Influence of Sn2+ ion on structural, morphological and optical characteristics of Cd0.9a??xZn0.1SnxS (0a??a?¤a??xa??a?¤a??0.06) quantum dots
摘要： Water-soluble Cd0.9-xZn0.1SnxS (0 B x B 0.06) quantum dots were prepared by dual doping of Sn and Zn via chemical co-precipitation technique. XRD results con?rmed the cubic structure of CdS crystallites without generating any secondary peaks due to doping. TEM analysis revealed the structural information of the Sn-doped CdS host. The Sn substitution enhanced the particle size lightly. The surface morphological study revealed that the agglomeration of the samples was decreased. From UV–visible optical study, it was observed that the optical transmittance was suppressed owing to Sn substitution. Absorption peaks were blueshifted, and band gap values were widened due to incorporation of Sn. The strong PL emission peaks were received at 400 nm-1 and weak peaks near 490 nm-1. The peaks originated near the UV region were due to sulfur vacancies on the surface. EDX and FTIR studies con?rmed the presence of Sn in the prepared samples. Since the possibility of tailoring the band gap toward a high energy gap, these materials composition may be selected for optoelectronic device fabrication.

A facile in situ growth of CdS quantum dots on covalent triazine-based frameworks for photocatalytic H2 production
摘要： CdS quantum dots (QDs) are excellent visible-light-driven photocatalysts due to their unique small size (<10 nm), suitable band energy structure, and short charge transportation length. Unfortunately, the easy aggregation of CdS QDs to form larger particles results in a higher recombination rate for photoinduced electron-hole pairs, which deteriorates the photocatalytic activity. Here, we report in situ growth of CdS QDs with high dispersion and stability on covalent triazine-based frameworks (CTFs) via a facile photoreduction method. The photocatalytic H2 evolution activity of CdS QD-loaded CTFs is effectively enhanced to approximately 55 and 4 times than that of pristine CTFs and bulk CdS, respectively. This enhanced photocatalytic performance is mainly ascribed to the higher separation rate of photogenerated carriers resulting from synergistic QD-on-sheet interactions between CdS QDs and CTFs. This work develops an efficient one-pot strategy to prepare metal-sulfide QDs with high dispersion and underlines the potential of utilizing CTFs as a suitable platform to develop efficient photocatalytic systems.

Preparing CdS QDs in sodium alginate gel: realizing water-solubility and stimuli-responsiveness of QDs in an integrative way
摘要： Quantum dots (QDs) were of great interest due to the excellent fluorescence property and have been widely studied. Comparing with the typical organometallic synthetic routes and hydrothermal method that were usually carried out under high temperature, colloidal template could be used for preparing QDs in mild conditions and have gained increasing attention. In this prospect, hydrogel was an ideal colloidal template for preparation of QDs in aqueous medium while the related study for in-situ preparation of QDs in gel and the consequent functionalization of QDs was in demand. In this paper, we proposed a two-step method to prepare CdS QDs in sodium alginate (SA) gel which showed effective constraint in uniform size distribution of QDs. Without extra ligands introduction, the prepared CdS-SA QDs showed responsiveness to pH and detectability to Fe3+ which provide a simplified way for functionalization of QDs. The CdS-SA QDs showed good biocompatibility and stability in a certain concentration which indicated the application prospect of the CdS-SA QDs in fields of biological labeling and environmental sensor.

Cadmium sulfide quantum dots impact Arabidopsis thaliana physiology and morphology
摘要： The differential mechanisms of CdS QDs (Quantum Dots) and Cd ion toxicity to Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh were investigated. Plants were exposed to 40 and 60 mg L-1 for CdS QDs and 76.9 and 115.2 mg L-1 CdSO4·7H2O and toxicity was evaluated at 5, 20, 35 (T5, T20, T35) days after exposure. Oxidative stress upon exposure was evaluated by biochemical essays targeting non-enzymatic oxidative stress physiological parameters, including respiration efficiency, total chlorophylls, carotenoids, ABTS and DPPH radicals reduction, total phenolics, GSH redox state, lipid peroxidation. Total Cd in plants was measured with AAS. Root and leaf morphology and element content were assessed in vivo utilizing low-vacuum Environmental Scanning Electron Microscopy (ESEM) with X-ray microanalysis (EDX). This integrated approach allowed identification of unique nanoscale CdS QDs toxicity to the plants that was distinct from CdSO4 exposure. The analyses highlighted that CdS QDs and Cd ions effects are modulated by the developmental stage of the plant, starting from T20 till T35 the plant development was modulated by the treatments, in particular CdS QDs induced early flowering. Both treatments induced Fe accumulation in roots, but at different intensities, while CdS QDs was associated with Mn increase into plant leaf. CdSO4 elicited higher levels of oxidative stress compared with QDs, especially the former treatment caused more intense respiration damages and reduction in chlorophyll and carotenoids than the latter. The two types of treatments impact differently on root and leaf morphology.

