In recent years, the study of Cu (Ӏ) precursors in high-performance CdTe thin-film solar cell devices has received increasing attention. However, few studies have been reported on nanoscale Cu (I) precursors in large-area CdTe devices (≥1 cm 2 ). Here, three different Cu (Ӏ) nano precursors have been rapidly prepared by solution method (CuCl ethanol solution, CuI acetonitrile solution, and CuSCN aqueous ammonia solution) and their effects on the performance of commercial large-area CdTe thin-film solar cells have been investigated. The results show that the distribution amount and uniformity of the nano precursor particles on the CdTe back surface have a large impact on the device performance. The CuCl nanoparticles are more uniformly distributed and the device performance is more excellent. CuI nanoparticles easily formed clusters at grain boundaries. Denser distribution of CuSCN nanoparticles . The thermal diffusion conditions (temperature, time and precursor concentration) have a significant effect on the device performance, but the most reasonable thermal diffusion conditions tend to be the same for all devices. This suggests that the thermal diffusion conditions are determined by the nature of the CdTe absorber layer itself and are not interfered by different nano precursors.

Cadmium-caused environmental pollution and diseases have always been worldwide problems. Thus it is extremely urgent to establish a cheap, rapid, simple and selective detection method for trace cadmium in drinking water . In this study, a fluorescence “turn-on” method based on ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA)-etched CdTe@CdS quantum dots (QDs) was designed to detect Cd 2+ . High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were utilized for chemical and structural characterization of the as-prepared QDs. Based on chemical etching of EDTA on the surface of CdTe@CdS QDs, specific Cd 2+ recognition sites were produced, and then results in fluorescence quenching . The introduction of Cd 2+ could identify these sites and restore the fluorescence of the EDTA-QDs system. Under the optimum conditions, the nanoprobe shows a linear response range from 0.05 to 9 μM with a very low detection limit of 0.032 μM. In addition, the reported fluorescence probe in this work displays a good selectivity for trace Cd 2+ over other metal ions and an admirable practicability in real water samples.

A method was established for detecting the content of nitrofurazone (NFZ) by fluorescence quenching of N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC) coated cadmium telluride quantum dots (CdTe QDs). By means of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and multispectral methods such as fluorescence and ultraviolet visible spectra (UV–vis), the synthesized CdTe QDs were characterized. The quantum yield ( φ ) of CdTe QDs was measured as 0.33 by reference method. The CdTe QDs had a better stability, the RSD of fluorescence intensity was 1.51% in three months. NFZ quenching the emission light of CdTe QDs was observed. The analyses of Stern-Volmer and time-resolved fluorescence suggested the quenching was static. The binding constants ( K a ) between NFZ and CdTe QDs were 1.14 × 10 4 (293 K), 0.74 × 10 4 (303 K) and 0.51 × 10 4 (313 K) L mol −1 . The hydrogen bond or van der Waals force was the dominated binding force between NFZ and CdTe QDs. The interaction was further characterized by UV–vis absorption as well as Fourier transform infrared spectra (FT-IR). Using fluorescence quenching effect, a quantitative determination of NFZ was carried out. The optimal experimental conditions were studied and determined as following: pH was 7 and contact time was 10 min. The effects of reagent addition sequence, temperature and the foreign substances including some metals (Mg 2+ ; Zn 2+ ; Ca 2+ ; K + ; Cu 2+ ), glucose, bovine serum albumin (BSA) and furazolidone on the determination were studied. There was a high correlation between the concentration of NFZ (0.40 – 39.63 μg mL −1 ) and F 0 / F with the standard curve F 0 / F = 0.0262 c + 0.9910 ( r = 0.9994). The detection limit (LOD) reached 0.04 μg mL −1 (3 S 0 / S ). The contents of NFZ in beef and bacteriostatic liquid were detected. The recovery of NFZ was 95.13% – 103.03% and RSD was 0.66% – 1.37% ( n = 5).

Electrochemical detection of human-IgG via biosensors is vital in clinical diagnostics, owing to their simple equipment, facile operation, high selectivity, economical, short diagnostic time, fast response, and easy miniaturization, but the need to improve sensitivity for protein detection is still a barrier limiting its wider practical applications. A hypersensitized electrochemical biosensor based on steric effects for IgG detection was developed in this work. The results indicate that IgG-modified sig-DNA attached to CdTe quantum dots (CdTe-sig-DNA) limited the ability of CdTe-sig-DNA or CdTe-sig-DNA-IgG conjugate to hybridize through the captured DNA strand (cap-DNA) immobilized on a chitosan/nitrogen-doped carbon nanocomposite (CS/N-C) modified glassy carbon electrode surface (GCE). The concentration of IgG based on CdTe concentration was detected by differential pulse anode stripping voltammetry (DPASV) on the electrode surface. The efficiency for hybridizing CdTe-sig-DNA with cap-DNA was found to be logarithmically inverse to the concentration of IgG attached. A highly sensitive and selective detection of IgG from 5 pM to 50 μM with a relatively low detection limit of 1.7 pM was achieved. Therefore, the steric hindrance effect of IgG limited the quantity of DNA that could be functionalized on CdTe QDs, significantly improving the signal, and providing a practical strategy for the clinical analysis of IgG.

