Abstract:

The cystea mine-capped CdTe quantum dots (QDs) undergo spontaneous self-aggregation via NH-N hydrogen bonds. In the presence of F-, the aggregates disassembled due to the substitution of NH-F hydrogen bonds for NH-N hydrogen bonds. Thus, the hydrodynamic size of the QDs aggregates was decreased gradually as the concentration of F- increased. Here, a one-step sensitive method using dynamic light scattering(DLS) was introduced for directly detection of F-. The detection limit of this method was ca. 20 nmol/L. It was ca. 2 orders of magnitude lower than that of fluorscence methods and F- selective electrode, as reported previously.
