Two-dimensional (2D) materials with narrow band gaps (∼0.3 eV) are of great importance for realizing ambipolar transistors and mid-infrared (MIR) detections. However, most of the 2D materials studied to date have band gaps that are too large. A few of the materials with suitable band gaps are not stable under ambient conditions. In this study, the layered Nb2SiTe4 is shown to be a stable 2D material with a band gap of 0.39 eV. Field-effect transistors based on few-layer Nb2SiTe4 show ambipolar transport with a similar magnitude of electron and hole current and a high charge-carrier mobility of ∼100 cm2 V–1 s–1 at room temperature. Optoelectronic measurements of the devices show clear response to an MIR wavelength of 3.1 μm with a high responsivity of ∼0.66 AW–1. These results establish Nb2SiTe4 as a good candidate for ambipolar devices and MIR detection.

In this work, the co-doping in both the anion and cation sites of SnTe has been implemented by addition of BiCl 3 and the effect of co-doping on thermoelectric performance of SnTe-based materials has been studied detailedly. Benefitting from the sharp reduction of carrier concentration and the increase of density of states due to the electron donor contribution of Bi and Cl, the electrical transport properties have been improved greatly; moreover, the hierarchical architectures such as the point defects , dislocations, nano-particles and phase/grain boundaries act as multiscale phonon scattering centers and effectively suppress the transport of phonons in wide frequency range, thus reduced the thermal conductivity dramatically. Due to the synergistic regulation of cation-anion co-doping, a maximum ZT of ~1.27 at 873 K has been obtained in the sample of SnTe doping with 4% BiCl 3 , which enhances by 182% in comparison with the pristine sample.

Nonlayered materials are constructed with chemical covalent bonds in all three dimensions, distinct from layered materials, which contain evident structural differences in the horizontal and vertical directions. As a consequence, liquid-phase exfoliation (LPE), a widely explored technique to obtain 2D layered nanoarchitectures, has not yet been fully characterized for the realization of 2D nonlayered nanostructures. Herein, by virtue of a typical chain-like structure of crystalline bulk Te with strong Te Te covalent bonds in intrachains and weak Van der Waals forces in interchains, ultrathin 2D nonlayered Te nanosheets are realized by means of an LPE method. The resultant 2D Te nanosheets possess a broad lateral dimension ranging from 41.5 to 177.5 nm and a thickness ranging from 5.1 to 6.4 nm, and its photoresponse properties are evaluated using photoelectrochemical measurements. The 2D Te nanosheets exhibit excellent photoresponse behaviors from the UV to the visible regime in association with strong time and cycle stability for the on/off switching behaviors. The fabrication approach of 2D Te nanosheets would arouse interest in exfoliating other nonlayered 2D materials, which would expand the family of 2D materials.

A new molecularly imprinted polymer electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor was developed for the detection of clopyralid (CPD) based on enzyme-biocatalyzed amplification. CdTe quantum dots were immobilized on the surface of an electrode by reaction with p -aminothiophenol preadsorbed on the electrode. Then a molecularly imprinted film was formed by electrochemical polymerization of o -phenylenediamine in the presence of CPD on the CdTe-modified gold electrode. During the analytical cycle, horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-labeled CPD was replaced by CPD in the sample. The amount of HRP on the molecularly imprinted polymer electrode decreased, and then less H 2 O 2 was catalytically decomposed. Subsequently, the ECL intensity of the CdTe–H 2 O 2 system was enhanced. There was a good linear relationship between ECL intensity and the concentration of CPD in the range from 2.0 × 10 -11 to 2.5 × 10 -10 mol/L and in the range from 2.5 × 10 -10 to 3.5 × 10 -8 mol/L. The detection limit was 4.1 × 10 -12 mol/L. The sensor was applied to determine CPD in vegetable samples.
A molecularly imprinted electrochemiluminescence sensor was fabricated for ultratrace clopyralid determination. The sensitivity was significantly improved with the enhancement of the ECL intensity of quantum dot via the enzymatic reaction of HRP

A magnetic fluorescent probe of CdTe QDs/nano-Fe 3 O 4 @MIPs was prepared using CdTe QDs and Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles as co -nucleus and molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) as specific recognition sites based on a reverse microemulsion method. With the specific enrichment and magnetic separation properties, the probe of CdTe QDs/nano-Fe 3 O 4 @MIPs was used to detect malachite green (MG) in fish samples. The TEM analysis showed that the particles of CdTe QDs/nano-Fe 3 O 4 @MIPs were spherical with average diameter around 53 nm, and a core-shell structure was well-shaped with several Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles and CdTe QDs embedded in each of the microsphere . Quick separation of the probes from solutions could be realized with a magnet, indicating the excellent magnetic property of CdTe QDs/nano-Fe 3 O 4 @MIPs. The probe exhibited high specific adsorption towards MG and excellent fluorescence emission at λ em 598 nm. The fluorescence of CdTe QDs/nano-Fe 3 O 4 @MIPs could be linearly quenched by MG at the concentrations from 0.025 to 1.5 μmol L −1 . The detection limit was 0.014 μmol L −1 . The average recovery of spiked MG in fish samples was 105.2%. The result demonstrated that the as-prepared CdTe QDs/nano-Fe 3 O 4 @MIPs could be used as a probe to the detection of trace MG in fish samples.

