A facile green approach has been developed to control the growth regime in the aqueous synthesis of CdxZn1-xTe semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) based on the electrochemistry method. The Low growth temperature and slow injection of Te precursor are used to prolong the diffusion controlled stage and thus suppress Ostwald ripening during the nanocrystal growth. The experimental results showed that a low concentration of Te precursor will definitely influence the growth procedure. The UV–visible absorption spectra, as well as transmission electron microscopy (TEM) shows the QDs a good monodispersity at any interval of the reaction procedure. The high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) images and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern suggested that the as-prepared QDs have high crystallinity and cubic structure. The size and composition-dependent fluorescent emission wavelength of the resultant CdxZn1-xTe alloyed QDs can be tuned from 460 to 610 nm, and their photoluminescent quantum yield can reach up to 70%. Especially in the wavelength range of 510–578 nm, the overall PL QYs of the as-prepared CdxZn1-xTe QDs were above 50%. The current work suggests that electrochemical method is an attractive approach to the synthesis of high-quality II-VI ternary alloyed semiconductor QDs at large-scale with a prominent cost advantage.

Photolysis Of Phenol

AbstractA broadband method has been applied to determine the quantum yields for the photochemical removal of three common pollutants: phenol, 4-chlorophenol and N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) in dilute aqueous solution. Flash photolysis (xenon flash lamps) was used to cause a significant amount of photolysis without photolyzing intermediates. The analysis of reactant depletion following a single flash was carried out by high- performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or UV/visible absorption spectroscopy. The method for determining quantum-yields employed p-benzoquinone as an actinometer and was validated by determining the average (200-400 nm) quantum yield for the generation of hydroxyl radicals from the photolysis of hydrogen peroxide (0.90 ± 0.10) and the quantum yields for the photolysis of phenol (0.13 ± 0.02) and 4-chlorophenol (0.24 ± 0.04). The values determined agree very well with the literature ones obtained with monochromatic radiation. The quantum yield for the direct photolysis of NDMA was found to be 0.11 ± 0.03 at neutral pH and 0.27 ± 0.02 at pH 2-4. Under conditions where hydrogen peroxide is the principal absorber, the NDMA quantum yield is 0.32 ± 0.04, independent of pH in the range 2-8.

The Impact

The synthesis of metal free, magnesium and zinc tetrakis(2-benzoyl-4-chlorophenoxy) phthalocyanine derivatives (2–4) is described along with their characterization by elemental analysis, IR, UV-visible absorption, and 1 H NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Trends observed in the fluorescence, triplet state, singlet oxygen and photodegradation quantum yields and the triplet state lifetimes are also analyzed. The compounds exhibit high solubility in a wide range of organic solvents and no evidence of aggregation was observed over a wide concentration range. The Zn ( II ) complex (4) was found to have a very high singlet oxygen quantum yield (ΦΔ = 0.78) in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and a reasonably large triplet state quantum yield (ΦT = 0.82). The photophysical and photochemical properties clearly demonstrate that these compounds could prove useful in singlet oxygen applications such as photodynamic therapy (PDT). DFT and TD-DFT calculations were used to assess the impact of the positional isomerism of the 2-benzoyl-4-chlorophenoxy substituents on the electronic structures and optical spectroscopy.

Microsphere of rare earth free phosphor,Zn3V2O8, with broadband yellowish white emission was synthesized by combustion route and compared with the hydrothermal, sol-gel, and solid state reaction methods. The phosphor samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. UV-visible absorption and photoluminescence (PL) emission and excitation spectra were investigated for these phosphors.Zn3V2O8phosphor containing 10 mol% of H3BO3flux exhibited enhanced PL emission showing broadband from 450 nm to 750 nm. Effect of stoichiometry of Zn and V on the host lattice and its effect on the PL emission spectra were studied. Series of Mg3V2O8,Ca3V2O8, and Sr3V2O8phosphors were also synthesized and compared to theZn3V2O8phosphor in terms of PL emission and internal quantum yield, and it was found thatZn3V2O8is the most efficient phosphor among the other phosphors studied with quantum yield of 60%. The visible light irradiated photocatalytic activity of these phosphors was investigated and it was found that the hydrothermalZn3V2O8exhibited enhanced activity.

Limiting Value

The photochemical insertion reaction of SnCl2 into the metal–metal bond of [P(n-C4H9)3Co(CO)3]2 has been studied in THF at 23.0 °C at the irradiating wavelengths 365 nm, 436 nm, and 546 nm. At 365 nm, the quantum yield for the reaction increases with increasing concentration of SnCl2 and approaches a limiting value of 1.0. At 436 nm, however, the quantum yield increases above 1.0 and at 546 nm, quantum yields as high as 6 were measured. The uv–visible absorption spectrum of [P(n-C4H9)3Co(CO)3]2 shows an intense band at 372 nm and a broad shoulder at about 440 nm. A simple mechanism is proposed to operate on irradiation at 365 nm due to absorption by the intense band, but a more complicated chain mechanism is suggested to operate at 546 nm as a result of absorption by the lower energy shoulder band. It appears that both mechanisms operate on irradiation at 436 nm due to the overlap of the two absorption bands at this wavelength.

Optic Probe

Surface-enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) fiber probe provides abundant interaction area between light and materials, permits detection within limited space and is especially useful for remote or in situ detection. A silver decorated SERS fiber optic probe was prepared by hydrothermal method. This method manages to accomplish the growth of silver nanoparticles and its adherence on fiber optic tip within one step, simplifying the synthetic procedure. The effects of reaction time on phase composition, surface plasmon resonance property and morphology were investigated by X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), ultraviolet-visible absorption spectrum (UV-VIS absorption spectrum) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results showed that when reaction time is prolonged from 4–8 hours at 180 °C, crystals size and size distribution of silver nanoparticles increase. Furthermore, the morphology, crystal size and distribution density of silver nanoparticles evolve along with reaction time. A growth mechanism based on two factors, equilibrium between nucleation and growth, and the existence of PVP, is hypothesized. The SERS fiber probe can detect rhodamin 6G (R6G) at the concentration of 10−6 M. This SERS fiber probe exhibits promising potential in organic dye and pesticide residue detection.

AbstractWe present a systematic numerical analysis of the quantum yield of an electric dipole coupled to a plasmonic nanoparticle. We observe that the yield is highly dependent on the distance between the electric dipole and the nanoparticle, the size and permittivity of the nanoparticle, and the wavelength of the incident radiation. Our results indicate that enhancement of the quantum yield is only possible for electric dipoles coupled to a nanoparticle with a radius of 20 nm or larger. As the size of the nanoparticle is increased, emission enhancement occurs at wavelengths dependent on the coupling distance.

<p>We describe the growth and characterization of highly fluorescing, near-infrared-emitting nanoclusters made of bimetallic Au<sub>25-x</sub>Ag<sub>x</sub> cores, prepared using various monothiol-appended hydrophobic and hydrophilic ligands. The reaction uses well-defined triphenylphosphine-protected Au<sub>11</sub> clusters (as precursors), which are reacted with Ag(I)-thiolate complexes. The prepared nanoclusters are small (diameter < 2nm, as characterized by TEM) with emission peak at 760 nm and long lifetime (~12 µs). The quantum yield measured for these materials was 0.3 - 0.4 depending on the ligand. XPS measurements show the presence of both metal atoms in the core, with measured binding energies that agree with reported values for nanocluster materials. The NIR emission combined with high quantum yield, small size and ease of surface functionalization afforded by the coating, make these materials suitable to implement investigations that address fundamental questions and potentially useful for biological sensing and imaging applications.<br></p>