A novel protein binding strategy for energy-transfer-based photoelectrochemical detection of enzymatic activity of botulinum neurotoxin A
摘要： In this work, we propose a novel energy-transfer-based photoelectrochemical (PEC) platform for probing of protein-protein interaction, which associates intimately with zinc-dependent cleavage and substrate specificities in the enzymatic activities of botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT). Specifically, by using substrate protein SNAP-25 as the energy-transfer nanoprobe, an exciton-plasmon interaction (EPI) based strategy between CdS quantum dots (QDs) and Au nanoparticles (NPs) in a PEC system is constructed with the photocurrent declining. Interestingly, the EPI effect is then interrupted by the target botulinum neurotoxin serotype A light chain (BoNT-LCA) special cleavage of the probe SNAP-25, leading to the photocurrent recovery. Therefore, the enzymatic activity of BoNT-LCA could be sensitively detected with a detection limit of 1 pg/mL. Unlike conventional DNA-programable assembly, a protein probe is used to bridge the excitons and plasmons in this work, which provides a new route for the investigation of the EPI-based bioassay.

Multi-mode photocatalytic performances of CdS QDs modified CdIn2S4/CdWO4 nanocomposites with high electron transfer ability
摘要： In general, quantum dots have the property of generating a plurality of charge carriers using hot electrons or using a single high-energy photon to improve the photocatalytic properties of the material. In this paper, CdS QDs@CdIn2S4/CdWO4 modified by CdS QDs was synthesized by the microwave-assisted hydrothermal method, and its composition, crystal structure, morphology, and surface physicochemical properties were well characterized. Electron microscopy results showed that CdS QDs@CdIn2S4/CdWO4 composite material exhibited a sheet structure with a length of ca. 350 nm and a width of ca. 50 nm, and CdS QDs uniformly distributes with a diameter of about 5 nm on the sheet structure. UV-visible diffuse reflectance tests showed that the combination of CdS QDs and CdIn2S4 can extend the light absorption range of CdWO4 to the visible region. Photoluminescence spectroscopy confirmed that CdS QDs had efficient electron transport capabilities. The multi-mode photocatalytic activity of CdS QDs@CdIn2S4/CdWO4 showed an excellent ability to degrade organic pollutants. Under the conditions of no co-catalyst and Na2S-Na2SO3 as the sacrificial agent, the hydrogen production of CdS QDs@CdIn2S4/CdWO4 can reach 221.3 μmol g?1 when exposed to visible light (λ > 420 nm) for 8 h.

Quantum confinement chemistry of CdS QDs plus hot electron of Au over TiO2 nanowire protruding to be encouraging photocatalyst towards nitrophenol conversion and ciprofloxacin degradation
摘要： Solar light harvesting science is ascertained to be the topmost effective green technique in alleviating environmental pollutants. In this respect, we report a visible light active TiO2/Au/CdS QDs nanocomposite which manifested upgraded photocatalytic activity towards the transformation of 2-nitrophenol, 4-nitrophenol, and degradation of ciprofloxacin. Here, TiO2 nanowire is synthesized by a molten flux method with high product yield and crystallinity with organized dimensions. Au nanoparticles are successfully integrated in between TiO2-CdS composite by Reverse Turkevich method. The prepared composites are meticulously characterized by different physical and optoelectronic techniques to inspect the crystal structure, phase purity, optical properties, nanostructured morphology and electrochemical properties. The plasmonic direct hot electron transfer (DET) mechanism is confirmed from UV-Vis DRS spectra. The prepared composite produces 2.98 mA/cm2 of current density under light irradiation. A Longer lifetime of electrons is found from Bode phase plot i.e. 97.4 μs for TiO2/1%Au/3%CdS QDs owing to the integrative cooperation effect of high aspect ratio of TiO2 nanowire, quantum size effect of CdS and the direct hot electron transfer by Au nanoparticle.

Fabrication of highly efficient and hierarchical CdS QDs/CQDs/H-TiO2 ternary heterojunction: Surpassable photocatalysis under sun-like illumination
摘要： Highly efficient and durable visible-light utilized nanocomposites have a vital role in environmental pollutants remediation. Hence, in this study, we have fabricated CdS QDs co-sensitized CQDs/H-TiO2 (Hollow Titania) ternary heterostructures (CdS QDs/CQDs/H-TiO2) in a facile region-selective deposition route. The as-fabricated nanocomposites were evidently characterized by physicochemical techniques. CdS QDs were uniformly distributed on the smooth surface of hierarchical CQDs/H-TiO2 heterojunction. The as-fabricated CdS QDs/CQDs/H-TiO2 nanocomposite has high-performances for efficient degradation efficacy of phenol, MB and RhB which exhibited enhanced degradation activities with rate constants (k) of 0.03, 0.051 and 0.045 min-1, respectively. All these superior photocatalytic activities obviously attributed to the effect of calcination temperature, enhanced photocurrent, minimized recombination of photo-induced charges in the photocatalysis and optimum content of CdS QDs have the distinct basis for the close interfacial connection developing. In addition, evidenced on the arguable results of electron spin resonance and radical-trapping experiments, the primary reactive-oxygen species and a plausible reaction-mechanism for organic pollutants degradation over CdS QDs/CQDs/H-TiO2 were proposed. This creative work is strategically considered an important step to potentially enhance the utilization of TiO2 in various fields as visible light-induced heterojunction.
