II-VI core/shell quantum dots and doping with transition metal ions as a means of tuning the magnetoelectronic properties of CdS/ZnS core/shell QDs: A DFT study. J Mol Graph Model 2021; 111:108099. [PMID: 34871980 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmgm.2021.108099] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2021] [Revised: 11/14/2021] [Accepted: 11/27/2021] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
This paper examines the alterations in the properties of II-VI Quantum Dots (QDs) when these are coated with a shell made of another material of the same family and investigates the structural, electronic and magnetic properties of doped CdS/ZnS core/shell QDs. The core/shell QDs have been constructed by building the shell over the bare core QD and it is found that this construction of a shell over the bare QD can bring about dramatic changes in its optical properties. On changing the shell by varying either the cation or the anion, substantial variations are brought about in the band gap and electrophilicity. The trend of Fermi energies is more negative for core/shell QDs than for the QDs without a shell, and the value is almost the same for core/shell QDs with the same core. Swapping of the core and the shell materials brings greater stability in the case of shells of the wider band gap materials. Binding energy data demonstrates that the CdS/ZnS, CdSe/ZnSe, CdSe/CdS core/shell systems are more stable than ZnS/CdS, ZnSe/CdSe, CdS/CdSe core/shell systems, respectively. An augmentation in the properties is found on doping the QD with transition metal ions. The binding energies are found to be functions of the kind of dopant as well as the spin multiplicity and account for the stability of one spin state over the other at a specific site of the QD. The most fascinating property that plays a decisive role in the extant work is the introduction of magnetism in core/shell QDs as a result of the entry of unpaired electrons within the CdS/ZnS QDs on doping with transition metal ions. The deviation of the observed magnetic moments from the expected values increases as the dopant is varied from Mn2+ to Fe2+ to Co2+ to Ni2+ to Cu2+. Hirshfeld charge analysis shows that the doped ion accepts negative charge from the sulfide ions in the core, with the smallest charge transfer seen in the case of Hg2+ ions. As we move from Mn2+ to Hg2+, the trend followed for the Hirshfeld charges indicates that the overall charge on the core is lower and that on the shell is higher for all the doped cases in comparison to the undoped CdS/ZnS core/shell QD. The band gap values reveal that the Fe2+ doped CdS/ZnS core/shell structures have the smallest band gaps. Hence, we expect that this paper will help researchers to develop a strategy to produce QDs of the anticipated properties for various applications, and transition metal ions can be successfully employed for modification of various magnetoelectronic properties of the host semiconductor for future applications in nanotechnology.

Abstract
Here we report the peroxidase-like Au@Pt nanozyme as an integrated nanosensor for selective detection of silver ions (Ag+), where the nanozyme plays the roles as both the signal trigger and reporter simultaneously. This method relies on two critical chemical reactions, including (1) the unique inhibitory effect of Ag+ on the nanozyme triggered H2O2 decomposition at weak acid environment and (2) H2O2 induced Ag+ reduction onto the nanozyme surface at basic environment, leading to a blueshift in the localized surface plasmonic resonance wavelength (LSPR λmax) of the nanosensor. With this simple strategy, we demonstrated the sensitive and selective detection of Ag+ over a dynamic range from 0.5 to 1000 μM with a limit of detection (LOD) of 500 nM by UV-visible spectroscopy, which is below the permitted level of Ag+ in drinking water by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This method also exhibits satisfying recovery efficiency for Ag+ detection both in tap water and spring water from the Yuelu Mountain. With this satisfying sensing performance and excellent stability of nanoprobes, this strategy is promising for the detection of Ag+ in environment monitoring and food safety analysis.

Abstract
Quantum dots (QDs) are a class of zero-dimensional nanocrystal materials, whose lengths are limited to 2-10 nm. Their unique advantages such as wide excitation spectra, narrow emission spectra, and high quantum yield make their application possible in fluorescence sensing, wherein QDs such as CdSe, CdTe, and CdS are used. Indeed, QDs have a wide range of applications in fluorescence sensing, and there have been many reports of applications based on QDs as ion probes. The emission spectra of QDs can be adjusted by changing the size of the QDs or doping them with other ions/elements. However, the high toxicity of Cd and the poor anti-interference ability of single-emission fluorescent probes greatly limit the applications of QDs in many fields. In this paper, ZnS QDs are doped with the rare-earth element Ce to form a low-toxicity double-emission ratiometric fluorescent sensor, ZnS:Ce, for Hg2+ detection. The results of transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffractometry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and optical spectroscopy show that ZnS:Ce QDs were successfully synthesized. Under the optimal conditions, the concentration of Hg2+ was in the range of 10-100 μM, which had a linear relationship with the fluorescence intensity of the ZnS:Ce QDs: the linear correlation coefficient was 0.998, and the detection limit was 0.82 μM L-1. In addition, the fluorescent sensor had good selectivity for Hg2+, and it was successfully applied to the detection of Hg2+ in laboratory water samples.

