Problems solved by technology

Quantum dots synthesized in water phase are prone to agglomeration in air at room temperature, and their stability is not good enough, which limits the application of water-soluble quantum dots
In 2001, the work of Mulvany et al. (Selvan et al. Adv. Mater. 2001, 13: 985-988) took an important step in immobilizing quantum dots in a glass matrix, but the immobilized quantum dots have a low Luminous efficiency (about 10%), and its fluorescence intensity decreased by nearly half within a day, indicating that the quantum dots were not stably fixed in the glass matrix
Gerion et al. (Gerion et al.J.Phys.Chem.B 2001, 105:8861-8871) successfully immobilized CdSe quantum dots in silicon nanoparticles with a luminous efficiency as high as 18%, but the method they used was too complicated , the operation is more cumbersome

Abstract

A process of sol-gel fixing water-soluble quantum dots relates to a semi-conductor nano particle. A process of sol-gel fixing water-soluble quantum dots which has simple operation, can rapidly realize the fixture of water-soluble quantum dots and can keep the luminous property of quantum dots is provided. A gel film which is fixed with water-soluble quantum dots is prepared through mixing 3-aminopropyl-trimethoxy silane and methyl alcohol to obtain mixing solution A, mixing evenly CdC12 and mercaptoacetic acid, regulating the pH of solution with NaOH to obtain solion B, taking the mixing solution A into a container and adding ultrapure water, stirring to hydrolyze 3-amino propyl-trimethoxy silane to obtain mixing solution C, sealing the mouth of the container which holds the mixing solution C, punching on the sealing film, making the container which holds the mixing solution B constant temperature, taking the container which holds the mixing solution and adding water-soluble quantum dots and solion B to obtain mixing solution D, and finally obtaining the gel film which is fixed with water-soluble quantum dots after making the container which holds the mixing solution C constant temperature.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a semiconductor nanoparticle (quantum dot), in particular to a method for fixing water-soluble quantum dots by sol-gel. Background technique [0002] Semiconductor nanoparticles, also known as quantum dots (Quantum Dots, QDs), are mainly nanocrystals composed of II-VI group elements (such as CdSe, CdTe, CdS, ZnSe, etc.) and III-V group elements (such as InP, InAs, etc.) , the current study is mainly CdX (X = S, Se, Te). Due to the small particle size of quantum dots, electrons and holes are quantum-confined, and the continuous energy band becomes a discrete energy level structure with molecular characteristics. Therefore, the optical behavior is similar to that of some organic molecules (such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) and can emit fluorescence. Quantum dots have the characteristics of wide excitation spectrum, narrow emission spectrum (half-peak width less than 40nm), the wavelength of the fluorescence emission peak...
