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.

In this work the fluorescence enhancement that water-soluble CdTe quantum dots (QDs) capped with 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) exhibit in the presence of a biguanide compound, chlorhexidine, was investigated.
