摘要
The response of water-soluble, mercaptocarboxylic acid-capped fluorescent semiconductor nanoparticles, or quantum dots (QDs), to extended visible-light irradiation is variable and poorly described. Here we use time-resolved spectroscopy to investigate the photoluminescence intensities and lifetimes of CdSe/ZnS and CdTe QDs as a function of blue light illumination. Conjugates of the particles to the electron donor dopamine were also investigated, and the effect of the antioxidant beta-mercaptoethanol was explored. Both types of QD showed signs of direct electron transfer to the conjugate, but enhancement was much more pronounced in CdSe/ZnS. A model of the two different types of enhancement is proposed.