In this work, a sensitive fluorescent sensor for the detection of ciprofloxacin (CIP) was developed by wrapping the surface of CdTe quantum dots (QDs) with molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs). The [email protected] were synthesized via a simple sol–gel method using 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) as the functional monomer and tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) as the crosslinker. The fluorescence emission of the probe was at 643 nm. Linear calibration curves were obtained in the range of 0.5–24 μ M for CIP with the detection limit of 0.23 μ M (S/N = 3). The fluorescent probe was successfully applied to the determination of CIP in seawater samples with the spiked recoveries ranging from 98.2% to 110.6% and the relative standard deviation (RSD) was less than 10.7%. It is the first time that QDs with molecularly imprinted polymers ( [email protected] ) were introduced for separation and detection of CIP in seawater and obtained good specific identification ability and potential practical value.

Defects deteriorate the optical and electronic properties of the cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) single crystal . However, the growth of defects, such as vacancies and precipitation, could not be avoided in the industrial-grade preparation of CZT single crystal. Therefore, it is crucial to explore ways to eliminate defects after growth. This paper employs one-step heat treatment with the CdTe compound as an annealing atmosphere source. After annealing, some large-size Te inclusions are eliminated in CZT crystal, but nano Te precipitates still exist. At the same time, the crystal surface becomes rougher, caused by the thermal migration of Te droplets, dislocation proliferation, and aggregation. Increasing annealing time, dislocations migrate, decompose, and interact with each other to form dislocation walls, stacking faults or terminating at the surface, reducing dislocation etch pit density. In addition, a large number of ordered phases are still found in the crystal. Single annealing with CdTe significantly improved the crystal's optical and electrical properties. After 180 h annealing, the infrared (IR) transmittance of the as-grown wafer increased from 40% to 65%, and resistivity increased from 2.2 × 10 9 Ω cm to 1.7 × 10 11 Ω cm. Compared to reducing the Te precipitation phase, these increasements were mainly dominated by replacing point defects , like Cd vacancies.

A novel fluorescent probe based on CdTe QDs coated with molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP) was prepared for the determination of leucomalachite green (LMG) with the method of synchronous fluorescence quenching. When the wavelength interval of excitation and emission positions (Δl) was set as 340 nm, the strongest synchronous fluorescence emission of MIP-coated QDs was achieved at 260 nm, enabling the maximum fluorescent quenching of LMG because of the inner filter effect. According to this principle, a synchronous fluorescence quenching method for the rapid detection of LMG in fish was developed. MIP-coated QDs were synthesized using acrylamide (AM) and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as functional monomers and cross-linker, respectively. MIP-coated QDs with an average diameter around 67 nm were obtained at the optimum conditions (the molar ratio of 1:8:20 of LMG, AM and EGDMA, 60 mL of acetonitrile, 28 h of polymerization time). The synchronous fluorescence of MIP-coated QDs was linearly quenched by LMG at concentrations from 0.1 to 20 μmol L −1 . Detection limit was 30 nmol L −1 (3 σ , n = 9) with spiked recoveries from 94.0% to 107.8% in fish samples. The results indicate that the method can be applied to the accurate and rapid detection of LMG residues in fish samples.

The development of fluorescent molecular imprinting sensors for direct, rapid, and sensitive detection of small organic molecules in aqueous systems has always presented a significant challenge in the field of detection. In this study, we successfully prepared a hydrophilic colloidal molecular imprinted polymer (MIP) with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) using a one-pot approach that incorporated polyglycerol methacrylate (PGMMA-TTC), a hydrophilic macromolecular chain transfer agent, to mediate reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer precipitation polymerization (RAFTPP). To simplify the polymerization process while achieving ratiometric fluorescence detection, red fluorescent CdTe quantum dots (QDs) and green fluorescent nitrobenzodiazole (NBD) were introduced as fluorophores (with NBD serving as an enhancer to the template and QDs being inert). This strategy effectively eliminated background noise and significantly improved detection accuracy. Uniform-sized MIP microspheres with high surface hydrophilicity and incorporated ratiometric fluorescent labels were successfully synthesized. In aqueous systems, the hydrophilic ratio fluorescent MIP exhibited a linear response range from 0 to 25 μM for the template molecule 2,4-D with a detection limit of 0.13 μM. These results demonstrate that the ratiometric fluorescent MIP possesses excellent recognition characteristics and selectivity towards 2,4-D, thus, making it suitable for selective detection of trace amounts of pesticide 2,4-D in aqueous systems.

