在Ag2Se量子点表面生长宽禁带无机壳层以消除表面缺陷是提高其光致发光性能的有效方法. 与Ag2Se相比, Ag2S带隙更宽, 晶格常数相似, 是Ag2Se量子点的理想壳层. 然而, 室温下精确制备Ag2Se@Ag2S核壳量子点仍然是一个挑战. 分别采用胶体原子层沉积(c-ALD)法和一锅水相法在室温下合成了油溶性和水溶性的Ag2Se@Ag2S核壳量子点, 并通过调控配体链长优化了水溶性Ag2Se@Ag2S核壳量子点近红外荧光性能. 在c-ALD法中, 以1-十二硫醇(DDT)包裹的Ag2Se量子点作为种子, 以油胺(OAM)配位的Ag(OAM-Ag)和Na2S作为壳层前驱体, 制备的油溶性Ag2Se@Ag2S核壳结构量子点暂无荧光发射, 随后尝试通过高温退火但仍无法恢复其荧光发射能力. 接着, 在一锅水相法中, 以巯基羧酸(HS-(CH2)x-COOH)配位的水溶性Ag2Se量子点为种子, 巯基羧酸配位的Ag+和Na2S作为壳层前驱体, 成功制备出在1270 nm处具有近红外荧光增强的水溶性Ag2Se@Ag2S核壳量子点. 通过改变直链配体巯基羧酸的链长度(x=2, 5, 10, 13), 发现以中等链长(x=10)的11-巯基十一酸(MUA)为配体的水溶性Ag2Se@Ag2S核壳量子点具有最强的荧光发射. 本文为Ag2Se@Ag2S核壳量子点制备提供了参考.

Ag2Se quantum dots (QDs) is a narrow band-gap (ca. 0.15 eV) nanomaterial, which exhibits great potential in near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence emission. However, the bad photoluminescence (PL) performance caused by defects in QDs has limited its application greatly. It is an effective way to improve the photoluminescence performance of Ag2Se QDs by growing a wide band gap inorganic shell to eliminate surface defects. For Ag2Se QDs, Ag2S is an ideal shell due to its wider bandgap (ca. 1 eV) and similar lattice constants (0.488 nm for cubic Ag2S and 0.499 nm for cubic Ag2Se). However, the precise preparation of Ag2Se@Ag2S core-shell QDs at room temperature remains a challenge. In this study, oil-soluble and water-soluble Ag2Se@Ag2S core-shell QDs were synthesized by colloidal atomic layer deposition (c-ALD) and one-pot aqueous phase synthesis at room temperature, respectively. The NIR fluorescence properties of water-soluble Ag2Se@Ag2S core-shell QDs were optimized by regulating ligand chain length. In c-ALD, the oil-soluble Ag2Se@Ag2S core-shell QDs were prepared with 1-dodecanethiol (DDT) coated Ag2Se QDs as seeds, oleamine (OAM) coordinated Ag (OAM-Ag) and Na2S as shell precursors, the resultant product showed no fluorescence emission. After high temperature annealing, the fluorescence emission of this oil-soluble Ag2Se@Ag2S core-shell QDs could not be recovered. Subsequently, water-soluble Ag2Se@Ag2S core-shell QDs with enhanced NIR fluorescence emission at 1270 nm were prepared by using mercaptocarboxylic (HS-(CH2)x-COOH) coordinated Ag2Se QDs as seeds, (HS-(CH2)x-COOH) coordinated Ag and Na2S as shell precursors in one-pot water phase synthesis. By changing the chain length (x=2, 5, 10, 13) of HS-(CH2)x -COOH ligand, it is found that the water-soluble Ag2Se@Ag2S core-shell QDs which took medium chain length (x=10) 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (MUA) as the ligand exhibited the strongest fluorescence emission. This work provides a reference for the preparation of Ag2Se@Ag2S core-shell QDs at room temperature.
