TGA capped CdTe QDs have been encapsulated in miroporous ZIF-8, with no obvious deterioration of their photoluminescence property. The resulted CdTe QD@ZIF-8 composites show a higher luminescent stability in various buffer solution. The material has successfully been used as a luminescent indicator for the detection of Cu and Fe ions. The luminescence of CdTe QD@ZIF-8 composite quenches only in the presence of Cu or Fe ions. The linear ranges of detection have been estimated as 1~50 uM for Cu ions and 1~60 uM for Fe ions, respectively. A "competing transmission" mechanism has been proposed to explain the selectivity of the sensor to detecting Cu and Fe ions. Luminescent quenching can only occurred when the bonding power of QD surface surpasses the adsorptivity of the outside ZIF-8 to the metal ions.

A dual-signal aptamer-based assay utilizing colorimetric and fluorescence techniques was developed for the determination of zearalenone (ZEN). The CdTe quantum dots, serving as the fluorescent signal source, were surface-modified onto FeO@SiO and subsequently functionalized with the aptamer. The COF-Au was modified with complementary chain, which possessed peroxide (POD)-like enzyme properties, and could catalyze the peroxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to ox TMB, resulting in the generation of colorimetric signals.

Compared to single-mode detection, dual-mode sensing strategies have garnered increasing attention from researchers due to their superior detection accuracy and reliability. Exosomes, as non-invasive biomarkers, hold significant potential for disease diagnosis. However, sensitive and precise detection of exosomes still presents considerable technical challenges.

Photodetectors (PDs) based on mix-dimensional heterojunctions (MDHJs) built from 2D layered materials and covalent-bonded semiconductors show the prospect of compensating the intrinsic weakness of 2D materials to realize their full potential. However, there is an open issue to improve the temporal response of PDs while maintaining high gain and sensitivity. Herein, photoconductive type MDHJs PDs with 2D InSe and covalent-bonded CdTe thin film are designed and fabricated in which InSe is the active layer and CdTe is the medium gain one.

Amplified spontaneous emission of CdTe and CdTe-Ag quantum dot composites were compared for increasing the optical stripe length, whereby optical gain coefficients for various emission wavelengths were obtained. In the case of CdTe-Ag nanoparticle composites, we observed that plasmonic coupling causes both optical enhancement and quenching at different wavelengths, where the amplified spontaneous emission intensity becomes enhanced at short wavelengths but suppressed at long wavelengths (>600 nm). To analyze the logistic stripe length dependence of amplified spontaneous emission intensity, we used a differential method to obtain the gain coefficient beyond the amplification range.

Precise material design and surface engineering play a crucial role in enhancing the performance of optoelectronic devices. These efforts are undertaken to particularly control the optoelectronic properties and regulate charge carrier dynamics at the surface and interface. In this study, we used ultrafast scanning electron microscopy (USEM), which is a powerful and highly sensitive surface tool that provides unique information about the photoactive charge dynamics of material surfaces selectively and spontaneously in real time and space in high spatial and temporal resolution.
