Description

經疏水性表面改質之發光奈米級顆粒,其之製法及用途Luminescent nano-sized particles modified by hydrophobic surface, preparation method and use thereof

本發明係關於新穎之經疏水性表面改質的發光奈米顆粒,關於其之製法及關於其之用途。This invention relates to novel hydrophobic surface-modified luminescent nanoparticles, to processes for their preparation and to their use.

半導體奈米顆粒之新穎的光學性質、磁性質及電性質在近幾年來已受矚目,因為彼能明顯地異於巨結晶變異體之諸性質。因為其良好之性質,通式XY(其中X=Zn、Cd、Hg、Pb且Y=O、S、Se、Te)之奈米顆粒可以是特別令人感興趣的。The novel optical properties, magnetic properties, and electrical properties of semiconductor nanoparticles have received attention in recent years because they are significantly different from the properties of giant crystalline variants. Nanoparticles of the general formula XY (where X = Zn, Cd, Hg, Pb and Y = O, S, Se, Te) may be of particular interest because of their good properties.

特別在用於光學材料及層時,奈米顆粒提供之優點是:因為與顆粒直徑之六次方相關,該等奈米顆粒之發散截面相較於微結晶材料之發散截面是極小的。因此,當加工期間奈米顆粒之附聚可以防止時,可能使用奈米顆粒以製造透明之混合材料。Particularly when used in optical materials and layers, nanoparticle provides the advantage that, due to the sixth power of the particle diameter, the divergent cross section of the nanoparticle is extremely small compared to the divergent cross section of the microcrystalline material. Therefore, when the agglomeration of the nanoparticles is prevented during processing, it is possible to use the nanoparticles to produce a transparent mixed material.

然而,奈米顆粒通常不能以純且未受保護之形式被使用;而是需要保護以不受化學作用的侵襲,例如氧化作用及水解作用。附聚傾向之降低及對化學作用之侵襲安定性的增加係經由適合之配合基殼體或基質之使用而達成。However, nanoparticles are generally not used in pure and unprotected form; rather, they need to be protected from chemical attack, such as oxidation and hydrolysis. The reduction in the tendency to agglomerate and the increase in the aggressiveness of the chemical action are achieved by the use of a suitable mating matrix or matrix.

特別對於光學應用而言,摻雜外來原子之奈米結晶是特別重要的。特別地,摻雜錳之材料代表一種已滲入例如以下應用中以作為發光體之物質類:例如在發光二極體中(Y.Horii et al.,Materials Science and Engineering B,2001,85,92),在薄層電發光中(EP 1 241 713 A1),在光生伏打中,在雷射中及在奈米範圍之電子開關中(J.Hu et al.,Science,2001,292,2060)。因為二價錳離子仍然具有強的磁矩,在電子及磁性質之偶合中漸增加之可想到的應用也正被討論(所謂之”自旋電子學”)。Especially for optical applications, nanocrystallization with foreign atoms is particularly important. In particular, the manganese-doped material represents a substance that has penetrated into, for example, the following applications as an illuminant: for example, in a light-emitting diode (Y. Horii et al., Materials Science and Engineering B, 2001, 85, 92). ), in thin-layer electroluminescence (EP 1 241 713 A1), in photovoltaics, in lasers and in electronic switches in the nanometer range (J. Hu et al., Science, 2001, 292, 2060) ). Since divalent manganese ions still have strong magnetic moments, conceivable applications in which electrons and magnetic properties are increasingly added are also being discussed (so-called "spintronics").

摻雜或不摻雜Mn的ZnS奈米顆粒在以前已就其光學激發、其發射及其經由外殼或基質之改質以控制其表面性質,而被描述數次。ZnS nanoparticles doped or undoped with Mn have been described several times before they have been optically excited, their emission and their modification via the outer shell or matrix to control their surface properties.

