GQDs decorated with europium (Eu), silver (Ag) and selenium (Se) at molar ratios of 0.1%, 0.3% and 0.5% were produced for the first time at different temperatures of 180 °C, 200 °C and 220 °C. Surface passivation was carried out with polyethylene glycol (PEG) to increase the intensity of photoluminescence (PL) of the produced samples. The prepared quantum dots were characterized by X-Ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), PL and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. GQDs synthesized at 180 °C and decorated with Se (0.3%) had maximum PL intensity along with long lasted afterglow over 90 min compared with other samples. Excitation wavelength at 360 nm produced maximum emission at 600-900 nm and resulted in high singlet oxygen (O ) generation which makes it a good candidate for photodynamic therapy applications.
首次在 180°C、200°C 和 220°C 的不同温度下,制备了摩尔比为 0.1%、0.3%和 0.5%的铕(Eu)、银(Ag)和硒(Se)修饰的 GQDs。通过使用聚乙二醇(PEG)进行表面钝化,来提高所制备样品的光致发光(PL)强度。通过 X 射线衍射(XRD)、傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)、透射电子显微镜(TEM)、PL 和紫外-可见光谱对制备的量子点进行了表征。与其他样品相比,在 180°C 下合成并被 Se(0.3%)修饰的 GQDs 具有最大的 PL 强度,并且余辉持续时间超过 90 分钟。在 360nm 的激发波长下,在 600-900nm 处产生最大发射,并产生高单线态氧(O )生成,使其成为光动力治疗应用的良好候选者。