Due to their high persistence and ecotoxicity, developing a green and efficient approach to remove antibiotic residuals from aquatic environments becomes a challenging task. Efficient, visible light-active and reusable semiconductor photocatalyst is a promising solution to address this issue. In this work, Z-scheme CdTe/TiO 2 heterostructure photocatalysts were prepared by a hydrothermal method and the photocatalytic performance of as-prepared samples was evaluated by degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride (TC-H) under visible-light irradiation. The optimal performance was achieved for CdTe/TiO 2 heterostructure photocatalyst grown at 120 °C, which can decompose 78% TC-H after 30 min irradiation. The improved photocatalytic performance can be ascribed to synergistic effects including excellent visible-light absorption, efficient charge separation and relatively high redox potentials of electrons and holes associated with Z-scheme charge transfer mechanism. The possible degradation byproducts and stability of CdTe/TiO 2 heterostructures for TC-H degradation are also elucidated. This Z-scheme CdTe/TiO 2 photocatalysts may present a new strategy for degradation of antibiotics, providing an invaluable methodology for alleviation of aquatic environment pollution.

Ditelluride bonds have been reported as dynamic covalent bonds which could undergo reversible formation and cleavage at room-temperature. In this work, a novel self-healing ditelluride-containing polyurethane was synthesized by incorporating ditelluride bond into its main chain. Base on the dynamic nature of ditelluride bonds, this polyurethane could self-heal in darkness at room temperature without external intervention. The study on the exchange mechanism revealed that the reversible exchange of ditelluride bonds and the intermolecular hydrogen bonding were the two main factors that responsible for the self-healing behavior of this polyurethane. The ditelluride content and chain mobility of the polymer have a significant effect on its self-healing property. The unique non-intervention self-healing properties and wild applicability makes this polymers ideal for environment friendly smart systems.

Although various analytical methods have been established based on quantum dots (QDs), most were conducted in solution, which is inadequate for storage/transportation and rapid analysis. Moreover, the potential environmental problems caused by abandoned QDs cannot be ignored. In this paper, a reusable xerogel containing CdTe with strong emission is established by introducing host–guest interactions between QDs and polymer matrix. This xerogel shows high QDs loading capacity without decrease or redshift in fluorescence (the maximum of loading is 50 wt % of the final xerogel), which benefits from the steric hindrance of β-cyclodextrin (βCD) molecules. Host–guest interactions immobilize QDs firmly, resulting in the excellent fluorescence retention of the xerogel. The good detecting performance and reusability mean this xerogel could be employed as a versatile analysis platform (for quantitative and qualitative analyses). In addition, the xerogel can be self-healed by the aid of water.Keywords:quantum dots;host–guest interactions;xerogel

A dual-emission molecularly imprinted mesoporous microspheres was designed for specific recognition and highly sensitive and selective determination of malachite green (MG). In this ratiometric fluorescent sensor, green fluorescent CdTe quantum dots (QDs)-doped into the core of silica mesoporous microspheres serves as a reference and provides a built-in correction for environmental effects. The other red fluorescent CdTe QDs are embedded around the pores of the silica microspheres as analytical tag. Then, molecular imprinting technique are integrated with the ratiometric sensor to provide high selectivity for MG . When the photoluminescence (PL) of red CdTe QDs is selectively quenched in the presence of MG, a visual color change from orange to green can be observed by naked eyes. The sensing method has a linear response in the range of 27.4 nM–137 μM with a detection limit of 17.0 nM. Moreover, there is an excellent recognition specificity for MG over other water pollutants. The applicability of this method is evaluated through the determination of MG in river water and lake water samples with satisfactory results.

Malachite green (MG) is an industrial dye, but has been once abused in aquaculture for disease treatment. Because MG and its metabolite, leucomalachite green (LMG), present great harm to human health, it is essential to rapidly and accurately detect MG and LMG residues in aquatic products. However, the simultaneous screening of MG and LMG is still a challenge to date. In this work, a dual-template molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) coated CdTe QDs was developed and applied as a nano-probe to simultaneously detect MG and LMG in fish samples via normal and synchronous fluorescence quenching. The molar ratios of templates (MG and LMG) to monomer (APTES) and cross-linker (TEOS), and the amount of CdTe QDs in the probe preparation were optimized. A normal fluorescence emission at 600 nm could be linearly quenched by MG, while the synchronous fluorescence emission at the wavelength interval of 340 nm could be quenched by both LMG and MG. The detection limits of MG and LMG were 17 nmol L −1 and 28 nmol L −1 (3 σ , n = 9), respectively. Based on the equations of Stern-Volmer, MG and LMG could be simultaneously detected without any conversion treatment. The recoveries of MG and LMG in fish samples ranged from 92% to 107% and from 91% to 108%, respectively. The results demonstrated that the as-prepared dual-template CdTe@MIP could be used as a fluorescent probe to rapidly and simultaneously detect MG and LMG in fish samples.

In this work, the effect of core size on the fluorescence emission properties of CdTe@CdS core@shell quantum dots was investigated under the condition of different shell thickness and pH values. Both CdTe and CdTe@CdS core@shell QDs were synthesized in aqueous phase by a simple method, whose optical features were characterized by absorption and fluorescence spectra . High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) were utilized to study the structure and composition of the as-prepared QDs. We can conclude that a smaller initial core exhibits a greater potential for optimizing both fluorescence intensity enhancement and red shift. What's more, there is an optimal shell thickness for the strongest fluorescence intensity while a thicker shell contributes to a larger fluorescence red shift. The optimal pH value is 10.5 for the fluorescence intensity enhancement of the core@shell QDs and a higher pH value is an advantage to expedite the growth rate of CdS shell.
