Abstract
Multimodal nanoparticles, utilizing quantum dots (QDs), mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs), and gold nanoparticles (Au NPs), offer substantial potential as a smart and targeted drug delivery system for simultaneous cancer therapy and imaging. This method entails coating magnetic GZCIS/ZnS QDs with mesoporous silica, loading epirubicin into the pores, capping with Au NPs, PEGylation, and conjugating with epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) aptamers to actively target colorectal cancer (CRC) cells. This study showcases the hybrid QD@MSN-EPI-Au-PEG-Apt nanocarriers (size ~65 nm) with comprehensive characterizations post-synthesis. In vitro studies demonstrate the selective cytotoxicity of these targeted nanocarriers towards HT-29 cells compared to CHO cells, leading to a significant reduction in HT-29 cell survival when combined with irradiation. Targeted delivery of nanocarriers in vivo is validated by enhanced anti-tumor effects with reduced side effects following chemo-radiotherapy, along with imaging in a CRC mouse model. This approach holds promise for improved CRC theranostics.

Eco-Friendly Electrophoretic Deposition of Fluorescent Nanocomposite Films in an Aqueous Dispersion of Hydrophilized Core/Shell CuInS 2/ZnS Quantum Dots for Optoelectronic Applications. ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES 2024; 16:7780-7789. [PMID: 38315976 PMCID: PMC10876053 DOI: 10.1021/acsami.3c17264] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2023] [Revised: 01/22/2024] [Accepted: 01/24/2024] [Indexed: 02/07/2024]
Abstract
Low-toxic and efficient fluorescent core-shell CuInS2/ZnS (CIS/ZnS) quantum dots (QDs) are good candidates for optoelectronic device applications. They are synthesized in a hydrophobic environment, while large amounts of organic solvents used in the preparation of fluorescent films have significant problems on environmental load and human health. CIS/ZnS QDs hydrophilized by adsorbing 3-mercaptopropionic acid on their surfaces can be used in the aqueous film fabrication process. In this work, the aqueous electrophoretic deposition (EPD) of the hydrophilized QDs with silicone-modified acrylic resin nanoparticles was performed to fabricate fluorescent nanocomposite films. The hydrophilized QDs and resin nanoparticles were simultaneously dispersed in basic aqueous solutions due to electrostatic repulsion resulting from their negatively charged surfaces. Transparent films were obtained on a transparent conductive substrate at the anode side by the EPD. They showed yellow fluorescence of the QDs. The thickness increased with increasing the deposition time; however, hemispherical holes attributed to oxygen gas generated by water electrolysis were observed at the longer time. The electron microscopy revealed that the films were densely and homogeneously deposited. The QDs were dispersed around the resin nanoparticles without aggregation. The fluorescence (FL) quantum yield was 43%. The optical absorption peak and FL intensity of the QDs increased accompanied by the film growth. The nanocomposite film showed good heat resistance at 80-120 °C for 5 h; therefore, the prepared films have feasibility in white light-emitting diode (LED) applications. A lightening device structured with the obtained EPD film placed on a blue LED successfully emitted white light. In addition, the flexibility of the nanocomposite film was demonstrated. The aqueous EPD method would be one of the suitable methods for the industrial production of fluorescent QD films. This technique can be applied to other hydrophilic fluorescent QDs with charged surfaces. Realization of various fluorescent QD films would expand the application possibilities.

