Ion exchange growth of Zinc Sulfide quantum dots in aqueous solution

ion exchange growth of zinc sulfide quantum dots in aqueous solution

we report the growth by ion exchange synthesis of zns nanoparticles in mcm-41 matrices using zn (ch3coo)2 and na2s starting sources. the final product (zns/mcm-41) was characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd) pattern, transmission electron microscopy (tem), scanning electron microscopy (sem), infrared spectrometry (ir) and uv-vis spectroscopy. its crystalline structure and morphology was studie...

Electrogenerated chemiluminescence of CdSe quantum dots dispersed in aqueous solution.

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...

Synthesis and characterization of luminescent cadmium selenide/zinc selenide/zinc sulfide cholinomimetic quantum dots.

Luminescent quantum dots conjugated with highly selective molecular recognition ligands are widely used for targeting and imaging biological structures. In this paper, water soluble cholinomimetic cadmium selenide (core), zinc selenide/zinc sulfide (shell) quantum dots were synthesized for targeting cholinergic sites. Cholinomimetic specificity was incorporated by conjugation of the quantum dot...

Applications of Quantum Dots in Cell Tracking

Tracking cells after transplantation is always one the main concerns of researchers in the field of regenerative medicine. Finding a tracer with long stability and low cytotoxicity can be considered as a solution for this issue. Semiconductor nanocrystals, also called quantum dots (QDs), have unique photophysical properties which make them as suitable candidate in this setting. Broad-range exci...
