THE SURFACE MODIFICATION OF CdSe–TGA QUANTUM DOTS WITH MULTIDENTATE BIOPOLYMER LIGAND BASED ON SALEP: AN EASY ROUTE FOR ENHANCING FLUORESCENCE INTENSITY

    The optical properties of CdSe quantum dots (QDs) capped by thioglycolic acid (TGA) before and after surface modification with poly (acrylic acid) grafted onto salep (salep-g-PAA), as a biopolymer-based multidentate ligand, were examined. The results showed that the fluorescence intensity as well as the stability of CdSe QDs was incredibly increased after surface modification with the biopolymer-based ligand. To provide more evidence for the occurrence of surface modification, the prepared CdSe–salep-g-PAA QDs were characterized by thermo-gravimetric analysis (TG), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR).
