Oscillating Fluorescence in an Unstable Colloidal Dispersion of CdSe/ZnS Core/Shell Quantum Dots

Abstract: Fluorescence oscillation is observed in an ensemble of colloidal CdSe/ZnS core/shell quantum dots (QDs) dispersed in nonpolar solvent under continuous irradiation. The QDs dispersed in toluene gradually aggregate and change their fluorescence intensity, even in the dark. During the aggregation, the QD/toluene suspension is unstable, that is, overdispersed. The fluorescence oscillation is found only in this unstable state before the system reaches steady state. In addition, the aggregation rate is promoted by i… Show more

“…For example, Komoto et al found that CdSe/ZnS QDs capped with the tri-n-octylphosphine oxide (TOPO) ligand are more fluorescent in octane than in toluene. [41] They assigned this to the higher solubility of TOPO in toluene, which reduces the colloid stability and causes a decrease in the photoluminiscence. [41] Bullen and Mulvaney also found a pattern in quantum yields of TOPO/tri-n-octylphosphine (TOP)-capped QDs in different solvents similar to the trends described by us.…”

[41] Bullen and Mulvaney also found a pattern in quantum yields of TOPO/tri-n-octylphosphine (TOP)-capped QDs in different solvents similar to the trends described by us. [40] They stated that the changes in fluorescence in different solvents may be primarily caused by altering the degree of adsorption of passivating ligands on the nanocrystal surface.…”

“…Форми-рование агрегатов КТ приводит к ухудшению фотоста-бильности гибридных наноструктур, которая является ключевым параметром их функциональности [21]. Кроме того, велика вероятность возникновения дополнитель-ных каналов безызлучательной релаксации электронного возбуждения КТ, связанных с их взаимодействием в аг-регатах [22]. Поэтому в настоящей работе для формиро-вания наноструктур использовалась модифицированная технология Ленгмюра-Блоджетт.…”

“…However, it suffers from incomplete surface coverage, although a study on nearly quantitative exchange has been reported recently [103]. As a consequence, the fluorescence emission is quenched due to the aggregations of QDs [110], or oscillates due to adsorption and desorption of surface ligand [111]. Recently, the bifunctional ligand p-bromobenzyl-di-octylphosphine oxide (DOPO-Br) was synthesized [112].…”
