Tailoring CdTe colloidal quantum dots growth kinetics with Ag and In dopants for dazzling white-light emission
CdTe quantum dots (QDs) were synthesized using an aqueous colloidal method with 3-mercaptopropionic acid (3-MPA) serving as the capping agent. Silver (Ag+) doping accelerates crystal growth and causes a red shift in CdTe QDs, while indium (In3+) doping leads to a slight blue shift due to controlled growth from free chloride ions in InCl3 precursor, in conjunction with the 3-mercaptopropionic acid (3-MPA) capping agent. As the reflux time increases, particle size grows accordingly, leading to a progressive narrowing of the bandgap: from 2.67 to 2.15 eV for CdTe, 2.7 to 2.19 eV for In-doped CdTe (In:CdTe), and 2.37 to 1.74 eV for Ag-doped CdTe (Ag:CdTe). In3+ doping in CdTe QDs introduce a shallow level, while Ag+ doping creates both shallow and deep levels below the conduction band. Emission tuning from deep green to deep red was achieved, effectively addressing the “green gap.” The absorption spectra revealed s- and p-state saturation in CdTe and In:CdTe QDs, whereas Ag:CdTe QDs exhibited additional d-state filling. Both dopants enhanced the optical quality and photoluminescence. A white-light nanocomposite was developed using a blue-emitting organic fluorophore, green-emitting In:CdTe (1 %), and red-emitting Ag:CdTe (5 %) QDs. Optimized mixing produced white light with CIE coordinates (0.33, 0.34), a correlated color temperature (CCT) of 5181 K, and a color rendering index (CRI) of 87 demonstrating strong potential for future white LED and display applications.
期刊介绍:
JPPA publishes the results of fundamental studies on all aspects of chemical phenomena induced by interactions between light and molecules/matter of all kinds.
All systems capable of being described at the molecular or integrated multimolecular level are appropriate for the journal. This includes all molecular chemical species as well as biomolecular, supramolecular, polymer and other macromolecular systems, as well as solid state photochemistry. In addition, the journal publishes studies of semiconductor and other photoactive organic and inorganic materials, photocatalysis (organic, inorganic, supramolecular and superconductor).
The scope includes condensed and gas phase photochemistry, as well as synchrotron radiation chemistry. A broad range of processes and techniques in photochemistry are covered such as light induced energy, electron and proton transfer; nonlinear photochemical behavior; mechanistic investigation of photochemical reactions and identification of the products of photochemical reactions; quantum yield determinations and measurements of rate constants for primary and secondary photochemical processes; steady-state and time-resolved emission, ultrafast spectroscopic methods, single molecule spectroscopy, time resolved X-ray diffraction, luminescence microscopy, and scattering spectroscopy applied to photochemistry. Papers in emerging and applied areas such as luminescent sensors, electroluminescence, solar energy conversion, atmospheric photochemistry, environmental remediation, and related photocatalytic chemistry are also welcome.
