Abstract
A novel chemiluminescence (CL) performance of CdTe/CdS/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) with periodate (KIO4) was studied. Effects of concentration and pH on the CL system were investigated. Electron spin resonance (ESR) and the effects of radical scavenger analysis were employed for identification of intermediate species. The CL spectra for this system showed only one maximum emission peak centered around 620nm, which was similar with photoluminescence (PL) spectra of CdTe/CdS/ZnS QDs. The CL of CdTe/CdS/ZnS QDs was induced by direct chemical oxidation and the possible mechanism could be explained by radiative recombination of injected holes and electrons. This investigation not only provided new sight into the optical characteristics of CdTe/CdS/ZnS QDs, but also broadened their potential optical utilizations.