Abstract
A ratiometric fluorometric assay for silver(I) is described. The method makes use of a dually emitting quantum dot hybrid, which is composed of (a) blue-fluorescent silicon- and nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots (CQDs), and (b) of red-emitting CdTe quantum dots (QDs) capped with N-acetyl-L-cysteine. The red-emitting CdTe QDs undergo strong and specific quenching by Ag(I), whereas the blue-emitting N,Si-CQDs are not quenched. The two kinds of QDs are mixed and used as a ratiometric fluorescent probe. A linear relationship is found between the log of intensities [(I608/I441)0/(I608/I441)] and the concentration of Ag(I) in the range from 5.0-1000 nM, and the limit of detection (at S/N = 3) is 1.7 nM. Possible interferents (including 17 general metal ions, 12 anions and fulvic acid) do not interfere with the determination. The assay was successfully used for the determination of Ag(I) in surface water and wastewater samples. The fluorescence quenching mechanism of the ratiometric assay system was also discussed in detailed. Graphical abstract Schematic representation of a ratiometric probe composed of silicon- and nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots (N,Si-CQDs) and CdTe quantum dots capped by N-acetyl-L-cysteine (CdTe QDs). This dual-emission QDs hybrid was fabricated for ultrasensitive and highly selective detection of silver(I) in water samples.

Abstract
Ag+ as one of the most commonly seen toxic heavy metal ions is involved in numerous vital biological processes, which would cause fatal damages and environmental contamination when Ag+ is excessive. In the present work, CdTe quantum dots (QDs) with green, orange, and red emission capped by mercaptoacetic acid (TGA) were synthesized at one time by controlling the synthesis time and utilized for Ag+ detection. Both fluorescence spectral red-shift and intensity decrease could be used for Ag+ discrimination. Fluorescence lifetime, Zeta potential, and XRD, etc. were carried out to analyze the detection mechanism. Results displayed that surface passivation and electron transfer due to binding effects of Ag+ to Te atom on traps of QDs could be relied on to explain the sensing mechanism. Additionally, in accordance with PCA analysis, Ag+ could be also be successfully differentiated from Hg2+ and the other metal ions. Importantly, a home-made portable device based on a 32 bit embed Micro Control Unit (MCU) system was first proposed for Ag+ detection. The power supply system adopt the mini-sized lithium cell instead of the power supply system, which ensure its practical applicability. The relative position of light source and detector is set at 90° to minimize the interference. According to the detection results, the linear detection range using the device was from 5 nM to 200 nM (with a larger coefficient of determination, R2), and the detection limit was calculated to be about 5 nM, which indicated that this proposed method and device could fulfil the practical application requirements.

Abstract
In this work, a new assembled copper ions sensor based on the Mn metal-enhanced fluorescence of N-acetyl-l-cysteine protected CdS quantum dots (NAC-Mn:CdS QDs) was developed. The NAC and Mn:CdS QDs nanoparticles were assembled into NAC-Mn:CdS QDs complexes through the formation of CdS and MnS bonds. As compared to NAC capped CdS QDs, higher fluorescence quantum yields of NAC-Mn:CdS QDs was observed, which is attributed to the surface plasmon resonance of Mn metal. In addition, the fluorescence intensity of as-formed complexes weakened in the presence of copper ions. The decrease in fluorescence intensity presented a linear relationship with copper ions concentration in the range from 0.16-3.36μM with a detection limit of 0.041μM . The characterization of as-formed QDs was analyzed by photoluminescence (PL), ultra violet-visible (UV-vis), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) respectively. Furthermore, the recoveries and relative standard deviations of Cu2+ spiked in real water samples for the intra-day and inter-day analyses were 88.20-117.90, 95.20-109.90, 0.80-5.80 and 1.20-3.20%, respectively. Such a metal-enhanced QDs fluorescence system may have promising application in chemical and biological sensors.

