Abstract:

An electrochemically analytical method based on the glass nanopore was proposed to determine the single CdSe/ZnS quantum dots(CdSe/ZnS QDs) with various sizes. Potential is focused near the tip of electrochemically confined nanopore, and CdSe/ZnS QDs with positive surface charge are driven out of the glass nanopore. In consequence, the positive surface charges of CdSe/ZnS QDs leads to the ionic current redistribution, which contributes to the increase in the ionic current. The difference of the increase in the ionic current is resulted from the difference of surface charges. The results reveal the capability of glass nanopore for the real-time single nanoparticle sizing.

Key words: Glass nanopore, Electrochemically confined effect, Single nanoparticle sizing, CdSe/ZnS quantum dots
