We report on an aqueous synthesis of cadmium telluride (CdTe) nanocrystals by using dithiol-functionalized ionic liquids (dTFILs). The dTFILs were designed to have dithiol and vinylimidazolium functional groups and used as a ligand molecule of CdTe quantum dot (QD) to utilize the bidendate chelate interaction afforded by the dithiol groups of dTFILs. The photoluminescence quantum yield of dTFIL-capped CdTe QDs reached up to ~40%, and their luminescent property was maintained for 8 weeks, suggesting an improved stability in water phase. This approach will provide a new synthetic route to the water soluble QDs.

Water soluble high quality CdTe nanocrystals (NCs) with mercaptosuccinic acid (MSA) as stabilizer are prepared by refluxing and hydrothermal synthesis in this paper. The MSA stabilizer which comprises both thioglycolic acid (TGA)-like and 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MPA)-like moieties can accelerate the whole growth process of CdTe NCs comparing with TGA-like or MPA-like stabilizer. It takes only 5 min and 2 hours to obtain green emitting (luminescence maximum at 526 nm) and red emitting (luminescence maximum at ∼650 nm) from CdTe NCs, respectively. In this study, the influences of the ratios of precursors and temperature on CdTe NCs synthesis were studied in detail, and the stable CdTe NCs with high photoluminescence quantum yield and narrow size distribution can be obtained under optimal condition by both routes. The luminescence quantum yield of the green-yellow emitting CdTe NCs obtained in this study can reach 75.2%.

Abstract Cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry were used to investigate the electrochemical behavior of uric acid (UA) at a CdTe quantum dot (QD) modified the glassy carbon electrode (GCE). CdTe QDs, as new semiconductor nanocrystals, can greatly improve the peak current of UA. The anodic peak current of UA was linear with its concentration between 1.0 × 10–6 and 4.0 × 10–4 M in 0.1 M pH 5.0 phosphate buffer solution. The LOD for UA at the CdTe electrode (1.0 × 10–7 M) was superior to that of the GCE. In addition, we also determined the effects of scan rate, pH, and interferences of UA for the voltammetric behavior and detection. The results indicated that modified electrode possessed excellent reproducibility and stability. Finally, a new and efficient electrochemical sensor for detecting UA was developed.
