Determination of lysozyme at the nanogram level in chicken egg white using Resonance Rayleigh-scattering method with Cd-doped ZnSe quantum dots as probe

A new method for the determination of lysozyme with high sensitivity based on Resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) by using Cd doped ZnSe quantum dots (QDs) as a probe was proposed in this experiment. Cd doped ZnSe QDs capped with glutathione were prepared in the water phase. Further, the RRS spectrum, transmission electron microscope, and absorption spectrum of the QDs-lysozyme system have been characterized. In addition, the effects of several factors on scattering intensities were investigated, including pH value of solution, amount of QDs, mixing sequence of each reagent and the coexisting substances. Moreover, the possible mechanism for the RRS enhancement of Cd doped ZnSe QDs-lysozyme system was preliminary discussed. The RRS method for the determination of lysozyme has good sensitivity with the detection limits 6.5 × 10⁻¹⁰ g mL⁻¹. The contents of lysozyme were determined with recoveries of 97.1-101.6% and relativity standard deviation of 2.5-3.1%, respectively. It proved that the method established in our study is very sensitive, rapid, convenient and tolerant for the determination of lysozyme in synthetically and chicken egg white.     

Synthesis and optical properties of ordered 30 nm PbS nanowire arrays fabricated into sulfuric anodic alumina membrane

Crystalline PbS nanowire arrays have been successfully fabricated by AC applied DC electrochemical deposition from aqueous solutions of dimethylsulfoxide DMSO solution containing lead chloride and elemental sulfur into sulfuric anodic alumina membranes (AAM). These nanowires have uniform diameters of approximately 30 nm, and their lengths are up to tens of micrometers. Scanning electron microscopy indicates that the ordered PbS nanowire arrays are completely embedded. The results of X-ray diffraction show that the as-synthesized nanowires are crystalline with highly preferential orientation. Energy dispersive spectrometer analysis shows that the composition ratio is very close to 1:1. Finally PL and UV–VIS illustrate the quantum confinement effects of PbS nanowire arrays.

Effect of annealing temperature and graphene concentrations on photovoltaic and NIR-detector applications of PbS/rGO nanocomposites

The effect of annealing temperature on photovoltaic and near-infrared (NIR) detector applications of PbS nanoparticles (NPs) and PbS/graphene nanocomposites was investigated. The products were synthesized by a simple co-precipitation method and graphene oxide (GO) sheets were used as graphene source. Several characterization techniques were used to show transfer of the GO into reduced graphene oxide (rGO) during the synthesis process. In addition, the effect of graphene concentrations on morphology, structure, photovoltaic, and detector parameters of the samples were studied. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) images showed that, the PbS NPs were agglomerated, while, the PbS/rGO nanocomposites were dispersed completely after annealing under H₂/Ar gas atmosphere. UV–visible spectrometer showed an absorption peak for all samples in the near infrared red (NIR) region of the electromagnetic spectrum. The results indicated that, photocurrent intensity, responsivity of the samples to an NIR source, and solar-cell efficiency were affected by annealing of samples and graphene concentrations.     

Study of thiol capped CdSe quantum dots using SeO2 precursor for selenium source

CdSe quantum dots in aqueous medium using thioglycollic acid as capping agent have been synthesized. The reaction was carried out in an open atmosphere at pH of 12 and refluxed at 100 °C for 8 h. Selenium dioxide which is less expensive and less toxic has been used as a precursor for selenium source by replacing Se powder and sodium selenite. For characterization QD solutions was taken at different time intervals ranging from 15 min to 6 h. UV–Vis spectroscopy shows that there is a strong blue shift in the prepared quantum dots due to quantum confinement effect. Band gap calculated at different time intervals lies between 2.34 and 2.73 eV which is more than the bulk band gap 1.74 eV and with the increase in size of the QDs, bandgap also decreases. Photoluminescence study was carried out at excitation wavelength of 350 nm and results shows that with increase in time the peak position shift toward higher wavelength. FTIR spectroscopy shows peaks of thioglycollic acid. SEM micrographs of the prepared quantum dots show zero dimensional spherical particles in nm range. For electrical conductivity dc conductivity measurement has been done which shows that with increase of temperature conductivity increases, it confirms the semiconducting nature of the quantum dot. Conduction mechanism found to be mainly due to localized states.     

Improving optical properties of CdTe quantum dots by a new multidentae biopolymer based on salep

In this work, we have successfully modified aqueous CdTe quantum dots (QDs) by a biopolymer based on poly (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) grafted onto salep via a facile method at room temperature. The obtained QDs were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermo-gravimetric analysis (TG), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The size of the prepared QDs was estimated around 1.5 nm by TEM and XRD. Optical properties of modified QDs were monitored by absorption and fluorescence spectrophotometers. It was found that the fluorescence intensity of CdTe QDs was enhanced after coating by biopolymer. Finally, the fluorescence intensity of CdTe QDs was investigated at different temperatures and times.
