This communication describes a facile route for the synthesis of manganese sulphide (MnS) quantum dots (QDs) contained in poly(N-vinyl carbazole) (PNVC) nanocomposites. MnS QDs were synthesized using the single-source precursor method by thermolysing tetramethylthiuram disulfide manganese complex in hexadecylamine (HDA). Two different methods were used for the synthesis of MnS QD incorporated PNVC nanocomposites. The first method entailed the stirring of a mixture of MnS QDs and PNVC in chloroform (CHCl3) at room temperature and the second method was the refluxing of MnS QDs and PNVC solution in CHCl3 at an elevated temperature. A field emission electron microscope (FESEM) study revealed that the dispersion of MnS QDs in a PNVC matrix was improved in the case of nanocomposites prepared by the second method. The optical properties of pure PNVC were significantly altered for the case of nanocomposite prepared by the second route.

Three different modified solar cells have been passivated with copper sulfide (CuS) on a TiO electrode and manganese sulfide (γ-MnS) hexagonal as photon absorbers. The MnS were prepared using (a-c) bis(N-Piperl-N-p-anisildithiocarbamato)Manganese(II) Complexes Mn[N-Piper-N-p-Anisdtc] as (MnS_1), N-p-anisidinyldithiocarbamato Mn[N-p-anisdtc] as (MnS_2) and N-piperidinyldithiocarbamato Mn[N-piperdtc] as (MnS_3). The corresponding passivated films were denoted as CM-1, CM-2, and CM-3.

Exploring the construction of an interface with bright emission, fabulous stability, and good function to develop high-performance electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensors for tumor biomarkers is in high demand but faces a huge challenge. Herein, we report an oriented attachment and in situ self-assembling strategy for one-step fabrication of CdTe QD-encapsulated Hf polymer membrane onto an ITO surface (Hf-CP/CdTe QDs/APS/ITO). Hf-CP/CdTe QDs/APS/ITO is fascinating with excellent stability, high ECL emission, and specific adsorption toward ssDNA against dsDNA and mononucleotides (mNs).

Multiplex microRNAs (miRNAs) detection is beneficial for early diagnosis and prognosis of cancer. Herein, duplex-specific nuclease (DSN) powered 3D DNA walker and quantum dots (QDs) barcodes were designed for the simultaneous detection of miRNAs in a homogeneous electrochemical sensor. In the proof-of-concept experiment, the effective active area of the as-prepared graphene aerogel-modified carbon paper (CP-GAs) electrode was ∼14.

Hybrid nanostructures composed of quantum dots (QDs) and metal nanoparticles (MNS) have gained immense research interest because of their unique optical properties. In optoelectronic applications, quenching and enhancement in QD photoluminescence (PL) are critical parameters. Herein, gold nanoparticles coating a silica layer decorated with quantum dots (AuNPs@SiO@QDs) are prepared with diverse SiO thickness and QD diameter for investigating the exciton-plasmon interaction.
