Synthesis and Characterization of CdTe Quantum Dots Capped by N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine

Article Preview

Abstract:

The highly luminescent cadmium telluride quantum dots (CdTe QDs) have been synthesized by using N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) as stabilizer in aqueous solution. Experiments indicate that the QDs nanocrystals could grow larger as the extension of reaction time, causing the red shift of emission spectra. The typical product was analyzed by fluorescence spectroscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The morphological and structural characterization confirmed the formation of monodisperse CdTe QDs with several nanometers in size.
