Abstract

The invention provides a method for preparing silicon dioxide-coated quantum dots. The method comprises the following steps of: dispersing CdSe / CdS core-shell structural quantum dots into cyclohexane to obtain first mixed liquid; adding n-hexane, surfactant and ethyl orthosilicate into the first mixed liquid to obtain second mixed liquid; adding ammonia water into the second mixed liquid to carry out reaction; and depositing and separating a reaction product to obtain the silicon dioxide-coated quantum dots. The method firstly disperses the CdSe / CdS core-shell structural quantum dots into the cyclohexane to obtain the first mixed liquid, and then adds the n-hexane into the first mixed liquid serving as a dispersant. Since the n-hexane has similar polarity to the cyclohexane, the quantum dots can be dispersed into the n-hexane well. SiO2 formed by the hydrolysis of the ethyl orthosilicate can be coated on the quantum dots to the largest extent to obtain SiO2-coated CdSe / CdS core-shell structural quantum dots with uniform particle size. Compared with the prior art, the method for preparing the silicon dioxide-coated quantum dots has the advantages of few experimental procedures, simple operation and easy control.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of quantum dots, in particular to a method for preparing silicon dioxide-coated quantum dots.
