Citric Acid Capped CdS Quantum Dots for Fluorescence Detection of Copper Ions (II) in Aqueous Solution.

ABSTRACT: Citric acid capped CdS quantum dots (CA-CdS QDs), a new assembled fluorescent probe for copper ions (Cu²⁺), was synthesized successfully by a simple hydrothermal method. In this work, the fluorescence sensor for the detection of heavy and transition metal (HTM) ions has been extensively studied in aqueous solution. The results of the present study indicate that the obtained CA-CdS QDs could detect Cu²⁺ with high sensitivity and selectivity. It found that the existence of Cu²⁺ has a significant fluorescence quenching with a large red shifted (from greenish-yellow to yellowish-orange), but not in the presence of 17 other HTM ions. As a result, Cu?S, the energy level below the CdS conduction band, could be formed at the surface of the CA-CdS QDs and leads to the quenching of fluorescence of CA-CdS QDs. Under optimal conditions, the copper ions detection range using the synthesized fluorescence sensor was 1.0 × 10^?8 M to 5.0 × 10^?5 M and the limit of detection (LOD) is 9.2 × 10^?9 M. Besides, the as-synthesized CA-CdS QDs sensor exhibited good selectivity toward Cu²⁺ relative to other common metal ions. Thus, the CA-CdS QDs has potential applications for detecting Cu²⁺ in real water samples.

L-Aspartic Acid Capped CdS Quantum Dots as a High Performance Fluorescence Assay for Sliver Ions (I) Detection.

Project description:A new high performance fluorescence assay for detection of Ag+ based on CdS quantum dots (QDs) using L-Aspartic acid (L-Asp) as a stabilizer was proposed in this work. The CdS quantum dots conjugation with L-Aspartic acid (L-Asp@CdS QDs) were successfully synthesized via a simple hydrothermal process. The QDs have a fluorescence emission band maximum at 595 nm with a quantum yield of 11%. The obtained CdS QDs exhibit a particle size of 1.63 ± 0.28 nm and look like quantum dot flowers. Basically, the fluorescence intensity of L-Asp@CdS QDs can be enhanced only upon addition of Ag+ and a redshift in the fluorescence spectrum was observed. Under optimum conditions, the fluorescence enhancement of L-Asp@CdS QDs appeared to exhibit a good linear relationship in between 100-7000 nM (R2 = 0.9945) with the Ag+ concentration, with a detection limit of 39 nM. The results indicated that the L-Asp@CdS QDs were well used in detection for Ag+ as fluorescence probe in aqueous solution with high sensitivity and selectivity. Moreover, the sensing system has been applied in detection Ag+ in real water samples. The recovery test results were 98.6%~113%, and relative standard deviation (n = 5) is less than 3.6%, which was satisfactory.

Enhancement of Charge Transfer and Quenching of Photoluminescence of Capped CdS Quantum Dots.

Project description:Quantum dots (Q-dots) of cadmium sulfide (CdS) with three different capping ligands, 1-butanethiol (BT), 2-mercaptoethanol (ME) and benzyl mercaptan (BM) have been investigated. An external electric field of variable strength of 0.2-1.0 MV cm(-1) was applied to the sample of capped CdS Q-dots doped in a poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) films. Field-induced changes in optical absorption of capped CdS Q-dots were observed in terms of purely the second-derivative of the absorption spectrum (the Stark shift), indicating an enhancement in electric dipole moment following transition to the first exciton state. The enhancement depends on the shape and size of the Q-dots prepared using different capping ligands. Field induced-change in photoluminescence (PL) reveals similar changes, an enhancement in charge-transfer (CT) character in exciton state. PL of capped CdS Q-dots is significantly quenched in presence of external electric field. The strong field-induced quenching occurs as a result of the increased charge separation resulting exciton dissociation. Thus, understanding the CT character and field-induced PL quenching of CdS Q-dots is important for photovoltaic, LEDs and biological applications.

Cranberry Beans Derived Carbon Dots as a Potential Fluorescence Sensor for Selective Detection of Fe3+ Ions in Aqueous Solution.

