Problems solved by technology

The quantum dots prepared by this method have poor water solubility and are difficult to be applied in biological probes and biomarkers
Moreover, the drugs used in the synthesis method in the organic phase are very toxic and expensive, and the synthesis temperature is usually above 300°C. The steps are complicated, difficult to control, and the pollution is relatively large.
In addition, the quantum dots synthesized purely in the aqueous phase, because the reaction speed in the aqueous solution is too fast, the particle size distribution of the obtained quantum dots is usually not very uniform

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for synthesizing quantum dots with uniform size distribution in an aqueous phase, which comprises the following steps: firstly, dissolving amphiphilic high polymers of different varieties into water so as to form regular micelles when the concentration of the high polymers in the aqueous phase is higher than the critical concentration of the high polymers; and reacting a cadmium sulfydryl composite precursor with NaHSe, NaHTe and Na2S or a thiourea precursor in pore paths of the formed micelles to synthetize quantum dots such as CdS, CdSe, CdTe and the like, and forming the quantum dots with the uniform size distribution by utilizing condensation reflux or the growth of the quantum dots in a hydrothermal reaction kettle. The quantum dots synthesized in the aqueous phase completely are good in water-solubility, and thus the quantum dots can be widely applied in biological aspects and can be widely applied to biomarkers, biological labels and probes; and in addition, the quantum dots with the uniform size distribution have excellent monochromaticity of transmitted fluorescence, wide absorption and narrow and adjustable transmitting positions.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of synthesizing nanomaterials with specific morphology, specifically, when the concentration of high polymers in the aqueous solution exceeds its own critical concentration in the aqueous phase, regular micelles can be formed, and in the micelles The method of synthesizing quantum dots with the same particle size distribution as the micelle diameter and different emission wavelengths and fluorescence intensities is also called nano-reactor (nano-reactor) technology. Background technique [0002] Quantum dots, also known as nanocrystals, are nanoparticles composed of II-VI or III-V elements. The particle size of quantum dots is generally between 1 and 10 nm. Since electrons and holes are quantum-confined, the continuous energy band structure becomes a discrete energy level structure with molecular characteristics, and can emit fluorescence after being excited. Because the optical properties of quantu...
