Alloy CdTe(1-x)Se(x) quantum dots (QDs) have been fabricated by an organic route using Cd, Te and Se precursors in a mixture of trioctylamine and octadecylphosphonic acid at 280 °C. The variation of photoluminescence (PL) peak wavelength of the CdTe(1-x)Se(x) QDs compared with CdTe QDs confirmed the formation of an alloy structure. The Se component drastically affected the stability of CdTe(1-x)Se(x) QDs. A Cd0.5Zn0.5S shell coating on CdTe(1-x)Se(x) cores was carried out using oleic acid as a capping agent. CdTe(1-x)Se(x)/Cd0.5Zn0.5S core/shell QDs revealed dark red PL while a yellow PL peak was observed for the CdTe(1-x)Se(x) cores. The PL efficiency of the core/shell QDs was drastically increased (less than 1% for the cores and up to 65% for the core/shell QDs). The stability of QDs in various buffer solutions was investigated. Core/shell QDs can be used for biological applications because of their high stability, tunable PL and high PL efficiency.
采用有机路线，在280°C下，于三辛胺和十八烷基膦酸的混合物中，使用镉、碲和硒前驱体制备了合金CdTe(1-x)Se(x)量子点（QDs）。与CdTe量子点相比，CdTe(1-x)Se(x)量子点的光致发光（PL）峰值波长的变化证实了合金结构的形成。硒组分极大地影响了CdTe(1-x)Se(x)量子点的稳定性。以油酸为封端剂，在CdTe(1-x)Se(x)核上进行了Cd0.5Zn0.5S壳层包覆。CdTe(1-x)Se(x)/Cd0.5Zn0.5S核壳量子点呈现深红色光致发光，而CdTe(1-x)Se(x)核则观察到黄色光致发光峰。核壳量子点的光致发光效率大幅提高（核的光致发光效率小于1%，核壳量子点高达65%）。研究了量子点在各种缓冲溶液中的稳定性。核壳量子点因其高稳定性、可调谐光致发光和高光致发光效率而可用于生物应用。
