Problems solved by technology

However, this method is more complicated to operate, and Te powder needs to be reduced separately, and the Te precursor is easily oxidized during the reduction process. Therefore, in recent years, researchers have tried to find a stable Te source to synthesize quantum dots.
CdTe quantum dots (Suli Wu, et. J. Mater. Chem., 2012, 22, 14573-14578) and core-shell structure CdTe / CdS quantum dots (Li-Na Chen, et.Chem.Comm., 2012, 48, 4971-4973), but the reflux method takes too long to synthesize quantum dots, the operation is cumbersome, and it is not suitable for large-scale production; on the basis of previous work, we use tellurium One-step synthesis of Zn-doped CdTe quantum dots by hydrothermal method using sodium nitrate and tellurium dioxide as Te source

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for synthesizing Zn doped with CdTe quantum dots in one step. The preparation method is simple, and time consumption is short. The method comprises the following steps: firstly mixing zinc salt with cadmium salt with aqueous-phase sulfhydryl compound in water liquor; adjusting the pH; adding tellurium source tellurite or tellurium dioxide liquor and reductant hydroboron; conveying the liquor into a hydrothermal reaction kettle; and heating for a segment of time to obtain the Zn doped with CdTe fluorescent quantum dots. The method adopts the tellurite or the tellurium dioxide liquor as the Te source, so that the operation steps are greatly simplified and the synthesis reaction time is reduced; as the synthesis is carried out in water phase, the method is easy to produce on large scales and is green and environmental-friendly; the quantum dots have high quantum yield and good optical properties, and the doped molar percentage of Zn in the quantum dots achieves 30%, and the actual input rate achieves 80%, so that the content of heavy metal Cd in the quantum dots is greatly reduced; and the method can be widely applied to biological detection, targeted tracer, photovoltaic conversion and lighting display material.
