摘要
CdTe quantum dots (QDs, 3-6 nmphi) were incorporated into silica nanoparticles (20-30 nmphi) by an inverse microemulsion technique. The transmission electron microscope image shows that the QDs are situated on the surface of silica particles. These QD-silica particles in solution exhibited a stable luminescence with at least the similar quantum efficiency (ca. 5%) as that of the initial colloidal solution over several weeks of storage. The particles taken out from the solution as a powder form showed the same quantum efficiency for a long time as well. This is because silica acts as an effective protective environment for the QDs.
