摘要
We developed a new fluorescent nanocomposite by using a layer-by-layer approach to link NaYF4:Ce,Tb rare-earth (RE) nanocrystals and CdSe/ZnSe semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) with opposite charges. Under ultraviolet light excitation, the nanocomposites exhibited both the green Tb emission centered at 550 nm, and the red QD emission at 650 nm. Sensing applications showed that the red QD emission was quenched by trace amount of Cu2+ (or Ag+) ions due to the ion displacement mechanism, while the green RE emission kept constant. Thus, the nanocomposites with the decreased QD/RE emission intensity ratio and changed fluorescence output color provided a visible "indicator" to detect metal ions quantificationally. In comparison with single emission materials, the dual emission nanocomposites can be a more reliable probe for various sensing applications.
