Given the imperative of monitoring organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) residues in the ecosystem, here a novel, facile and sensitive fluorescence sensor is presented for the rapid detection of dimethoate. In this work, surface molecularly imprinted polymer (SMIP) and microfluidic technology had been introduced to enhance the selectivity and portability of the described methodology. Oil-soluble CdSe quantum dots (QDs) synthesized in a green way were used as fluorescent material for the selective detection of dimethoate on the basis of static quenching and photoinduced electron transfer mechanism. Among many kinds of paper materials, glass fiber paper was used as the novel substrate of paper chip due to low pristine fluorescence and better performance when combining CdSe QDs. In the process of molecular imprinting, the interaction between several functional monomers and dimethoate molecule was investigated and simulated theoretically by software to improve the selectivity of the sensor. Consequently, the fabricated novel detection platform could effectively respond to dimethoate in 10 min with the concentration range of 0.45–80 μmol/L and detection limit of 0.13 μmol/L. The recovery in the spiked experiment soybean sample was in an acceptable range (97.6–104.1%) and the accuracy was verified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, which signified the feasibility and potential in food sampling.

We have investigated the effect of water (H2O) cooling and heat treatment on the luminescence efficiency of core CdSe quantum dots (QDs). The photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield of the CdSe QDs was enhanced up to ~85%, and some periodic bright points were observed in wide color ranges during the heat treatment of QDs mixed with H2O. The PL enhancement of QDs could be attributed to the recovery of QDs surface traps by unreacted ligands confined within the hydrophilic H2O molecule containers.

Dependence of photoluminescence (PL) efficiency (ΦPL) of CdSe quantum dots (QDs) on coordinating solvents, precursors, and dispersing solvents was investigated. The ΦPL of CdSe QDs was ∼0.05 when synthesized at 120 °C using the precursors, cadmium acetate (CdAc) and trioctylphosphine selenide (TOPSe) in trioctylphosphine (TOP). The ΦPL was increased from 0.05 to ∼0.1 when coordinating solvents, trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO) and hexadecylamine (HDA), were added to the above reaction mixture. The ΦPL was dramatically increased from ∼0.1 to ∼0.7 when CdAc was replaced by cadmium stearate (CdSt). The ΦPL of CdSe QDs synthesized using cadmium stearate (CdSt)/TOPSe/TOP/TOPO was measured in butanol, chloroform, hexane, and toluene and found that the ΦPL is strong dispersing solvent-dependent. The DFT analysis at b3lyp/lanl2dz level on the interaction of CdSe QDs with chemical environments showed that oxygen-containing molecules interact strongly with CdSe compared to non-oxygen containing molecules and could influence the ΦPL.

An optimized synthesis route was applied for controlling the preparation of CdSe quantum dots (QDs) in an aqueous solution. Some key factors which influencing the properties of CdSe QDs, such as initial pH, ratio of precursor etc, were investigated. The as-prepared products have been characterized by TEM, XPS, XRD, UV-Vis and fluorescence (FL) spectra. The result showed that the high-quality CdSe QDs with 3 nm was obtained. The experiments also conformed that the CdSe QDs with better FL properties were obtained with properly initial pH, 5, suitably [Cd2+] / [SeSO3 2-], range from 1:0.25 to 1:0.75 and the ratio of [Cd2+] / [TGA] is 1:2~1:3.

The optoelectronic properties of quantum dots are strongly controlled by the chemical nature of their surface-passivating ligands. In this work, we present the synthesis, characterization, and surface modification of CdSe quantum dots (QDs) and their application in solar cells. CdSe QDs were capped in oleic acid (OA), 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MPA), and 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (MBA). The QDs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-Vis absorption and emission spectrophotometry, thermogravimetric analyses, and 1H and 13C NMR. From TEM analysis, it has been observed that interparticle distance can be effectively controlled by the presence of different molecular size ligands. From the 1H and 13C NMR, specific types of interactions between the Cd2+ and the ligands have been observed. Although CdSe/OA presented larger interparticle distance as compared to CdSe/MPA and CdSe/MBA, the photocatalytic oxidation of the thiol groups on the surface of the MPA- and MBA-based quantum dots resulted in poor surface stabilization, ultimately resulting in poor power conversion efficiencies which were ca. 70% smaller than that of OA-based solar cell.

CdSe quantum dots (QDs) are valuable tools for deciphering molecular mechanisms in cells. Their conjugation with antibodies offers a unique staining source with optimal characteristics, including increased photostability and narrow emission spectra, allowing for improved multiplexing capabilities using a single excitation source. In combination with pathology models derived from patients, they have great potential to contribute to quantitative molecular profiling and promote personalized medicine. However, the commercial availability of diverse CdSe QDs is still limited and characterization techniques must be performed to these materials or the conjugates developed in the lab to assure a proper function and reproducibility. Furthermore, while there is significant data of QDs experiments in cell lines, the literature with primary human cells is scarce, and QD behavior in these systems may be different. Rigorous characterization data of commercially available QDs and their conjugates with biomolecules of interest is needed in order to establish their potential for target labelling and expand their use among research labs. Here we compare the characterization and labelling performance of different QD conjugates in SH-SY5Y cell line, fibroblasts and immortalized lymphocytes derived from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis patients.

Highly ordered arrays consisting uniform fluorescent cadmium selenide ( CdSe ) quantum dots (QDs) ring or dot structures were obtained by self-assembly of QDs on chemically patterned substrates. In this method, Au substrates with alternating hydrophobic and hydrophilic square patterns are firstly fabricated by microcontact printing, which allows water droplets to condense on the hydrophilic regions to provide two-dimensional template arrays. The CdSe QDs are then assembled at the liquid/liquid interfaces to give uniform micro or nanostructures. The shape and size of the rings and dots can be tailored by controlling the relative evaporation speed of the water and the organic solvents. The obtained nanostructures have ideal topography to avoid substrate-induced fluorescence quenching.