為要改良其表面,已建議例如以下物質作為配合基:硫代甘油(M.Bredol et al.,Solid State Phenomena,2004,99-100,19),丙烯酸(T.Toyoda et al.,Thin solid films,2003,438,132;H.Althues et al.,Chem.Mater.,2006,18,1068),聚乙烯基吡咯烷酮(N.Karara et al.,J.Appl.Phys.,2004,95,656),3-巰基丙酸(J.Zhuang et al.,J.Mater.Chem.,2003,12,1853),脫乙醯殼多糖(H.Warad et al.,Microsc.,Microanal.,2005,11,1920),二辛基硫丁酸鈉(A.Dinsmore et al.,J.Phys.Chem.,2000,88,9),組胺酸(G.Yi et al.,J.Mater.Chem.,2001,11,2928),六偏磷酸鈉(H.Warad et al.,Adv.Mater.2005,6,296),辛硫醇及半胱胺(=2-胺基硫乙醇;S.J.Cho et al.,Langmuir,2007,23,1974)。In order to improve the surface, it has been suggested, for example, as a ligand: thioglycerol (M. Bredol et al., Solid State Phenomena, 2004, 99-100, 19), acrylic acid (T. Toyoda et al., Thin solid) Films, 2003, 438, 132; H. Althues et al., Chem. Mater., 2006, 18, 1068), polyvinylpyrrolidone (N. Karara et al., J. Appl. Phys., 2004, 95, 656), 3 - Mercaptopropionic acid (J. Zhuang et al., J. Mater. Chem., 2003, 12, 1853), quercetin (H. Warad et al., Microsc., Microanal., 2005, 11, 1920) ), sodium dioctyl thiobutyrate (A. Dinsmore et al., J. Phys. Chem., 2000, 88, 9), histidine (G. Yi et al., J. Mater. Chem., 2001) , 11, 2928), sodium hexametaphosphate (H. Warad et al., Adv. Mater. 2005, 6, 296), octyl thiol and cysteamine (= 2-amino thioethanol; SJCho et al., Langmuir , 2007, 23, 1974).

配合基對這些材料之光發射可以具有影響:不適合之配合基吸收來自發光顆粒之所有或部分的激發能量,且因此導致發光之抑制(完全或部分地,所謂之”淬滅”)。此外,配合基可以提供疏水性或親水性基團於新的粒子表面上,而後與周圍基質有交互作用。The ligand can have an effect on the light emission of these materials: an unsuitable ligand absorbs all or part of the excitation energy from the luminescent particles and thus causes inhibition of the luminescence (completely or partially, so-called "quenching"). In addition, the ligand can provide a hydrophobic or hydrophilic group on the surface of the new particle and then interact with the surrounding matrix.

為製造摻雜或不摻雜之親水性顆粒,特別地,半胱胺(2-胺基硫乙醇)及其相對應之鹽類(例如氯化半胱銨)是有利的,因為彼因此可能製造極小顆粒(藉光散射計測量之顆粒直徑小於10mm),這些顆粒不僅可容易離析的且完全可再分散於水中,但也具有強烈的光致發光。In order to produce doped or undoped hydrophilic particles, in particular, cysteamine (2-aminothioethanol) and its corresponding salts (for example cysteine chloride) are advantageous because they are therefore possible Very small particles (particle diameters measured by light scatterometers of less than 10 mm) are produced, which are not only easily detachable but are completely redispersible in water, but also have strong photoluminescence.

經安定化之奈米顆粒可以藉沉澱而獲得;在合成時原位使用配合基不僅導致相關改良之奈米顆粒,也導致結晶成長之控制及限制。The stabilized nanoparticle can be obtained by precipitation; the use of the ligand in situ during synthesis not only leads to the related modified nanoparticle, but also leads to the control and limitation of crystal growth.

然而,這些經半胱胺改質之親水性顆粒不能分散於有機系統中。However, these cysteamine-modified hydrophilic particles cannot be dispersed in an organic system.

