Abstract
In this study, we used the surface stabilizer 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) to synthesize ZnSe quantum dots in nontoxic aqueous solvents. Because of the –COOH group, MPA is an SH-R-COOH molecule that is added to improve the dispersion and quantum dot (QD) compatibility with antibodies. The different structures ZnSe, Mn-doped ZnSe, Mn-doped ZnSe/ZnS, and ZnSe/Mn-doped ZnS/ZnS were investigated to find the optimum photoluminescence (PL). The structure and distribution element of ZnSe/Mn-doped ZnS/ZnS QD were analyzed by the high-resolution TEM image and scanning transmission electron microscopy. This finding of the ZnS buffer layer helps to reduce the defect lattice of QDs, which increases PL significantly. The highest PL intensity of ZnSe/ZnS:Mn/ZnS is significantly more than that of ZnSe and ZnSe/ZnS 6.2 and 3.3 times, respectively. In addition, the fluorescence efficiency of ZnSe/ZnS:5%Mn/ZnS-MPA was 74.37% higher than that of ZnSe:5%Mn/ZnS-MPA (55.04%) in ZnS buffer.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
