Abstract This work focuses on the synthesis of novel modified core-shell CdTe/CdS quantum dots (QDs) and develops as a fluorescence sensor for glucose determination. The (E)-2,2'-(4,4'-dioxo-2,2'-dithioxo-2H,2'H-[5,5'-bithiazolylidene]-3,3'(4H,4'H)-diyl)bis(3- mercaptopropanoic acid) (DTM) as a new derivative of thiazolidine was synthesized and characterized and used to surface-modification of CdTe/CdS QDs. DTM-capped CdTe/CdS QDs used to immobilization of glucose oxidase (GOD). The intensity fluorescence emission of the CdSe/CdS-DTM/GOD is highly sensitive to the concentration of H2O2 as a byproduct of the catalytic oxidation of glucose. The experimental results showed that the quenched fluorescence was proportional to the glucose concentration within the range of 10 nM − 0.32 µM under optimized experimental conditions. The limit of detection of this system was found to be 4.3 nM. Compared with most of the existing methods, this newly developed system possesses many advantages, including simplicity, low cost, and good sensitivity.

We report the synthesis and characterization of a low-cost high-quality CdS quantum dots (QDs).The synthesis was performed in aqueous system. The aqueous CdS colloidal solution was prepared using thioglycollic acid as a capping agent. Zetasizer Nano ZS (Malvern, UK) was employed to characterize the partical size of CdS QDs. The UV-vis and photoluminescence (PL) spectra of samples were systematically characterized (the full width at half maximum was 38 nm). The maximum photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield (QY) was as high as 68.5 %. The fluorescence intensity was enhanced by copper (II). The relative fluorescence intensity was linear to copper (II) concentration over the range 4.0 ×10-6 - 2.8×10-5 g mL-1. The regression equation was ΔIF= 59.07+ 90.57c (c / μg mL-1). The highly monodispersed CdS QDs could be used in many fields.

The optical properties and photovoltaic characterization of CdS quantum dots sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs) were studied. CdS QDs were prepared by the chemical solution deposition (CD) technique. Photoacoustic spectroscopy (PA) was employed to study the optical properties of the prepared samples. The sizes of the CdS QDs were estimated from transmission electron microscope (TEM) micrographs gives radii ranged from 1.57 to 1.92 nm. The current density-voltage (J-V) characteristic curves of the assembled QDSSCs were measured. Fluorine doped Tin Oxide (FTO) substrates were coated with 20 nm-diameter TiO2nanoparticles (NPs). Presynthesized colloidal CdS quantum dots of different particles size were deposited on the TiO2-coated substrates using direct adsorption (DA) method. The FTO counter electrodes were coated with platinum, while the electroelectrolyte containingI-/I-3redox species was sandwiched between the two electrodes. The short current density (Jsc) and efficiency (η) increases as the particle size increases. The values ofJscincreases linearly with increasing the intensities of the sun light which indicates the greater sensitivity of the assembled cells.

Fluorescent semiconductor nanocrystals have been widely used as fluorescent materials in chemical sensors, biotechnology, medical diagnostics, biological imaging and many other fields. Compared to the conventional organic fluorophores, the inorganic quantum dots (QDs) have many advantages, including broad absorption spectra, narrow emission spectra, good photostability and long fluorescent lifetime after excitation. Here, the high quality CdS QDs were synthesized directly from sulfur and CdO using the paraffin liquid as solvent and the oleic acid as the reacting media. The synthesized CdS QDs with a zinc blende (cubic) crystal structure were proved by X-ray diffraction. HRTEM observation revealed that the CdS QDs were uniform and the average grain size was about 4 nm. The optical properties of the CdS QDs were characterized by using photoluminescence (PL) spectrophotometer and Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) absorption spectrophotometer. The formation mechanism of CdS QDs in the paraffin liquid and oleic acid system was proposed.

Quantum dots (QDs) have a great potential to be applied as a biosensor to detect cancer cells because of their properties such as high photoluminescence, photo stability, narrow peak of luminescence, etc. However, cadmium sulphide (CdS) quantum dots are toxic and hydrophobic, making it impossible to be applied into biomaterials. A template is needed to make CdS QDs nontoxic and hydrophilic. The optical properties of these QDs are needed to be protected. To achieve this purpose, the template for CdS QDs has been designed by capping CdS QDs with apo-ferritin shells before aligning them onto cylindrical perpendicular PS-b-P2VP template, with the aim of locating CdS QDs appropriately in sequence. A host-guest system can be developed.
