11. Indeed, our sensitive quantum dots adjust their luminescence in response to variations in pH within this particular range of values. Thus, our general design strategy can eventually lead to the development of pH-sensitive luminescent probes for biomedical applications based on the unique photophysical properties of semiconductor quantum dots. 相似文献

The spectroscopic properties of CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) were observed to change as a function of thioalkyl acid ligand. Experiments were performed using 2, 3, 6, and 11-carbon linear thioalkyl acids, as well as mercaptosuccinic acid (MSA) and dihydrolipoic acid (DHLA). Bathochromic shifts of up to 14 nm in the emission spectra of QDs capped with these ligands were observed. Similarly, hypsochromic or bathochromic shifts up to 7 nm were observed for a specific ligand in acidic or basic solution, respectively. These shifts could be correlated to the number of ionized ligands and the ability of the ligands to act as hole acceptors. It was also found that differences in quantum yield between the ligands were primarily due to variations in radiative decay rate and not nonradiative decay rate. This indicated that different degrees of QD surface passivation were not responsible for the differences, and that the radiative system must be considered as the sum of the ligands and the QD nanocrystal. The stability of QDs capped with mercaptoacetic acid, MSA, and DHLA towards aggregation at low pH was found to correlate with the pK(a) of the ligands. Spectral shifts were also observed during aggregation. Overall, the luminescence of thioalkyl acid capped QDs appears to be a complex function of dielectric constant, electrostatic or hole-acceptor interactions with ionized ligands, and, to a lesser extent, passivation. 相似文献

Photoluminescence (PL) intermittency characteristics are examined for single quantum dots (QDs) in a CdSe QD sample synthesized at a slow rate at 75 degrees C. Although the PL quantum efficiency was relatively low ( approximately 0.25), we noticed that the PL intensity of single CdSe QDs fluctuated on a subsecond time scale with short-lived "on" and "off" states. The subsecond PL intensity fluctuations of CdSe QDs are different from "on" and "off" PL blinking generally observed for QDs fluctuating on a millisecond to minute time scale. We characterized single QDs by identifying polarized excitations, topographic imaging using atomic force microscopy (AFM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). From analysis of the PL intensity trajectories from >100 single CdSe QDs, the average intermittency time was 213 ms. From the PL quantum efficiency, slow growth of QDs, intensity trajectory analyses, and previous reports relating surface trap states and PL properties of QDs, we attribute the subsecond PL intensity fluctuations of single CdSe QDs and short-lived "on" and "off" states to a high-density distribution of homogeneous surface trap states. 相似文献

CdSe quantum dots are the most studied Cd-based quantum dots with their high quantum yield, high photostability, narrow emission band, and easy synthesis procedure. They are frequently used to develop light emitting diode (LED) due to their unique photophysical properties; however, their narrow emission band causes a challenge to design white LEDs because white light emission requires emission in multiple wavelengths with broad emission bands. Here in this study, we developed CdSe quantum dots with a narrow band-edge emission band and broad defect-state emission band through a modified two-phase synthesis method. Our results revealed that defect-state emission is directly linked to the surface of quantum dots and can be excited through exciting surfactant around the quantum dot. The effect of surfactant on emission properties of CdSe quantum dots diminished upon growing a shell around CdSe quantum dots; as a result, surface-dependent defect-state emission cannot be observed in gradient heterogeneous alloyed CdSxSe1-x quantum dots. 相似文献
