An eco-friendly and efficient one-step approach for the synthesis of carbon quantum dots (CDs) that encapsulated molecularly imprinted fluorescence quenching particles (MIFQP) and their application for the determination of zearalenone (ZEA) in a cereal sample are described in this study. CDs with high luminescence were first synthesized, and then encapsulated in the silica-based matrix through a non-hydrolytic sol-gel process. The resulting ZEA-imprinted particles exhibited not only an excellent specific molecular recognition of ZEA, but also good photostability and obvious template binding-induced fluorescence quenching. Under the optimized conditions, the fluorescence intensity of MIFQP was inversely proportional to the concentration of ZEA. By validation, the detection range of these fluorescence quenching materials for ZEA was between 0.02 and 1.0 mg L−1, and the detection limit was 0.02 mg L−1 (S/N = 3). Finally, the MIFQP sensor was successfully applied for ZEA determination in corn with recoveries from 78% to 105% and the relative standard deviation (RSD %) was lower than 20%, which suggests its potential in actual applications.

Monodispersed nanometer-sized particles proved to be very important and advantageous in many industrial applications. One of the notable groups of these particles is silica (SiO2) nanoparticles which are widely utilized in developing numerous products such as electrical and thermal insulators, humidity sensors, varnish, etc. Since the quality of some of these products depends highly on the purity and size distribution of the silica particles, it is necessary to produce silica nanoparticles of narrow size distribution and very high purity. In this research silica nanoparticles, with a relatively narrow size distribution, have been synthesized via the hydrolysis reaction of tetraethoxisilane (TEOS) in the solution of deionized water and ethanol (C2H5OH), and in the presence of ammonia (NH3) as a catalyst. The nature, morphology and the size of the silica particles has been studied using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction. Results indicate that the morphology, structure and the diameter of silica particles depend strongly on the molar ratios of the reactants.

Multiferroic BiFeO3 powders were synthesized by two methods: sol-gel process and hydrothermal method. The synthesized powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (SEM) and particle size distribution analysis. The results obtained by XRD, which is consistent with 86-1518 JCPDS card, show that powders prepared by hydrothermal method are composed of the single phase with the trigonal structure (perovskite-type). It can be found by particle size distribution analysis that the particle size of the samples prepared by sol-gel process is finer and more uniform than that of the samples synthesized by the hydrothermal method. The SEM images of samples depicts that the synthesized BiFeO3 powders are united and the average grain size of hydrothermal processed samples is significantly large as compared to the sol-gel derived sample.

Compared with conventional semiconductor quantum dots, hybrid SiO2 coated CdTe QDs exhibited high stability, long fluorescent lifetime, high photoluminescence quantum yields, and well biocompatibility. In this paper, CdTe QDs with tunable PL from green to red emitting were prepared by an aqueous synthesis. A sol–gel process resulted in CdTe QDs coated with a hybrid SiO2 shell contained CdS-like clusters to obtain red-shifted PL spectra, increased PL efficiency and high stability. The clusters were formed by the reaction of Cd2+ and S2− ions generated via the decomposition of thioglycolic acid. The clusters around CdTe cores created a core–shell structure which is very similar with traditional semiconductor core–shell QDs. After being coated with a hybrid SiO2 shell, the PL of green-emitting naked CdTe QDs was red-shifted largely (~30 nm) while the PL of yellowemitting CdTe QDs revealed a small red-shifted (~20 nm). Furthermore, The PL of red-emitting naked CdTe QDs was red-shifted much small (less than 10 nm). This phenomenon is ascribed to the change of band gap of CdTe cores with sizes. The red-shift of PL spectra is attributed to the CdS-like clusters around the core rather than the thickness of the hybrid SiO2 shell.
