Lead-free copper-based quantum dots (QDs)/nanocrystals (NCs) with a facile preparation method and low price are promising candidates for replacing traditional expensive phosphors for applications in white light-emitting diodes (W-LEDs). In this article, the strategy of secondary excitation of red CIS/ZnS core-shell QDs using green CsCuCl NCs and blue CsCuI NCs was employed. UV-excited W-LEDs with a unique (GB)R layered structure was successfully prepared using green CsCuCl NCs, blue CsCuI NCs and red CIS/ZnS core-shell QD composite materials with different luminescence wavelengths. At the same time, the properties of the synthesized CuInS (CIS) QDs, CuInS/ZnS core-shell QDs and CsCuX (X = C1, Br, I) NCs were characterized and the effect of myristic acid (MA) on the optical properties was discussed. This study has an important reference significance on how to use three different quantum dots/nanocrystals to fabricate W-LEDs.

The development of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) luminophores is a fascinating and promising topic in electrochemiluminescence (ECL) bioanalysis. Herein, the AIE-active but water-insoluble [Ir(bt)₂(acac)] (bt = 2-phenylbenzothiazole, acac = acetylacetonate) was encapsulated within poly(styrene-maleic anhydride) (PSMA) using a simple nanoprecipitation method. This encapsulation strategy could effectively limit the free motion of Ir(bt)₂(acac) and trigger the aggregation-induced electrochemiluminescence (AIECL) effect.

Optical Properties of Phenylthiolate-Capped CdS Nanoparticles.

Using many-body perturbation theory, we study the optical properties of phenylthiolate-capped cadmium sulfide nanoparticles to understand the origin of the experimentally observed blue shift in those properties with decreasing particle size. We show that the absorption spectra predicted by many-body perturbation theory agree well with the experimentally measured spectra. The results of our calculations demonstrate that all low-energy excited states correspond to a mixture of two fundamental types of excitations: intraligand and ligand-to-metal charge-transfer excitations.

A ratiometric fluorescent nanoprobe (CDs-Rho), synthesized through the simple covalent amide linkage between carbon dots (CDs) and pH-sensitive rhodamine dye (Rho), was designed for the precise sensing and imaging of extremely alkaline environments. The sensing mechanism involves the opposite pH-dependent fluorescence changes in CDs and Rho, respectively, coupled with pH-regulated FRET efficiency from CDs to Rho. The nanoprobe features a wide pH response window from pH 7.

Influenza A virus (IAV) and influenza B virus (IBV) with similar symptoms of infection caused a serious disease burden and economic losses in annual epidemic season, so it is important to quickly and accurately detect and distinguish between IAV and IBV during influenza season. Herein, the quantum dot microspheres (QDMS) were synthesized and applied to lateral flow immunoassays (LFIA), and a point-of-care (POC) biosensor that can discriminately and simultaneously diagnose IAV and IBV within 10 min was established. A double-sandwich QDMS nanotags was synthesized by immobilizing hydrophobic quantum dots (QDs) with chemical bonding method on a silica sphere template with an outer silica shell protection showed excellent stability and high fluorescence.
