研究目的
Investigating the quantum confinement of CTS quantum dots using natural dyes as shell material to tune their bandgap and confinement energies for potential applications in solar cells.
研究成果
The study successfully demonstrated the tuning of bandgap and confinement energies of CTS quantum dots by forming core-shell structures with natural dyes. The CTS/natural dye core-shell quantum dots showed promising optical properties for applications in solar cells, particularly in the buffer layer due to their high transmittance across a wide range of wavelengths.
研究不足
The study is limited to the use of specific natural dyes (onion and beetroot skin dyes) and their interaction with CTS quantum dots. The extent of hydrogen bonding and the resulting shell thickness may vary with different dyes or capping agents.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
A green colloidal synthesis technique was used to prepare tetragonal CTS quantum dots. The quantum dots were then treated with natural dyes (onion and beetroot skin dyes) to form core-shell structures.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
CTS quantum dots in the size range of
3：7nm-2nm were synthesized. Natural dyes from onion and beetroot skin were used as shell materials. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Transmission Electron Microscope (JEOL/JEM), FT-IR Spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific Nicolet iS50), UV-VIS-NIR Spectrophotometer (Cary 5000 Varian).
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The synthesis involved mixing millimolar solutions of copper chloride and tin chloride, adding a capping agent (CTAB), and then adding sodium sulphide dropwise. The mixture was stirred to form CTS quantum dots, which were then treated with natural dyes.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The optical properties were analyzed using absorption, photoluminescence, and infrared spectroscopic techniques. The transitions were analyzed using a theoretical model based on the Schrodinger equation for particles in a spherical quantum well.
