Facile synthesis and characterization of a new class of zirconium quantum dots (Zr QDs) for hydrogen peroxide sensing
Source abstract
Abstract
The zirconium QDs have been synthesized using the chemical reduction method by using sodium borohydride as a reducing agent. The purity of the synthesized QDs was determined using EDS and EDX techniques. The XRD data indicate that the Zr QDs exist in both cubic and hexagonal lattice forms. The morphology of the Zr QDs is characterized by HRTEM and FESEM as homogeneous, small, spherical QDs of 5 nm to 6 nm diameter. The QDs exhibit chemiluminescence. The H2O2 sensitivities of Zr QDs have been studied. The changes in the intensity of emission spectra of Zr QDs at different wavelengths (406 nm, 430 nm, and 413 nm) satisfy the Stern–Volmer equation, thus proving to be promising candidates for their applications in biological science and as energy materials.
