Novel Method for Linking CdS Nanoparticles at Liquid–Liquid Interface

Chemical Purification of ZnO Nanoparticles by Dialyzing Treatments and Their Use in Fabricating Luminescent Antireflective Nanocomposite Thin Films

“…We report here a method to obtain chemically purer ZnO nanoparticles by ultrafiltration with a dialyzing treatment. Originally, the dialysis was diverted to obtain metal chalcogenide nanoparticles in solution synthesis by removing unreacted chemicals or unnecessary ions. − Then the method has been applied to metal oxide nanoparticles. − However, chemical processes involved in the dialysis have not been clarified yet. In the present study, ZnO nanoparticles were first prepared from Zn(CH 3 COO) 2 ·2H 2 O, LiOH, and ethanol.…”

Fabrication of Jingle‐Bell‐Shaped Core–Shell Nanoparticulate Films and Molecular‐Size‐Responsive Photoluminescence Quenching of Cadmium Sulfide Cores

“…Nanoparticles are advantageous for devices since they have relatively large specific surface areas to adsorb chemical species. However, it is also well known that such nanoparticles are unstable and tend to coalesce into larger particles because of their high surface energy, unless stabilizing agents (such as thiol compounds3–8, 12, 13 or a trialkylphosphine oxide [9–11] ) are strongly adsorbed onto the particles. However, for chemical sensing based on the photoluminescence properties of semiconductor nanoparticles, as well as for other devices utilizing the particle surface as a chemical reaction site, the presence of organic layers of stabilizing agents adsorbed on the surface is unfavorable because they may act as a barrier for the diffusion of target molecules from the solution phase to the surface of nanoparticles.…”