疏水性發光奈米顆粒依照先前技術不能極令人滿意地製造:已知系統顯現出極強的附聚傾向,發射之部分淬滅及僅不令人滿意的配合基黏合。這使合併於疏水性聚合物或其單體的作用複雜化,或使該作用完全被防止。更成功的方法是基於適合單體之吸收/表面反應(H.Althues et al.,Chem.Mater.,2006,18,1068)或基於配合溶劑例如己基癸胺之使用(US 3,780,242);然而在此二情況中,配合基可以困難地再次除去或改質以供其他目的之用。Hydrophobic luminescent nanoparticles cannot be manufactured very satisfactorily according to the prior art: known systems exhibit a strong tendency to agglomerate, partial quenching of the emission and only unsatisfactory ligand bonding. This complicates the action of the hydrophobic polymer or its monomer, or completely prevents the action. A more successful method is based on the absorption/surface reaction of a suitable monomer (H. Althues et al., Chem. Mater., 2006, 18, 1068) or based on the use of a complexing solvent such as hexylguanamine (US 3,780,242); In both cases, the ligand can be removed or modified again for other purposes with difficulty.

因此本發明之目的是要提供發光奈米顆粒,其已用配合基來疏水性改質,且因此極適合加工成疏水性聚合物或其單體(例如丙烯酸異冰酯)。此外,奈米顆粒應不易於附聚,特別是在用於疏水性系統時,且不顯現出任何明顯的發光淬滅。最後,配合基也應對核心顯現出良好但可逆的黏合性,且在化學上可有效地改質。It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide luminescent nanoparticles which have been hydrophobically modified with a ligand and are therefore highly suitable for processing into hydrophobic polymers or monomers thereof (e.g., isobornyl acrylate). In addition, the nanoparticles should not readily agglomerate, especially when used in hydrophobic systems, and do not exhibit any significant luminescence quenching. Finally, the ligand also exhibits good but reversible adhesion to the core and is chemically effective for upgrading.

此目的藉經改質之奈米顆粒而達成,該奈米顆粒包含式XY之核心及配合基殼體,其中X=Zn、Cd、Hg或Pb,且Y=O、S、Se或Te,其中該配合基殼體包含至少二個配合基L1及L2,其中L1係選自式(1)之胺基烷硫醇This object is achieved by a modified nanoparticle comprising a core of the formula XY and a ligand matrix, wherein X = Zn, Cd, Hg or Pb, and Y = O, S, Se or Te, Wherein the ligand base comprises at least two ligands L1 and L2, wherein the L1 is selected from the group consisting of amino alkanethiols of formula (1)

其中R1 係選自具有1至4個碳之二價之直鏈型、支鏈型或芳族烴基,例如伸甲基(所得之胺基烷硫醇則是半胱胺)、伸乙基或伸丙基,且L2係選自a)式(2a)及(2b)之未取代或經取代之磺酸類 Wherein R 1 is selected from the group consisting of a linear, branched or aromatic hydrocarbon group having a divalent of 1 to 4 carbons, such as a methyl group (the resulting amino alkanethiol is a cysteamine), and an ethyl group Or propyl, and L2 is selected from a) unsubstituted or substituted sulfonic acids of formula (2a) and (2b)

RR 22 -SO-SO 33 H (2a)H (2a)

其中R2 是具有1至22個碳之二價之直鏈型、支鏈型或芳族的未經取代或經取代之烴基,特別是未經取代或經F-或OH-取代之烴基,例如甲基、乙基、丙基、C8-烷基、C12-烷基或C16-烷基,或b)式(3)之烷基苯甲酸類 Wherein R 2 is a divalent linear, branched or aromatic unsubstituted or substituted hydrocarbon group having from 1 to 22 carbons, particularly an unsubstituted or F- or OH-substituted hydrocarbon group, For example, methyl, ethyl, propyl, C8-alkyl, C12-alkyl or C16-alkyl, or b) alkylbenzoic acid of formula (3)

其中R3 是具有1至22個碳之二價之直鏈型、支鏈型或芳族的未經取代或經取代之烴基,特別是未經取代或經F-或OH-取代之烴基,例如甲基、乙基或丙基。 Wherein R 3 is a linear, branched or aromatic unsubstituted or substituted hydrocarbon group having from 2 to 22 carbons, particularly an unsubstituted or F- or OH-substituted hydrocarbon group, For example, methyl, ethyl or propyl.

