Sulfur doped carbon nitride quantum dots with efficient fluorescent property and their application for bioimaging
摘要： Heteroatom doping can drastically alter electronic characteristics of carbon nitride quantum dots, thus resulting in unusual properties and related applications. Herein, we used sulfur as the doping element and investigated the influence of doping on the electronic distribution of carbon nitride and the corresponding fluorescent property. A simple synthetic strategy was applied to prepare sulfur-doped carbon nitride (S-g-C3N4) quantum dots through ultrasonic treatment of bulk S-g-C3N4. Characterization results demonstrated that the prepared S-g-C3N4 quantum dots with an average size of 2.0 nm were successfully prepared. Fluorescent properties indicated that S-g-C3N4 quantum dots have an emission peak at 460 nm and cover the emission spectra region up to 550 nm. Furthermore, the fluorescent intensity is greatly increased due to the sonication of bulk S-g-C3N4 into quantum dots. As a result, S-g-C3N4 quantum dots not only show a blue cell imaging, but have a bright green color. Therefore, S-g-C3N4 quantum dot is a promising candidate for bioimaging benefiting from the efficient fluorescent property, good biocompatibility, and low toxicity.

Synthesis of ZnxCd1-xSe@ZnO Hollow Spheres in Different Sizes for Quantum Dots Sensitized Solar Cells Application
摘要： ZnxCd1-xSe@ZnO hollow spheres (HS) were successfully fabricated for application in quantum dot sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs) based on ZnO HS through the ion-exchange process. The sizes of the ZnxCd1-xSe@ZnO HS could be tuned from ~300 nm to ~800 nm using ZnO HS pre-synthesized by different sizes of carbonaceous spheres as templates. The photovoltaic performance of QDSSCs, especially the short-circuit current density (Jsc), experienced an obvious change when different sizes of ZnxCd1-xSe@ZnO HS are employed. The ZnxCd1-xSe@ZnO HS with an average size distribution of ~500 nm presented a better performance than the QDSSCs based on other sizes of ZnxCd1-xSe@ZnO HS. When using the mixture of ZnxCd1-xSe@ZnO HS with different sizes, the power conversion ef?ciency can be further improved. The size effect of the hollow spheres, light scattering, and composition gradient structure ZnxCd1-xSe@ZnO HS are responsible for the enhancement of the photovoltaic performance.

摘要： Employing the short-chain C4H9NH3X (X = Cl, Br, I) compound as the unique capping agent, highly quality CH3NH3PbX3 (X = Cl, Br, I) perovskite quantum dots can be synthesized at room temperature in the open air, which possess high photoluminescence quantum yields and tunable emission in the range of 440-660 nm. Besides, C4H9NH3Br can also improve the morphology of CH3NH3PbBr3 thin films by spin-coating the N, N-dimerthylformamide solution of CH3NH3Br, C4H9NH3Br and PbBr2, making the thin film dense and compact, and improving its optical properties.

Ligand Engineering for Improved All‐Inorganic Perovskite Quantum Dot‐MoS <sub/>2</sub> Monolayer Mixed Dimensional van der Waals Phototransistor
摘要： Combining intriguing physical properties of 2D crystals and intrinsically remarkable optical properties of halide perovskite quantum dots (QDs), the 0D–2D perovskite QD–based mixed dimensional van der Waals heterostructure (MvdWH) is considered as promising for optoelectronic applications. Even though the interfacial electronic structure of MvdWHs is sufficiently engineered to manipulate the charge carrier behavior, the issue of interfacial charge transfer efficiency originating from the residue ligands that are inevitably introduced by the QDs is still prominently remained. From this perspective, for the first time, a solution-processed surface ligand density control strategy is demonstrated to balance the QD surface passivation and the interfacial charge carrier extraction and injection efficiency in the 0D–2D MvdWH system. The accurate adjustment of ligand density outside QDs enables the subsequent modulation on interfacial charge carrier transfer efficiency from the aspect of electronic and optoelectronic properties. Furthermore, such kind of ligand engineering toward MvdWH interface is substantially demonstrated in a photogating mechanism–based phototransistor with an improved photoresponsivity as high as 1.13 × 105 A W?1. These results may push forward the evolution of 0D–2D mixed dimensional van der Waals optoelectronics.

Facile and one-step preparation carbon quantum dots from biomass residue and their applications as efficient surfactants
摘要： Using biomass residue as a source of carbon precursors, a pyrolysis method was used to prepare biomass-derived luminescent Carbon Quantum Dots (CQDs). The prepared CQDs exhibited excellent fluorescence and luminescence properties and fluorescence behaviors of CQDs acquired at different pyrolysis temperatures varied. Importantly, the CQDs showed superior surface activity and the styrene-in-water Pickering emulsion prepared using the CQDs as nano-sized surfactant was highly stable: the higher the pyrolysis temperature the better the stability of the emulsion. In addition, there was no stratification found in the emulsion which was stabilized by the CQD500 (CQDs prepared at 500 (cid:1)C) after holding for 72 hours. This research provided an approach for preparing the surfactants of nano-sized particles in large scale. The CQDs prepared using the proposed methods are expected to have a high number of potential applications.

