We have synthesized water soluble zinc selenium (ZnSe) nanocrystals by using mercaotoacetic acid (TGA) as the stabilizer. The synthesized ZnSe nanocrystals were co-doped with poly[2-methoxy-5-(2'-ethylhexyloxy-p-phenylenevinylene)] (MEH-PPV) to fabricate an organic/ inorganic hybrid multilayer light-emitting device (LED). The structure of the device was indium-tin-oxide (ITO)/poly (ethylene-dioxythiophene):poly(styrenesul-fonate) (PEDOT:PSS)/MEH-PPV:ZnSe/bathocuproine (BCP)/tris-(8-hydroxylquinoline)-aluminum (Alq3)/Al. We demonstrate that the device has a lower driving voltage and increased current densities and power efficiencies owing to the co-doped ZnSe quantum dots. We obtained good efficiency of the devices when the quality ratio of MEH-PPV and ZnSe quantum dots was 1:1.

We propose a temperature-dependent optimization procedure for the second-nearest neighbor (2NN) * tight-binding (TB) theory parameters to calculate the effects of strain, structure dimensions, and alloy composition on the band structure of heterostructure spherical core/shell quantum dots (QDs). We integrate the thermoelastic theory of solids with the 2NN * TB theory to calculate the strain, core and shell dimensions, and composition effects on the band structure of binary/ternary CdSe/Cd(Zn)S and ZnSe/Zn(Cd)S QDs at any temperature. We show that the 2NN * TB theory with optimized parameters greatly improves the prediction of the energy dispersion curve at and in the vicinity of L and X symmetry points.

Developing heavy-metal-free materials with wide tunable emission is important to light-emitters. The alloying method is utilized in ZnSe magic size clusters (MSCs) with Te to form ZnSeTe and manipulate the band gap structure in ZnSe. The growth of ZnTe on alloyed ZnSeTe quantum dots (QDs) forms ZnSeTe/ZnTe core/shell nanostructures, showing the tunable photoluminescence emission peak from 450 to 760 nm with the different thicknesses of ZnTe shell.

Semiconductor-metal hybrid nanoparticles (HNPs) are promising materials for photocatalytic applications, such as water splitting for green hydrogen generation. While most studies have focused on Cd containing HNPs, the realization of actual applications will require environmentally compatible systems. Using heavy-metal free ZnSe-Au HNPs as a model, we investigate the dependence of their functionality and efficiency on the cocatalyst metal domain characteristics ranging from the single-atom catalyst (SAC) regime to metal-tipped systems.

Liver cancer is globally the most frequent fatal malignancy, and its identification is critical for making clinical decisions about treatment options. Pathological diagnostics and contemporary imaging technologies provide insufficient information for tumor identification. Hydrogen peroxide (HO), an emerging biomarker is a powerful oxidant found in the tumor microenvironment, and stimulates the invasion, proliferation, and metastasis of liver cancer cells.

Article Synopsis
- Maize is crucial for regions facing drought, which can drastically reduce its yield due to oxidative stress.
- Selenium and zinc oxide nanoparticles have antioxidant properties that help protect maize during drought, but the effect of zinc selenide quantum dots (ZnSe QDs) needed research.
- This study found that using ZnSe QDs at 20 mg/L improved photosynthesis, reduced oxidative damage, and increased maize seed yield by 26%, suggesting that ZnSe could effectively mitigate drought effects.
