Synthesis of water soluble MoS2 quantum dots from the monolayer nanosheets of MoS2, using thioglycolic acid (TGA) was reported in this study. TGA molecules not only exfoliated the bulk of MoS2, but also modified the hydrophobic surface of MoS2 with hydrophilic carboxylic acid groups.

We report the synthesis of luminescent-doped core/shell quantum dots (QDs) of water-soluble manganese-doped zinc sulfide (ZnS:Mn2+/ZnS) . QDs of ZnS:Mn2+/ZnS were prepared by nucleation doping strategy, with thioglycolic acid (TGA) as stabilizer in aqueous solution. Structure and optical properties of the ZnS:Mn2+/ZnS core/shell quantum dots were characterized by X-ray diffraction and photoluminescence emission spectroscopy. The influence of the synthesis conditions on the luminescent properties of ZnS:Mn2+/ZnS QDs is discussed. Different Mn2+ concentrations, ratios of the TGA/ (Zn+Mn) and thickness of the ZnS shell were used. Results showed that the ZnS:Mn2+/ZnS QDs are water-soluble and have improved fluorescence properties. Therefore, Mn2+ -doped ZnS quantum dots could be potential candidates as fluorescent labeling agents in biology.

This paper describes the synthesis of CdTe and CdTe/CdS core-shell quantum dots (QDs) in aqueous solution. The quantum dots are prepared by using thioglycolic acid (TGA) as stabilizers. The synthesis procedure is simple and controllable. Different sized CdTe QDs with tuned PL wavelengths from 550 to 640 nm was synthesized by controlling reaction time within 5 h in aqueous solutions at a temperature of 100 °C. We also investigated the influence of precursor Cd/Te molar ratio for the prepared QDs. It was showed that the core-shell CdTe/CdS QDs have larger photoluminescence (PL) emission intensity than the original CdTe QDs. The synthesized core-shell CdTe/ZnS QDs have high quality, water-soluble and will be useful in applications of biolabeling, biosensing, and imaging.

We investigated the optical characterization of luminescent thioglycolic acid (TGA) stabilized CdTe quantum dots (CdTe-QD) synthesized in water. The influence of stabilizing agents on the luminescent properties of water-soluble CdTe quantum dots (QDs) was described. It is found that QDs can be synthesized easily when TGA is chosen as stabilizing agent and TGA leads to preparation of highly luminescent QDs due to the secondary effects of bonds between Cd2+ and sulfhydryl groups. The absorption wavelength and PL stability of TGA-CdTe are also characterized. Size can be controlled between 2.0 nm to 4.0 nm. The TGA-CdTe QDs prepared at 2 h reaction time possess excellent luminescent properties.