本發明之顆粒顯現出強烈的發光(螢光及/或磷光),特別是具有高的量子產率之螢光。The particles of the invention exhibit intense luminescence (fluorescence and/or phosphorescence), especially fluorescence with a high quantum yield.

本發明之奈米顆粒不僅顯現出所要之正面性質,另外地也特別在於:當配合基L2選自式(2a)及(2b)之未取代或經取代之磺酸類時,彼可以用極簡單之方式在水溶液中製備。The nanoparticle of the present invention not only exhibits the desired positive properties, but also specifically: when the ligand L2 is selected from the unsubstituted or substituted sulfonic acids of the formulae (2a) and (2b), it can be extremely simple The manner is prepared in an aqueous solution.

較佳地,在顆粒中,在配合基殼體中之配合基L1及L2不會互相分開並排地以獨立之配合基形式存在以形成各層(例如單-及/或雙層),而是至少部分地藉至少一化學鍵來互相連接,以在形式上形成新的L3 配合基。L1及L2配合基較佳形成相對應之磺醯胺鍵或醯胺鍵。Preferably, in the particles, the ligands L1 and L2 in the ligand matrix are not separated from each other side by side in the form of separate ligands to form the layers (for example, single- and/or double-layer), but at least Partially linked to each other by at least one chemical bond to form a new L 3 ligand. The L1 and L2 ligands preferably form a corresponding sulfonamide bond or a guanamine bond.

奈米顆粒更佳是那些具有ZnS核心者,因為這些特徵在於具有比較好的環境相容性與比較好的發光率及低的製造成本。Nanoparticles are preferred for those having a ZnS core because these features are characterized by better environmental compatibility and better luminosity and lower manufacturing costs.

配合基L1較佳是半胱胺(=2-胺基硫乙醇),因為之後達到特別堅固之配合基對核心的黏合性,且顆粒之發光與不具有殼體之發光相比,幾乎一點也無降低。The ligand L1 is preferably cysteamine (=2-aminothioethanol) because the adhesion of the particularly strong ligand to the core is achieved, and the luminescence of the particles is almost the same as that without the luminescence of the shell. No reduction.

當配合基L2是4-十二烷基苯磺酸時,結果獲得特別適合使用於疏水性介質之奈米顆粒。When the ligand L2 is 4-dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid, as a result, a nanoparticle which is particularly suitable for use in a hydrophobic medium is obtained.

在配合基殼體中之L1:L2配合基的數值比例較佳是>或=0.95,較佳地0.95-1.05。L1:L2配合基之數值比例更佳是1.0。The numerical ratio of the L1:L2 ligand in the mating base shell is preferably > or = 0.95, preferably 0.95-1.05. The numerical ratio of L1:L2 ligand is preferably 1.0.

較佳地,本發明之奈米顆粒在配合基殼體中除了配合基L1及L2以外,不具有另外之配合基。Preferably, the nanoparticles of the present invention have no additional ligands in the ligand matrix other than the ligands L1 and L2.

當本發明之奈米顆粒(包括配合基殼體),使用Malvern奈米尺寸計且藉由動力光散射而測得具有1至30nm,較佳地5至25nm,更佳地10至15nm尺寸時,彼特別適合光學用途。當顆粒變為大於30nm時,結果是令人不滿意之發光率。在低於此值之範圍內,因此仍可能有利地控制發光性質,特別是激發及最大發射及量子產率。When the nanoparticle of the present invention (including a ligand base) is measured using a Malvern nanometer scale and measured by dynamic light scattering to have a size of 1 to 30 nm, preferably 5 to 25 nm, more preferably 10 to 15 nm He is especially suitable for optical applications. When the particles become larger than 30 nm, the result is an unsatisfactory luminosity. Below this value, it is therefore also possible to advantageously control the luminescent properties, in particular the excitation and maximum emission and quantum yield.

