Core-shell doped QDs with the average size of 3.85 nm were obtained by using a one-pot synthesis followed by a hot injection with n-dodecanethiol（DDT） and oleylamine（OLA） as stabilizers in oil phase. Cu, Mn and Ag ions were introduced as single-dopant or co-dopants during the synthesis, providing an effective means to control the emission color of the QDs. The as-synthesized QDs showed photoluminescence emission ranging from green（530 nm） to near-red（613 nm）, adjusted by doping components, dopant concentration, and Zn/In ratio. Importantly, quasi-white emission has been achieved by controlling the concentration of co-doped metal ions（Mn, Cu and Ag）. The primary results demonstrated the promising potential of co-doped QDs as alternative materials for future high quality white LED applications.展开更多

Negative silica nanoparticles synthesized via modified St6ber method and cationic poly （diallyldimethylammonium chloride） were alternately adsorbed on the surface of microbeads. Zeta potential, size, and morphology of the microbeads were monitored during LBL assembly process to ensure the successful deposition of silica nanoparticles. The porous shell was characterized using nitrogen adsorption and desorption analyses, and the surface area, volume and diame- ter of the pores were derived. It is found that the porous shell thickness and the pore size can be tuned by changing the coating times of silica nanoparticles. Finally, PS@SiO2 core-shell microbeads with 5 grn PS solid core and 350 nm mesoporous shell （mean BJH pore diameter is ~27 nm） were used to load CdSe/ZnS quantum dots （QDs）. The fluorescence microscopic image and the optical amplification of the QDs-embedded microbeads （QDBs） indicate that the as-prepared core-shell microbeads can provide adequate space for QDs and may be useful for further application of nano-micro composites.展开更多