Project description:Recently, synthesis, characterization, and application of carbon dots have received much attention. Natural products are the effectual carbon precursors to synthesize carbon dots with fascinating chemical and physical properties. In this study, the fluorescent sensor of carbon dots derived from cranberry beans without any functionalization and modification was developed. The carbon dots were prepared with a cheap, facile, and green carbon precursor through a hydrothermal treatment method. The synthetic process was toxic chemical-free, convenient, and environmentally friendly. To find the optimized synthetic conditions, the temperature, heating time duration, and carbon precursor weight were evaluated. The prepared carbon dots were characterized by UV light, transmission electron microscopy, Raman, Fourier transform infrared, UV-vis, and fluorescence spectroscopy. The resulting carbon dots exhibit stable fluorescence with a quantum yield of approximately 10.85%. The carbon dots emitted the broad fluorescence emission range between 410 and 540 nm by changing the excitation wavelength and were used for the detection of Fe3+ ions at the excitation of 380 nm. It is found that Fe3+ ions induced the fluorescence intensity quenching of the carbon dots stronger than other heavy metals and the Fe3+ ion detection can be achieved within 3 min. Spectroscopic data showed that the obtained carbon dots can detect Fe3+ ions within the wide concentration range of 30-600 ?M with 9.55 ?M detection limit.

Iodide capped PbS/CdS core-shell quantum dots for efficient long-wavelength near-infrared light-emitting diodes.

Project description:PbS based quantum dots (QDs) have been studied in great detail for potential applications in electroluminescent devices operating at wavelengths important for telecommunications (1.3-1.6 μm). Despite the recent advances in field of quantum dot light-emitting diode (QLED), further improvements in near-infrared (NIR) emitting device performance are still necessary for the widespread use and commercialization of NIR emitting QLED technology. Here, we report a high-performance 1.51-μm emitting QLED with inverted organic-inorganic hybrid device architecture and PbS/CdS core-shell structured quantum dots as emitter. The resultant QLEDs show a record device performance for the QLEDs in 1.5 μm emission window, with a maximum radiance of 6.04 Wsr-1 m-2 and peak external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 4.12%, respectively.

Ultra-small aqueous glutathione-capped Ag-In-Se quantum dots: luminescence and vibrational properties.

Project description:We introduce a direct aqueous synthesis of luminescent 2-3 nm Ag-In-Se (AISe) quantum dots (QDs) capped by glutathione (GSH) complexes, where sodium selenosulfate Na2SeSO3 is used as a stable Se2- precursor. A series of size-selected AISe QDs with distinctly different positions of absorption and PL bands can be separated from the original QD ensembles by using anti-solvent-induced size-selective precipitation. The AISe-GSH QDs emit broadband PL with the band maximum varying from 1.65 eV (750 nm) to 1.90 eV (650 nm) depending on the average QD size and composition. The PL quantum yield varies strongly with basic synthesis parameters (ratios of constituents, Zn addition, duration of thermal treatment, etc.) reaching 4% for "core" AISe and 12% for "core/shell" AISe/ZnS QDs. The shape and position of PL bands is interpreted in terms of the model of radiative recombination of a self-trapped exciton. The AISe-GSH QDs reveal phonon Raman spectra characteristic for small and Ag-deficient tetragonal Ag-In-Se QDs. The ability of ultra-small AISe QDs to support such "bulk-like" vibrations can be used for future deeper insights into structural and optical properties of this relatively new sort of QDs.

Real-time monitoring of CdTe quantum dots growth in aqueous solution.