為獲得特別強烈的發光奈米顆粒,且為控制其之上述發光性質,其核心可以摻雜外來原子;在統計平均上,以合金為基準計,對於過渡金屬而言,摻雜最多至10莫耳%的程度,較佳地最多至2莫耳%的程度;對於金屬Au、Ag及Cu而言,摻雜最多至1莫耳%的程度。外來原子可以選自Sc、Ti、V、Cr、Mn、Fe、Co、Ni、Cu、Nb、Mo、Tc、Ru、Pd、Ag、Ta、Re、Os、Ir、Pt、Au、Hg、Ce、Pr、Nd、Sm、Eu、Gd、Tb、Dy、Ho、Er、Tm及Yb。該金屬較佳是Mn、Fe、Ni、Cu、Ag、Au、Sm、Eu、Tb、Dy、Er、Tm及/或Yb。甚至更佳地,摻雜所用之外來原子是Mn、Cu、Au、Ag、Eu及/或Dy。最適合是Mn。In order to obtain particularly strong luminescent nano-particles, and to control the above-mentioned luminescent properties, the core can be doped with foreign atoms; on a statistical average, based on the alloy, for the transition metal, doping up to 10 The degree of ear %, preferably up to 2 mol%; for metals Au, Ag and Cu, doping up to 1 mol%. The foreign atom may be selected from the group consisting of Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Nb, Mo, Tc, Ru, Pd, Ag, Ta, Re, Os, Ir, Pt, Au, Hg, Ce , Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm and Yb. The metal is preferably Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Ag, Au, Sm, Eu, Tb, Dy, Er, Tm and/or Yb. Even more preferably, the foreign atoms used for doping are Mn, Cu, Au, Ag, Eu and/or Dy. Most suitable is Mn.

本發明之顆粒可以用不同方式來合成。本發明之疏水性奈米顆粒可以在水性介質中製造,是一項大的優點。The particles of the invention can be synthesized in different ways. The hydrophobic nanoparticle of the present invention can be produced in an aqueous medium and is a great advantage.

本發明之奈米顆粒較佳可以藉由在水中或在有機溶劑中之”捕獲沉澱”的方法來製造,其中配合基在其沉澱期間被附加在XY核心之表面上且因此限制核心成長。The nanoparticles of the present invention are preferably produced by a "capture precipitation" method in water or in an organic solvent in which a ligand is attached to the surface of the XY core during its precipitation and thus limits core growth.

藉由在水性介質中之”捕獲沉澱”方法製造之本發明的奈米顆粒,以獲得單分散之奈米顆粒,是特別簡單的:此包含從成分X之鹽的水溶液中,藉添加成分Y之化合物的水溶液,在配合基L1及L2的存在下,沉澱本發明之經配合基改質之奈米顆粒。The nanoparticle of the present invention produced by the "capture precipitation" method in an aqueous medium to obtain monodisperse nanoparticle is particularly simple: this comprises the addition of the component Y from the aqueous solution of the salt of the component X. The aqueous solution of the compound precipitates the ligand-modified nanoparticle of the present invention in the presence of the ligands L1 and L2.

較佳地,在添加成分Y之化合物的水溶液之前,在成分X之鹽的存在或不存在下,配合基L1及L2在溶液中互相反應。Preferably, the ligands L1 and L2 are mutually reacted in solution in the presence or absence of a salt of the component X prior to the addition of the aqueous solution of the compound of the component Y.

在所述之製備方法中可被使用之X的適合鹽類包括X之所有水溶性鹽類。彼較佳是X之可溶的乙酸鹽類、硝酸鹽類、鹵化物、低碳羧酸之羧酸鹽類、及硫酸鹽類。Suitable salts of X which can be used in the preparation process include all water-soluble salts of X. Preferably, it is a soluble acetate, a nitrate, a halide, a carboxylate of a low carbon carboxylic acid, and a sulfate.

Y之較佳化合物包括Y之所有的水溶性化合物或釋出Y的化合物,特別是可溶的硫屬化合物及氫硫屬化合物,H2 Y型之氣態化合物及Y之分解先質,特別是硫醯胺類及硫脲類。特佳者是使用相關之鈉硫屬化合物。Preferred compounds of Y include all water-soluble compounds of Y or compounds which release Y, particularly soluble chalcogenides and hydrogen chalcogenides, gaseous compounds of type H 2 Y and decomposition precursors of Y, especially Thioamines and thioureas. The most preferred is the use of related sodium chalcogenides.