Abstract
Quantum dots (QDs) dispersed in UV-curable resin are used for patterning in photolithography and inkjet printing. However, low affinity between the main component of UV-curable resins known as celloxide, an alicyclic diepoxy compound, and QD surface ligands with alkyl chains causes significant aggregation of QDs. In this study, the dispersibility of core/shell CuInS2/ZnS QDs with adsorbed 1-dodecanethiol and oleic acid in celloxide was improved using the ligand exchange method to prepare transparent fluorescent nanocomposites. Cyclohexyl 3-mercaptopropionate (MPACH) and 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) were successfully adsorbed onto the QDs. MPACH-modified QDs (QD-MPACH) were well dispersed in the UV-curable resin, whereas MPA-modified QDs (QD-MPA) exhibited significant aggregation. Nanocomposite plates containing dispersed QDs were prepared by UV irradiation. The QD-MPACH nanocomposite plate was transparent, while the QD-MPA nanocomposite plate was turbid. The homogeneous dispersion of QD-MPACH was attributed to the similarity in the molecular structure between MPACH and celloxide. The photoluminescence (PL) peak of the QD-MPA nanocomposite occurred at a longer wavelength than that of the QD-MPACH nanocomposite. Furthermore, compared with the absolute photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of the as-prepared QDs in toluene (55%), that of the QD-MPA nanocomposite was smaller (46%), and that of the QD-MPACH nanocomposite was higher (61%). An enhanced self-absorption effect was observed for the QD-MPA nanocomposite because of significant light scattering by the aggregates and concentration quenching, resulting in the PL redshift and decreased PLQY. Moreover, the PL intensity of the QD-MPACH nanocomposite was maintained at 98% of the initial value after continuous excitation-light irradiation for 5 h. The high PLQY and photostability of the QD-MPACH nanocomposite are beneficial in practical applications.

Magnetic and Highly Luminescent Heterostructures of Gd 3+/ZnO Conjugated to GCIS/ZnS Quantum Dots for Multimodal Imaging. NANOMATERIALS 2021; 11:nano11071817.

Abstract
In recent years, the use of quantum dots (Qdots) to obtain biological images has attracted attention due to their excellent luminescent properties and the possibility of their association with contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In this study, Gd3+/ZnO (ZnOGd) were conjugated with Qdots composed of a gadolinium-copper-indium-sulphur core covered with a ZnS shell (GCIS/ZnS Qdots). This conjugation is an innovation that has not yet been described in the literature, and which aims to improve Qdot photoluminescent properties. Structural and morphological Qdots features were obtained by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermogravimetric analyses (TGA). The photoluminescent properties were examined by emission (PL) and excitation (PLE) spectra. A new ZnOGd and GCIS/ZnS (ZnOGd-GCIS/ZnS) nanomaterial was synthesized with tunable optical properties depending on the ratio between the two native Qdots. A hydrophilic or lipophilic coating, using 3-glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTMS) or hexadecyltrimethoxysilane (HTMS) on the surface of ZnOGd-GCIS/ZnS Qdots, was carried out before assessing their efficiency as magnetic resonance contrast agents. ZnOGd-GCIS/ZnS had excellent luminescence and MRI properties. The new Qdots developed ZnOGd-GCIS/ZnS, mostly constituted of ZnOGd (75%), which had less cytotoxicity when compared to ZnOGd, as well as greater cellular uptake.

Abstract
CuInS2 (CIS) quantum dots (QDs) are known to be ideal fluorophores based on their low toxicity and tunable emission. However, due to low quantum yield (QY) and photostability, the surface is usually passivated by a higher bandgap shell (e.g. ZnS). This always resulted in a blue-shifted emission position which is not usually favourable for biological imaging. To address this problem, we herein report the passivation of green synthesized near infra-red emitting glutathione (GSH) capped CuInS2 QDs using different concentration of sodium alginate (SA) at different temperatures. The as-synthesized QDs are small (~ 3.2 nm), highly crystalline and emitted in the near infra-red region. The optical results showed a 36% increase in photostability and a 2-fold increase in quantum yield at ratio 1:8 (SA: CIS) which is suitable for prolonged biological imaging applications. Transmission electron microscope and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses showed that the materials are highly crystalline without any change in shape and size after passivation with the biopolymer.

