以亚碲酸钠为碲源,硼氢化钠为还原剂,一步合成了巯基丁二酸(MSA)稳定的CdTe量子点.研究了反应液pH值、镉与碲的摩尔比及镉与巯基丁二酸的摩尔比等实验条件对CdTe量子点体系荧光量子产率的影响,并用荧光光谱、X射线粉末衍射及透射电子显微镜等对其进行了表征.结果表明,CdTe量子点具有闪锌矿结构,形貌呈球状;在pH=10.5,n(Cd^2+)∶n(Te^2-)∶n(MSA)=1∶0.05∶1.4的条件下,制备的各种发光颜色的量子点都具有较高的荧光量子产率,最高值可达73.3%.
A novel technology was developed for the synthesis of mercaptosuccinic acid(MSA)-capped CdTe quantum dots(QDs) when sodium tellurite worked as a tellurium source and sodium borohydride acted as a reductant.The influences of various experimental variables,including pH value,Cd/Te and Cd/MSA molar ratios,on the photoluminescence(PL) quantum yield(QY) of the prepared CdTe QDs were systematically investigated.The obtained QDs were characterized by photoluminescence spectroscopy,X-ray powder diffraction(XRD) and transmission electron microscopy(TEM).The results show that the CdTe QDs are of zinc-blended crystal structure in a sphere-like shape;various luminescent CdTe QDs with high emission efficiency(maximum quantum yield of 73.3%) can be prepared at pH=10.5 and n(Cd^2+)∶ n(Te^2-)∶ n(MSA)=1∶ 0.05∶ 1.4.
