摘要

In this new millennium, we are faced with the challenge of cleaning our natural water and air resources. While we enjoy the comforts and benefits that chemistry has provided us, from composites to computer chips, from drugs to dyes, we are faced with the task of treating wastes generated during manufacturing processes and the proper disposal of various products and byproducts. Nanotechnology can provide us with ways to purify the air and water resources by utilizing semiconductor nanoparticles as catalysts and/or sensing systems. A variety of sensors for environmental applications have been developed in recent years, including SnO_2 based semiconductor systems that have been used as conductometric gas sensors and a TiO_2 electrode for determining the chemical oxygen demand (COD) of water. Semiconductor nanostructures have drawn attention in recent years for their potential as chemical sensors. Their exploitation as chemical sensors was prompted by the discovery of photoluminescence from porous-Si and subsequent observation that many organic and inorganic molecules quench this emission. The photoluminescence in porous-Si arises from charge carrier recombination in the quantum confined nanosized environments. Both energy- and electron transfer mechanisms have been proposed to explain the quenching by organic molecules. Sailor et al have attributed the quenching of the PL by aromatic molecules such as anthracene, pyrene, benzanthracene etc. to energy transfer to the triplet state of the organic substrate. El-Shall and coworkers have shown that the emission from silicon nanocrystals is quenched by aromatic nitrocompounds via electron transfer from the conduction band of the silicon nanocrystal to the vacant orbitals of the quenchers.
