Abstract

CdS nanocrystallites could be formed and assembled into nanoparticle strings and hexagons on natural silk fibroin fiber (SFF) through a room- temperature bio-inspired process. Herein, the bioma- terial SFF served as reactive substrate, not only provides the in situ formation sites for CdS nano- crystallites, but also directs the arrangement of nanocrystalline CdS simultaneously. The photolumi- nescence (PL) of the resulting nanocomposites CdS/SFF is investigated extensively. The PL peaks observed from CdS nanoparticle strings are similar to those of separate CdS nanoparticles, corresponding to the band-edge emission of their individual building blocks (QD-CdS). Moreover, CdS nanoparticle hexa- gons perform a red-shifted and broadened emission peak.