The Size Effect of TiO2 Hollow Microspheres on Photovoltaic Performance of ZnS/CdS Quantum Dots Sensitized Solar Cell
摘要： Size controllable TiO2 hollow microspheres (HMS) were synthesized by a carbonaceous spheres (CS) template method. Based on TiO2 HMS, the ZnS/CdS quantum dots (QDs) were loaded to form a ZnS/CdS@TiO2 HMS photoanode for quantum dots sensitized solar cell (QDSSC). The size effects of TiO2 HMS on photovoltaic performance were investigated, and showed that TiO2 HMS with sizes ~560 nm produced the best short-circuit current density (Jsc) of 8.02 mA cm?2 and highest power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 1.83%, showing a better photovoltaic performance than any other QDSSCs based on TiO2 HMS with size ~330 nm, ~400 nm, and ~700 nm. The improvement of photovoltaic performance based on ~560 nm TiO2 HMS which can be ascribed to the enhanced light harvesting efficiency caused by multiple light reflection and strong light scattering of TiO2 HMS. The ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectra and incident photo to the current conversion efficiency (IPCE) test results confirmed that the size of TiO2 HMS has an obvious effect on light harvesting efficiency. A further application of ~560 nm TiO2 HMS in ZnS/PbS/CdS QDSSC can improve the PCE to 2.73%, showing that TiO2 HMS has wide applicability in the design of QDSSCs.

Determination of Thiourea by On–Off Fluorescence Using Nitrogen-Doped Graphene Quantum Dots
摘要： A thiourea-detecting fluorescence sensor with Hg2t as a switch was developed using nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (N-GQDs). The surface of N-GQDs had many organic functional groups on which Hg2t was effectively bound and turned off the fluorescence of the N-GQDs. The fluorescence of N-GQDs was turned on by the thiol functional group of thiourea that bound strongly with Hg2t and formed Hg2t/thiourea complexes. After constructing the sensor, the experimental conditions and parameters, such as the pH and Hg2t concentration, were investigated and optimized. Under the optimum conditions, the constructed fluorescence sensor showed high sensitivity to thiourea at concentrations from 0.5 to 14 mM with a low detection limit of 41.7 nM. The sensor also exhibited high specificity, excellent stability, and good reproducibility so that the determination of thiourea in various samples had acceptable values with good recoveries from 99% to 106%. The relative standard deviation was less than 4.1% (n ? 3).

Design of Mn-doped CdxZn1-xSe@ZnO triple-shelled hollow microspheres for quantum dots sensitized solar cells with improved photovoltaic performance
摘要： Mn-CdxZn1-xSe@ZnO multi-shelled (including single-shelled, double-shelled, and triple-shelled) hollow microspheres (HMS) were successfully synthesized for application in quantum dots sensitized solar cell (QDSSC). The influence of shell numbers on photovoltaic performance of QDSSC were investigated. The results showed that larger surface area, repeated light reflection and reinforced light scattering can be achieved with triple-shelled HMS, which can improve light harvesting efficiency. Furthermore, midgap state created by Mn-doping in CdxZn1-xSe will facilitate electrons injection and collection from excited CdxZn1-xSe quantum dots (QDs) to ZnO. The multi-shelled effects and Mn-doping finally improve the short-circuit current (Jsc) of Mn-CdxZn1-xSe@ZnO tripled-shelled HMS solar cell to 20.21 mA cm?2, leading to the power conversion efficiency significantly enhanced to 3.39%.

Electrochemiluminescence sensing platform for ultrasensitive DNA analysis based on resonance energy transfer between graphitic carbon nitride quantum dots and gold nanoparticles
摘要： Electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) of semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) is considered as a powerful technique in the fabrication of biosensor, however, the inherent toxicity of the heavy metal ion containing in QDs limits their further applications. Thus, searching for environment-friendly luminescent nanomaterials with high electrochemiluminescence (ECL) e?ciency is an urgent goal. In this work, a solid-state method under low temperature was adopted to prepare graphitic carbon nitride quantum dots (g-CNQDs). By using coreactant K2S2O8, a strong cathodic ECL signal of g-CNQDs could be observed in phosphate bu?er. A novel ECL resonance energy transfer procedure was constructed between g-CNQDs (emitter) and gold nanoparticles (acceptor). A signal probe was formed by connecting gold nanoparticles at the hairpin DNA (Hai-DNA) terminal. When the signal probe was anchored on g-CNQDs, ECL resonance energy transfer occurred due to the ECL quenching of gold nanoparticles to g-CNQDs. This phenomenon decreased the ECL signal. In the presence of target DNA (T-DNA), the looped structure of Hai-DNA could be destroyed by T-DNA, and gold nanoparticles were separated from g-CNQDs. Accordingly, the ECL resonance energy transfer procedure was hindered, and the ECL signal was recovered again. The ECL intensities exhibited linear correlation with the logarithm of T-DNA concentration from 0.02 fM to 0.1 pM, and the limit of detection was 0.01 fM (3σ). With the developed ECL resonance energy transfer system, good selectivity and high sensitivity were achieved in T-DNA detection.

Aggregation-induced phosphorescence quenching method for the detection of picric acid based on melamine-passivated Mn-doped ZnS quantum dots
摘要： Melamine (MA)-passivated Mn-doped ZnS quantum dots (QDs) were synthesized by a hydrothermal method. The MA-passivated QDs can form a charge-transfer complex with picric acid (PA) at 80 °C, thereby quenching the phosphorescence of the QDs. A sensitive method for detecting PA was established based on this principle of phosphorescence quenching. When the PA concentration ranged from 2.0–180 ng mL–1, the concentration was linearly related to the quenching intensity of the QDs, with a detection limit of 1.4 ng mL–1. When applied to detect PA in environmental water samples, the proposed method showed superior analytical performance compared with other PA analysis methods. Furthermore, we verified the static quenching mechanism by density functional theory. MA on the surface of QDs and PA formed a stable structure with a binding energy of 12.43 eV.
