摘要

We report the synthesis of spherical ZnTe nanocrystals and the successive coating with a ZnS shell to afford\udcore/shell quantum dots. These nanocrystals can represent alternatives to cadmium-based quantum dots\udbut their preparation and properties are challenging and relatively unexplored. The effect of various\udsynthetic parameters on the reaction outcome was investigated, and the resulting nanocrystals were\udcharacterized by TEM, EDX, XPS, and spectroscopic measurements. The optical data indicate that these\udcore/shell quantum dots belong to type I, i.e., both the electron and the hole are confined within the\udZnTe core. Both the ZnTe core and ZnTe/ZnS core/shell quantum dot samples absorb in the visible\udregion and are not luminescent. The ZnS shell preserves the optical properties of the core and improves\udthe chemical and photochemical stability of the nanoparticles in air equilibrated solution, whereas they\udappear to be quite fragile in the solid state. XPS results have evidenced the distinct nature of core and\udcore/shell QDs, confirming the formation of QDs with shells of different thicknesses and their evolution\uddue to oxidation upon air exposure. Anodic photocurrent generation was observed when an ITO\udelectrode functionalized with ZnTe/ZnS nanocrystals was irradiated in the visible region in a\udphotoelectrochemical cell, indicating that the quantum dots perform spectral sensitization of the\udelectron injection into the ITO electrode. Conversely, cathodic photocurrent generation was not\udobserved; hence, the QD-modified electrode performs electrical rectification under a photon energy input.
