The Influence of Carboxyl Groups on the Photoluminescence of Mercaptocarboxylic Acid-Stabilized CdTe Nanoparticles

Zhang, Hao, Zhou, Zhen, Yang, Bai, Gao, Mingyuan·2003·The Journal of Physical Chemistry B

Abstract

The CdTe nanoparticles were prepared in aqueous solution using different mercaptocarboxylic acids such as 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) and thioglycolic acid (TGA) as stabilizing agents following the synthetic route described in ref 9. The pH-dependent photoluminescence (PL) of MPA- and TGA-stabilized CdTe nanoparticles was systematically investigated before and after addition of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) into the CdTe solutions. Experimental results reveal that lowering the pH can increase the PL efficiency of both MPA- and TGA-stabilized CdTe. Moreover, the PL of the CdTe can further be increased in the presence of PAA in low pH range. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was employed to investigate the interaction between the carboxyl groups from PAA and CdTe nanoparticles which were assembled in polymer matrix by a layer-by-layer self-assembly method to exclude interference from other species in CdTe solutions. XPS results demonstrate that the S/Te ratio of CdTe particles decreases after the addition of PAA, which strongly suggests that PAA can strongly interact with CdTe nanoparticles via the coordination between carboxyl groups and cadmium ions on the particle surface. As a result, the PL efficiency of the mercaptocarboxylic acid-stabilized CdTe nanoparticles is enhanced in acidic range.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
