Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 13Highly Luminescent ZnCdTeS Nanocrystals With Wide Spectral Tunability for Efficient Color-Conversion White-Light(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2021-09-28) Soheyli, Ehsan; Zargoush, Sirous; Yazici, Ahmet Faruk; Sahraei, Reza; Mutlugun, EvrenCdTe-based semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) with size and composition-dependent efficient bandgap properties are historically mature nanomaterials for colloidal optoelectronic applications. In this work, we present the highly luminescent quaternary ZnCdTeS NCs with tunable emission across a wide visible spectrum from green to red spectral range. Prepared via a direct aqueous-based approach, a second capping agent of trisodium citrate (TSC) was used to enhance the photoluminescence (PL) emission efficiency, the chemical stability, and to spectrally widen the coverage of the emission spectra of ZnCdTeS NCs. Adding TCS created a remarkable blue shift from 572 nm in the absence of TSC, to 548 nm. On the other hand, upon optimization of experimental parameters, superior ZnCdTeS NCs with a narrow PL profile typically less than 50 nm, the high quantum efficiency of 76%, and tunable emission from 515-to-645 nm were synthesized in an aqueous solvent. The keynotes were the superior and reproducible luminescent properties for the core only NCs, without shell and using relatively low reaction temperatures. It was shown that in the suggested synthesis method, the high efficiency emitted color of ZnCdTeS NCs can be easily controlled from 515-to-650 nm with excellent stability against harsh conditions. The biexponential decay profiles of samples prepared at different reaction temperatures demonstrated that the average recombination lifetime is below 40 ns and increases with the growth of the ZnCdTeS NCs. Results reveal that the excitonic energy levels have the main role in the recombination process. Finally, to demonstrate the functional advantages of the prepared NCs in optoelectronics, the NCs were used to fabricate color-conversion white light-emitting diodes. The color coordinate of the device is recorded as (0.4951, 0.3647) with CRI of 91, CCT of 1954 K, and LER of 251 lm W-1 by employing only two distinct emitters for color conversion.Article Citation - WoS: 17Citation - Scopus: 16Excitation-Independent Deep-Blue Emitting Carbon Dots With 62% Emission Quantum Efficiency and Monoexponential Decay Profile for High-Resolution Fingerprint Identification(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2022-08-15) Savaedi, Soheyla; Soheyli, Ehsan; Zheng, Guangsong; Lou, Qing; Sahraei, Reza; Shan, ChongxinReaching emissive nanomaterials at short wavelengths with a high quantum efficiency (QE) is an attractive task for researchers. This is more demanding in carbon dots (CDs) with diverse applications that usually emit photons at wavelengths around 450-620 nm. In this study, deep blue-emissive doped-CDs (d-CDs) with high photoluminescence (PL) QE up to 62% and excitation-independent properties were prepared via a short-time microwave irradiation method. The prepared CDs showed simultaneous amorphous and crystalline features, with average sizes of 4.75 nm and bright emission color located at 422 nm. It was found that the presence of sulfur-related dopant levels plays a key role in emission properties in such a way that the PL signal drops significantly in the absence of N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) as a dopant source. On the other hand, the trisodium citrate dihydrate (TSC) was selected as a carbon source to form the main carbon skeleton without it no emission was recorded. Monoexponential-fitted recombination trend with an average lifetime of about 10 ns also confirmed excellent PL emission properties with uniform energy levels and minimized defect-contributing recombinations. The practical use of the as-prepared N, S-doped CDs was assessed in fingerprint detection indicating a bright and clear scheme for both core and termination regions of the fingerprint. Simplicity, cost-effectiveness, high-product yield, low toxicity, along with high/stable PL quantum efficiency in deep-blue wavelengths, and demonstrated ability for fingerprint purposes, support the prospective application of these dual doped-CDs for sensing and bioimaging applications.