Abstract
The phosphorescent l-cysteine modified manganese-doped zinc sulfide quantum dots (l-cys-MnZnS QDs) was developed for a highly sensitive detection of permanganate anions (MnO4-). l-cys-MnZnS QDs, which were easily synthesized in aqueous media using safe and low-cost materials, can emit intense phosphorescence even though the solution was not deoxygenated. However, the phosphorescence of l-cys-Mn-ZnS QDs was strongly quenched by MnO4- ascribed to the oxidation of l-cys and the increase of surface defects on l-cys-MnZnS QDs. Under the optimal conditions, l-cys-MnZnS QDs offer high selectivity over other anions for MnO4- determination, and good linear Stern-Volmer equation was obtained for MnO4- in the range of 0.5-100μM with a detection limit down to 0.24μM. The developed method was finally applied to the detection of MnO4- in water samples, and the spike-recoveries fell in the range of 95-106%.

Abstract
The graphite carbon nitride (g-C3N4) nanosheets were synthesized and applied for the detection of Ag(+) ion in aqueous solutions. Transmission electron microscopy, Fourier infrared spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction, ultraviolet/visible and photoluminescence spectroscopy were used for characterization of g-C3N4 nanosheets. The fluorescence intensity of g-C3N4 nanosheets decreases with the increase in the concentration of Ag(+). The fluorescence probe can be applied for detection of Ag(+). The results show that it has high selectivity to Ag(+) and exhibits a good linearity over the concentration range 0.020-2.0μM with a detection limit of 27nM. Most cations do not have any interference on the detection of Ag(+). The quenching process is assessed and discussed. Finally, the g-C3N4 nanosheets have been successfully used for the detection of Ag(+) in real water samples. The recoveries of spiked water samples are >97%.

Abstract
Silver as an extensively used antibacterial agent also poses potential threats to the environment and human health. Hence, in this work, we design a fluorescent nanoprobe by using rhodamine B isothiocyanate (RhoBS) adsorbed MoS2 nanosheets to realize sensitive and selective detection of Ag(+). On the surface of RhoBS-loaded MoS2 nanosheets, Ag(+) can be reduced to Ag nanoparticles, which afterward could not only lead to the detachment of RhoBS molecules and thus their recovered fluorescence but also the surface-enhanced fluorescence from RhoBS remaining adsorbed on MoS2. Such an interesting mechanism allows highly sensitive detection of Ag(+) (down to 10 nM) with great selectivity among other metal ions. Moreover, we further demonstrate that our MoS2-RhoBS complex could act as a nontoxic nanoprobe to detect Ag(+) in live bacteria samples. Our work resulted from an unexpected finding and suggests the promise of two-dimensional transition-metal sulfide nanosheets as a novel platform for chemical and biological sensing.

Abstract
Ag(+) is known to bind very strongly with cytosine-cytosine (C-C) mismatches in DNA duplexes to form C-Ag(+)-C base pairs. Exonuclease III (Exo III) can catalyze the stepwise removal of mononucleotides of duplex DNA. In this work, we study Exo III activity on DNA hybrids containing C-Ag(+)-C base pairs. Our experiments show that Ag(+) ions could intentionally trigger the activity of Exo III towards a designed cytosine-rich DNA oligonucleotide (C-rich probe) by the conformational change of the probe. Our sensing strategy uses this conformation-dependent activity of Exo III, which is controlled through the cyclical shuffling of Ag(+) ions between the solid DNA hybrid and the solution phase. This interesting conversion has led to the development of an ultrasensitive detection platform for Ag(+) ions with a detection limit of 0.03 nM and a total assay time possible within minutes. This simple detection strategy could also be used for the detection of other metal ions which exhibit specific interactions with natural or synthetic bases.

Abstract
Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) exhibit unique optical and photophysical properties that offer significant advantages over organic dyes as optical labels for chemo/bio-sensing. This review addresses the methods for metal ion detection with QDs, including photoluminescent, electrochemiluminescent, photoelectrochemical, and electrochemical approaches. The main mechanisms of direct interaction between QDs and metal ions which lead to photoluminescence being either off or on, are discussed in detail. These direct interactions provide great opportunities for developing simple yet effect metal ion probes. Different methods to design the chemically-modified QD hybrid structures through anchoring metal ion-specific groups onto the surface of QDs are summarized. Due to the spatial separation of the luminescence center and analyte recognition sites, these chemically-modified QDs offer greatly improved sensitivity and selectivity for metal ions. Several interesting applications of QD-based metal ion probes are presented, with specific emphasis on cellular probes, coding probes and sensing with logic gate operations.