製備經改質之XY奈米顆粒之另外的方法係在逆膠質粒子中進行。這些構成具有固定幾何形狀及量的水性沉澱介質於奈米尺寸之經分散的水滴內。有利的是:顆粒尺寸可以經由親兩性之選擇而反覆地控制,因為膠質粒子之附聚數是一平衡參數。只要顆粒仍然孤立於膠質粒子內部,則另外可能進一步地例如藉由建構用於鈍化之殼體而將顆粒改質。在逆膠質粒子中製造本發明之顆粒的典型的方法使用成分X之鹽的水溶液及成分Y之化合物的水溶液,此二者分別在不與水互溶的有機溶劑中與兩性物質(例如聚氧伸乙基(5)壬基醚於己烷中)摻混,以形成微乳膠,然後二者在激烈攪拌下互相混合,配合基L1及L2在成分X之鹽的水溶液及/或在第三水溶液(其同樣地與該不與水互溶的有機溶劑摻混,以形成微乳膠,且在激烈攪拌下與前二種微乳膠之混合物混合)被離析且之後例如用丙酮來沉澱。An additional method of preparing the modified XY nanoparticles is carried out in reverse colloidal particles. These constitute aqueous precipitation media having a fixed geometry and amount in dispersed droplets of nanometer size. Advantageously, the particle size can be controlled repeatedly by the choice of affinity, since the number of agglomerates of the colloidal particles is an equilibrium parameter. As long as the particles are still isolated inside the colloidal particles, it is additionally possible to further modify the particles, for example by constructing a shell for passivation. A typical method for producing the particles of the present invention in a reverse particle is to use an aqueous solution of a salt of the component X and an aqueous solution of a compound of the component Y, respectively, in an organic solvent which is not miscible with water and an amphoteric substance (for example, polyoxygen extension) Ethyl (5) mercapto ether is blended in hexane to form a microemulsion, and then the two are mixed with each other under vigorous stirring, and the base L1 and L2 are in an aqueous solution of the salt of the component X and/or in the third aqueous solution. (It is likewise blended with the water-immiscible organic solvent to form a microemulsion, and mixed with the mixture of the first two microemulsions under vigorous stirring) is isolated and then precipitated, for example, with acetone.

本發明之奈米顆粒適合很多最終用途。The nanoparticles of the invention are suitable for many end uses.

A.因為其發光性,彼適合多種光致發光應用及適於微光學、光電子及感應器系統中的應用。例如,本發明之顆粒可用於具有或不具有適合配合基改質(這使物質之標記可被偵測)的螢光或磷光研究。也可能使用本發明之顆粒以供製造發光塗層於例如傳導性或非傳導性物質之上,例如於玻璃、膜、箔片或ITO之上,或供製造發光基質(例如塑膠、玻璃等,其在藉由太陽光、UV光、雷射光或類似者激發之後顯出螢光或磷光),或適合與金屬/半導體聚合物結合用於光生伏打應用中。A. Because of its illuminance, it is suitable for a variety of photoluminescent applications and applications in micro-optics, optoelectronics and sensor systems. For example, the particles of the present invention can be used in fluorescent or phosphorescent studies with or without suitable ligand-based modifications which allow the labeling of the substance to be detected. It is also possible to use the particles of the invention for the manufacture of a luminescent coating on, for example, a conductive or non-conductive material, such as on a glass, film, foil or ITO, or for the manufacture of a luminescent substrate (eg plastic, glass, etc., It exhibits fluorescence or phosphorescence after excitation by sunlight, UV light, laser light or the like, or is suitable for use in photovoltaic applications in combination with metal/semiconductor polymers.

