摘要
This paper describes the synthesis of CdTe quantum dots (QDs) together capped by glutathione and thioglycolic acid (GSH and TGA) in aqueous solution. The narrow photoluminescence (fwhm <= 40 nm) CdTe QDs, whose emission spans most of the visible spectrum from green through red, has a quantum yield (QY) of 68% at room temperature. GSH/TGA-CdTe QDs are characterized by various experimental techniques such as optical absorption, photoluminescence and AFM measurements. Coumaric acid and caffeic acid is able to quench the fluorescence of GSH/TGA-CdTe QDs, and the fluorescence intensity is linearly proportional to the concentration of quenchers. The addition of bovine serum albumin (BSA) restores the fluorescence intensity of GSH/TGA-CdTe QDs-coumaric acid system and GSH/TGA-CdTe QDs-caffeic acid system. The fluorescence recovery was due to the interaction of BSA with coumaric acid and caffeic acid, leading to the freeing of the GSH/TGA-CdTe QDs. The fluorescence quenching mechanism of GSH/TGA-CdTe QDs was discussed. The binding constant and thermodynamics parameters of BSA-coumaric acid and BSA-caffeic acid during the binding process were calculated in the paper. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
