AgCl-doped CdSe quantum dots with near-IR photoluminescence
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report the synthesis of colloidal CdSe quantum dots doped with a novel Ag precursor: AgCl. The addition of AgCl causes dramatic changes in the morphology of synthesized nanocrystals from spherical nanoparticles to tetrapods and finally to large ellipsoidal nanoparticles. Ellipsoidal nanoparticles possess an intensive near-IR photoluminescence ranging up to 0.9 eV (ca. 1400 nm). In this article, we explain the reasons for the formation of the ellipsoidal nanoparticles as well as the peculiarities of the process. The structure, Ag content, and optical properties of quantum dots are also investigated. The optimal conditions for maximizing both the reaction yield and IR photoluminescence quantum yield are found.

In this experimental work, nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots were successfully synthesized with hydrothermal of the milk. The product was composed of a powder and a stable colloid. The structure of the product was examined by XRD, EDS and FT-IR analysis. Also the particle size of the product was investigated by SEM and TEM images and the results showed the product is mainly composed of the par...

Electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) of CdSe quantum dots (QDs) dispersed in aqueous solution was studied with bare electrode. The ECL emission was observed at -1.4 V vs. Ag/AgCl and the ECL spectrum peak is similar to that of the defect photoluminescence (PL) spectrum, indicating the surface defects played a critical role in the emission process. The experiment results suggested that disso...

We have synthesized high quality type-II CdTe/CdSe near infrared quantum dots using successive ion layer adsorption and reaction chemistry. Transmission electron microscopy reveals that CdTe/CdSe can be synthesized layer by layer yielding quantum dots of narrow size distribution. Excitation and photoluminescence spectra reveal discrete type-II transitions, which correspond to energy lower that ...
متن کاملNear-unity quantum yields of biexciton emission from CdSe/CdS nanocrystals measured using single-particle spectroscopy.
Biexciton photoluminescence (PL) quantum yields (Q(2X)) of individual CdSe/CdS core-shell nanocrystal quantum dots with various shell thicknesses are derived from independent PL saturation and two-photon correlation measurements. We observe a near-unity Q(2X) for some nanocrystals with an ultrathick 19-monolayer shell. High Q(2X)'s are, however, not universal and vary widely among nominally ide...
متن کاملP-156: A Study about Toxicity of CdSe Quantum Dots on Male Sexual System of Mice and Controlling This Toxicity by ZnS Coverage in Immature Mice
Background: Quantum dots are commonly composed of cadmium contained semiconductors. Cadmium is potentially hazardous but toxicity of such quantum dots is not yet systematically investigated. On the other hand, in vitro studies have shown almost complete control of CdSe induced cytotoxicity by ZnS coverage. Toxicity of CdSe quantum dots and controlling this toxicity by ZnS coverage in immature m...