Abstract
Employing a visible-light-driven direct Z-scheme photocatalytic system for the abatement of organic pollutants has become the key scientific approach in the area of photocatalysis. In this study, a highly efficient Z-scheme ZnIn2S4/MoO3 heterojunction was prepared through the hydrothermal method, followed by the impregnation technique that facilitates the formation of an interface between the two phases for efficient photocatalysis. The structural, optical, and surface elemental composition and morphology of the prepared samples were characterized in detail through X-ray diffraction, UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The results indicate that the composite materials have a strong intimate contact between the two phases, which is beneficial for the effective separation of photoinduced charge carriers. The visible-light-mediated photocatalytic activity of the samples was tested by studying the degradation of methyl orange (MO), rhodamine B (RhB), and paracetamol in aqueous suspension. An optimum loading content of 40 wt % ZnIn2S4/MoO3 exhibits the best degradation efficiency toward the above pollutants compared to bare MoO3 and ZnIn2S4. The improved photocatalytic activity could be ascribed to the efficient light-harvesting property and prolonged charge separation ability of the Z-scheme ZnIn2S4/MoO3 catalyst. Based on reactive species determination results, the Z-scheme charge transfer mechanism of ZnIn2S4/MoO3 was discussed and proposed. This study paves the way toward the development of highly efficient direct Z-scheme structures for a multitude of applications.

Abstract
All-inorganic mixed-halide CsPb(Br1-x I x )3 perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) are excellent candidates for green-emitting phosphors in wide color gamut displays; however, a detailed investigation of their photoluminescence (PL) properties based on the halide composition has been missing. In this work, we report a fundamental investigation of the changes in the PL properties of CsPb(Br1-x I x )3 NCs. The PL color of the NCs, which were prepared by a hot-injection method, changed from green to red with increasing iodide composition (x). Almost ideal green emission close to the chromaticity coordinates of the green vertex of the BT.2020 standard was achieved by appropriately substituting iodide ions for bromide ions in monohalide CsPbBr3 NCs. However, the PL peak width of the mix-halide NCs at x ∼ 0.5 was 0.127 eV, which was broader than the 0.105 eV peak width of the monohalide CsPbBr3 NCs. This phenomenon should be due to the compositional inhomogeneity among the individual CsPb(Br1-x I x )3 NCs. On the other hand, the PL quantum yield (PLQY) for the monohalide CsPbBr3 NCs decreased from 70 to 25% as x increased to 0.5. This result may be attributed to lattice distortion by the difference in the ionic radii of bromide and iodide. Improvements in the compositional inhomogeneity and lattice distortion would enhance the color purity of the green emission and the PLQY, respectively, of the CsPb(Br1-x I x )3 NCs.

Abstract
In this work, green-emitting InP/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) modified with 1-dodecanethiol were embedded into silica by two methods to improve their photostability while maintaining a high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) and a color coordinate. A monolithic QD-silica composite prepared by a non-aqueous route with tetraethyl orthosilicate and lactic acid featured low transparency, a loss of the color purity of green, and a PLQY of 1.6%, which was considerably lower than that of the original QDs (67%). The decrease of the PLQY was attributed to QD aggregation in the sol–gel process and degradation of the QDs by the acid. The alternative method involved stirring a toluene dispersion of the QDs with tetramethyl orthosilicate (TMOS) for 20 h or 7 days. The PLQY of the TMOS-modified InP/ZnS QDs (20 h) was 62%, which was only slightly lower than that of the original QDs. The PLQY decreased to 52% when the duration of aging was prolonged to 7 days. This decrease was attributed to desorption of surface modifiers from the QD surface and oxidative degradation by oxygen dissolved in toluene. Herein, the color coordinate was maintained stably. Photostability was evaluated by continuous irradiation of the samples by a blue light emitting diode. The decrease of photoluminescence (PL) intensity was suppressed by the silica encapsulation. In particular, the PL intensity of the TMOS-modified InP/ZnS QD sample (7 d) maintained 99% of its initial intensity. Silica encapsulation of InP/ZnS QDs prevented contact of the QDs with oxygen in the air, resulting in improved photostability. We prepared and characterized green-emitting silica composites containing InP/ZnS QDs with excellent quantum yield, emission color purity, and photostability.![]()