A fluorescence paper-based sensor method by simply using thiomalic acid modified CdTe (TMA-capped CdTe) was proposed for visual detection of silver ions (Ag + ). Red-emission TMA-capped CdTe with a large amount of carboxyl groups on the surface could be combined with Ag + by electrostatic interaction, thus leading to the fluorescence quenching. It was found that the adding of amino acids contributed to fluorescence recovery by the leaving of Ag + on the surface of TMA-capped CdTe. Moreover, the more amino group, benzene and thiol group equipped in the structure of amino acid, the stronger fluorescence restoring of CdTe could be achieved. This fluorescence spectrometry method for Ag + showed low detection of limit with the value of 13.16 nmol/L, with no response to other heavy metals, which demonstrating its high sensitivity and high selectivity for Ag + . More importantly, this paper-based sensor method combined with chemometrics could accurately identify and quantify different concentrations of Ag + in different complex matrices. This fast, economical, accurate and effective approach exhibited a new idea for the on-site detection of Ag + , and was expected to be extended to the on-site detection of Ag + in biological and environmental fields.

High photostable epoxy polymerized carbon quantum dots (C-dots) luminescent thin films were prepared and their performances were compared with the CdTe quantum dots (QDs). First, water soluble C-dots (λem = 543.60 nm) were synthesized. Poly (ethylene glycol) diglycidyl ether (PEG) and diaminooctane were used as the polymer matrix to make the epoxy resin films. FT-IR spectra showed that there were vibration at 3448 cm −1 and 1644 cm −1 which contributed to -OH and -NH respectively. SEM observations showed that the polymerizations of the films were uniform and there were no structure defects. Mechanical tests showed the tensile modulus of C-dots composite films were 4.6, 4.9, 6.4 and 7.8 MPa respectively with corresponding 0%, 1%, 2% and 5% mass fraction of C-dots, while the tensile modulus of CdTe QDs films were 4.6 MPa under the same mass fraction of CdTe QDs. Compared with semiconductor QDs, the decay of quantum yield were 5% and 10% for the C-dots and CdTe QDs, respectively. The pictures in the continuous irradiation of 48 h showed that the C-dots film was more photostable. This study provides much helpful and profound towards the fluorescent enhancement films in the field of flexible displays.

A series of red to near-infrared (NIR) emitting quantum dots (QDs) with spherical morphologies and tunable photoluminescence (PL) properties have been synthesized by a facile organic route using octadecene (ODE) as solvent and oleic acid (OA) as single capping agent. CdSe cores with
the average size of 4.5 nm display the typical optical behaviors with the PL emission peak around 610 nm. The coating CdZnS shells are introduced on the surface of CdSe cores for improving the photostability and PL efficiency of the initial QDs. As the thickness of CdZnS shells increasing,
the gradual red-shift of emission wavelength varying from 617 to 634 nm of the resulting QDs can be observed, along with the remarkable increase of PL quantum yield (QY). The composition-dependent CdTe

(CdTeSe) cores with the emission in NIR region
are easily carried out by adjusting the molar ratio of Se/Te. The abnormal variation of optical bowling effect is mainly ascribed to the composition effect of alloyed QDs. Compared with CdTe0.1Se0.9/CdZnS core/shell QDs, the introducing of CdZnS shells on CdTe0.05Se0.95
cores can exhibit better passivation effect on surface status, consequently leading to the red-shifted emission peaks in the range of 739–752 nm with the maximum PL QY reaching up to 45.09%. The unique PL properties of CdTeSe-based QDs in the red to NIR range make these core/shell QDs
attractive for future biological sensing and labeling applications.

Rare element resource (Te) loss and heavy metal (Cd) pollution, derived from waste photovoltaic CdTe cells, have attracted considerable attention in the cleaner production and environmental protection field. However, there are several technical barriers in conventional adsorption strategies for the continuous recovery Te(Ⅳ) and Cd(Ⅱ) due to single-component recovery, inefficient adsorbent utilization and less automation. Herein, this work presented a fixed-bed-column adsorption system for the continuous adsorption recovery of tellurium and cadmium from a simulated CdTe leachate using functional sludge-based adsorption fillers (LDO/SF and EDTA@LDH/SF) that prepared from water-processing sludge via hydrothermal synthesis, thermal activation and surface modification technologies. Breakthrough curves were analyzed for adsorption columns, considering initial concentration, flow rate, and filler height, with parameters evaluated using the Thomas and BDST models to determine the optimal separation parameters. During the continuous adsorption process, the column adsorption system with the filler layer height of 4 cm and liquid delivery rate of 1 mL/min can be used for continuous separation of more than 1000 mL of a simulated CdTe leachate and exhibits adsorption efficiencies of more than 96% and 82% for Te(Ⅳ) and Cd(Ⅱ), respectively. More importantly, the elution procedure was used to treat the column adsorption system with ion adsorption acceptances of 83% and 90% for Te(Ⅳ) and Cd(Ⅱ), respectively. Meanwhile, the functional sludge-based fillers demonstrated great regeneration and recycling capabilities, thus maximizing the utilization of adsorbents and saving treatment costs. This study has established a robust technical solution for the continuous recovery of tellurium and cadmium from simulated leachates, providing a practical framework for evaluating the efficiency of adsorption filler columns in actual applications.
