Abstract:

In this report, we present a facile approach for the synthesis of luminescent CdS and CdS:Mn+2 nanocrystals by reaction of CdSO4 and Na2S2O3 in the presence of thioglycerol (C3H8O2S) as capping agent. The influence of various experimental variables including, pH values and percentage of dopant, on the growth rate and optical properties of the obtained CdS nanocrystals has been systematically investigated. Experimental results show that by lapsing time and increasing particles size, red shift has occurred in the absorption edge and peak of luminescence. Luminescence of CdS nanoparticles covers 480-650nm of visible range. This luminescence arises from trap states and reaches to its maximum in pH=6 after 5 days. Doping of CdS with Mn+2 is found to enhance the photoluminescence (PL) intensity. PL Peak in CdS:Mn+2 sample has shifted towards 580nmdue to transition in Mn+2 ions.

Tuning luminescence of 3d transition-metal doped quantum particles: Ni+2: CdS and Fe+3: CdS

The room-temperature photoluminescence of Cd1−xMxS (M=Ni, Fe) nanoparticles were investigated. Compared with the photoluminescence of CdS which peaks at 475 nm, the photoemission of CdS:Fe nanoparticles was peaking at 537 nm because of Fe acting as luminescent centers. On the other hand, the green emission (503 nm) of CdS:Ni attributed to the T2g(D)→ A2g(F) raditive transition. With the increas...

A Simple Image Analysis Method for Determination of Glucose by using Glucose Oxidase CdTe/TGA Quantum Dots

Glucose, as the major energy source in cellular metabolism, plays an important role in the natural growth of cells. Herein, a simple, rapid and low-cost method for the glucose determination by utilizing glucose oxidase and CdTe/thioglycolic acid (TGA) quantum dots (QDs) on a thin layer chromatography (TLC) plate has been described. The detection was based on the combination of the glucose enzym...

An effective oxidation approach for luminescence enhancement in CdS quantum dots by H2O2

The effects of surface passivation on the photoluminescence (PL) properties of CdS nanoparticles oxidized by straightforward H2O2 injection were examined. Compared to pristine cadmium sulfide nanocrystals (quantum efficiency ≅ 0.1%), the surface-passivated CdS nanoparticles showed significantly enhanced luminescence properties (quantum efficiency ≅ 20%). The surface passivation by H2O2 injectio...