(1)提供發光奈米顆粒之分散液,然後(1) providing a dispersion of luminescent nanoparticle, and then

(2)將步驟(1)之後所得之分散液施加至基材上且至少部分地除去溶劑或分散劑,然後(2) applying the dispersion obtained after the step (1) to the substrate and at least partially removing the solvent or dispersant, and then

實施例Example ZnS:MnZnS: Mn

藉以下合成法,將說明所提出之從半胱胺及十二烷基苯磺酸(DBS)原位產生雙官能配合基的方法:合成:10mmol(2.254g)乙酸鋅二水合物,1.9mmol(0.478g)乙酸錳(II)四水合物及7.0mmol(0.859g)氯化半胱銨被溶在125ml H2 O中(溶液I)。7.0mmol(2.42g)之硫化鈉溶在25ml H2 O中(溶液II)。The following synthesis method will be used to illustrate the proposed method for the in situ generation of a bifunctional ligand from cysteamine and dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (DBS): synthesis: 10 mmol (2.254 g) of zinc acetate dihydrate, 1.9 mmol (0.478 g) Manganese (II) acetate tetrahydrate and 7.0 mmol (0.859 g) of cysteammonium chloride were dissolved in 125 ml of H 2 O (solution I). 7.0 mmol (2.42 g) of sodium sulfide was dissolved in 25 ml of H 2 O (solution II).

溶液I而後在攪拌下緩慢而逐滴地與4-十二烷基苯磺酸摻混(整個超過1.5小時,0.025ml/分鐘)。為沉澱奈米顆粒,溶液II而後以0.083ml/分鐘之速率在超過5小時之時間內緩慢地添加。所形成之分散液在95℃下迴流加熱3.5小時,以完成結晶且孤立奈米顆粒。Solution I was then slowly and dropwise blended with 4-dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid with stirring (entire over 1.5 hours, 0.025 ml/min). To precipitate the nanoparticles, solution II was then slowly added over a period of more than 5 hours at a rate of 0.083 ml/min. The resulting dispersion was heated under reflux at 95 ° C for 3.5 hours to complete crystallization and to isolate the nanoparticles.

形成透明奈米顆粒。為分離顆粒,添加乙醇且藉離心除去沉澱物。在60℃及低壓下進行顆粒之最終乾燥。Transparent nanoparticle is formed. To separate the particles, ethanol was added and the precipitate was removed by centrifugation. The final drying of the granules was carried out at 60 ° C and at a low pressure.

FTIR研究清楚地顯示:至少部分地已形成(安定)磺醯胺鍵,以致這些配合基可以結合半胱胺之優越且簡單之吸附作用與DBS之強的疏水作用。這些效果不能用個別之物質來達成。The FTIR study clearly shows that at least partially (stabilized) sulfonamide bonds have been formed such that these ligands can bind to the superior and simple adsorption of cysteamine and the strong hydrophobic action of DBS. These effects cannot be achieved with individual substances.

由此所得之顆粒可以極容易地以高的質量比例(最高達30重量%)再分散於聚合物溶液、疏水性單體等之中;有效的顆粒尺寸(依照DLS)則是10至20nm。在光致發光中,約30%之量子產率幾乎與經丙烯酸安定化之顆粒之參考值一般高[Althues et al.,Chem.Mater.,2006,18,168]。The particles thus obtained can be easily redispersed in a high mass ratio (up to 30% by weight) in a polymer solution, a hydrophobic monomer or the like; an effective particle size (according to DLS) is 10 to 20 nm. In photoluminescence, a quantum yield of about 30% is almost as high as a reference value for particles stabilized by acrylic acid [Althues et al., Chem. Mater., 2006, 18, 168].

由顆粒在紫外線激發下的激發及發射光譜顯明:顆粒尺寸已導致激發譜帶移向較高之能量(與微結晶材料相比),此外,由於Mn摻雜,實際上全部在發射中(約590nm)。由ZnS中之缺陷所引起之發射(約450nm)扮演有限的角色,且因此可以假設及良好之結晶品質。The excitation and emission spectra of the particles under UV excitation show that the particle size has caused the excitation band to shift to a higher energy (compared to the microcrystalline material) and, in addition, due to Mn doping, is actually all in the emission (about 590nm). Emissions (about 450 nm) caused by defects in ZnS play a limited role, and thus can be assumed and good crystal quality.