Project description:Quantum dots (QDs) are remarkable semiconductor nanoparticles, whose optical properties are strongly size-dependent. Therefore, the real-time monitoring of crystal growth pathway during synthesis gives an excellent opportunity to a smart design of the QDs luminescence. In this work, we present a new approach for monitoring the formation of QDs in aqueous solution up to 90 °C, through in situ luminescence analysis, using CdTe as a model system. This technique allows a detailed examination of the evolution of their light emission. In contrast to in situ absorbance analysis, the in situ luminescence measurements in reflection geometry are particularly advantageous once they are not hindered by the concentration increase of the colloidal suspension. The synthesized particles were additionally characterized using X-ray diffraction analysis, transition electron microscopy, UV-Vis absorption and infrared spectroscopy. The infrared spectra showed that 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MPA)-based thiols are covalently bound on the surface of QDs and microscopy revealed the formation of CdS. Setting a total of 3 h of reaction time, for instance, the QDs synthesized at 70, 80 and 90 °C exhibit emission maxima centered at 550, 600 and 655 nm. The in situ monitoring approach opens doors for a more precise achievement of the desired emission wavelength of QDs.

Facile Synthesis of Aminated Graphene Quantum Dots for Promising and Selective Detection of Cobalt and Copper Ions in Aqueous Media.

Project description:Due to the rapid development of industrialization, various environmental problems such as water resource pollution are gradually emerging, among which heavy metal pollution is harmful to both human beings and the environment. As a result, there are many metal ion detection methods, among which fluorescence detection stands out because of its rapid, sensitive, low cost and non-toxic characteristics. In recent years, graphene quantum dots have been widely used and studied due to their excellent properties such as high stability, low toxicity and water solubility, and have a broad prospect in the field of metal ion detection. A novel high fluorescence Cu2+, Co2+ sensing probe produced by graphene quantum hydrothermal treatment is reported. After heat treatment with hydrazine hydrate, the small-molecule precursor nitronaphthalene synthesized by self-nitrification was transformed from blue fluorescent GQDs to green fluorescent amino-functionalized N-GQDs. Compared with other metal ions, N-GQDs are more sensitive to Cu2+ and Co2+ on the surface, and N-GQDs have much higher selectivity to Cu2+ and Co2+ than GQDs. The strategy proposed here is simple and economical in design.

Silica encapsulation of thiol-stabilized lead selenide (PbSe) quantum dots in aqueous solution.

Project description:Silica encapsulation of lead selenide quantum dots (PbSe QDs) in aqueous solution is reported. Thioglycolic acid (TGA) stabilized PbSe QDs were modified with 3-mercaptopropyl trimethoxysilane (MPS) through vigorous stirring in water for 18-24 h in alkaline solution (pH 10.4-10.6). Silica shell was developed by controlled deposition and precipitation of silicates from sodium silicate solution onto MPS modified QDs surfaces. TEM images showed multiple PbSe QDs encapsulated in silica shell. The size of PbSe-SiO2 core-shell nanocrystals was estimated to be 25-30 nm by TEM. Elemental compositions (Pb, Se and Si) were investigated by EDX analysis. The purified colloids of PbSe-SiO2 QDs were stable for months when kept at 4 °C.

Blinking and nonradiant dark fraction of water-soluble quantum dots in aqueous solution.

Project description:Water-soluble quantum dots (qdots) are now being used in life sciences research to take advantage of their bright, easily excited fluorescence and high photostability. Although the frequent erratic blinking and substantial dark (never radiant) fractions that occur in all available qdots may interfere with many applications, these properties of individual particles in biological environments had not been fully evaluated. By labeling Qdot-streptavidin with organic dyes, we were able to distinguish individual dark and bright qdots and to observe blinking events as qdots freely diffused in aqueous solution. Bright fractions were measured by confocal fluorescence coincidence analysis (CFCA) and two-photon cross-correlation fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS). The observed bright fractions of various preparations were proportional to the ensemble quantum yields (QYs), but the intrinsic brightness of individual qdots was found to be constant across samples with different QYs but the same emission wavelengths. Increasing qdots' illuminated dwell time by 10-fold during FCS did not change the fraction of apparently dark qdots but did increase the detected fraction of blinking qdots, suggesting that the dark population does not arise from millisecond blinking. Combining CFCA with wide-field imaging of arrays of qdots localized in dilute agarose gel, the blinking of qdots was measured across five orders of magnitude in time: approximately 0.001-100 s. This research characterizes photophysical pathologies of qdots in biologically relevant environments rather than adhered on dielectric surfaces and describes methods that are useful for studying various bioapplicable nanoparticles.
