Abstract: | Employing a biomimic method using polysaccharide as template, luminescent lanthanide ions doped CdS and ZnS quantum dots (QDs) were prepared. According to the results of TEM and absorbance, nanocrystals with an average size of 6 nm were formed under mild condition without any toxic and expensive agent applied. Differentiating from the un-doped CdS and ZnS QDs prepared in polysaccharide template, the lanthanide doped QDs exhibited obvious dopant emission in their photoluminescence spectrum. It was also found that the dopant PL became more prominent with increasing lanthanide doping concentration, while the highest PL intensity was obtained at a doping level of 1% for both of CdS and ZnS QDs. When different lanthanide ions were introduced into the CdS QDs in polysaccharide template, varied emission wavelength were able to be obtained. This study provides an easy, mild and environmental friendly alternative method to prepare doped quantum dots. In addition, the bioactivity and processabilities endowed by the polysaccharide template may expand the applications potential of this type of optical materials. |
