Monodisperse CuInS 2 nanocrystals (CIS NCs) with wurtzite (hexagonal) and chalcopyrite (tetragonal) structures have been obtained via a facile route of thermal decomposition of metal–thiolate. The morphologies of the nanocrystals were tuned from pyramid-shaped to nanospheres by varying the concentrations of oleylamine (OLA). The band gaps of the nanocrystals ranged from 2.73 eV to 2.65 eV when reaction time changed. Furthermore, the third-order optical nonlinearities of WZ–CIS NCs in n-Hexane were studied by Z-scan at a wavelength of 770 nm. By increasing the concentration of OLA, the value of the third-order nonlinear-index coefficient γ , the nonlinear absorption coefficient β and nonlinear susceptibility χ (3) became larger.

Glioma stem cells (GSCs) are considered the key to the occurrence, development, invasion, recurrence and sensitivity to treatment of brain tumors. Precise molecular imaging of GSCs by means of probes in vivo has therefore become a premise of solving the above problems. Herein, a sensitive, specific, accurate and biocompatible molecular nanoprobe is reported with MR/fluorescence imaging modalities for CD133+ glioma tumor bimodal targeted imaging. Cd-free high quality CuInS2/ZnS core/shell quantum dots (QDs) were synthesized for fluorescence imaging; DTPA-coupled BSA with Gd3+ chelation (BSA-DTPAGd) were prepared and used both for phase transfer of hydrophobic CuInS2/ZnS QDs and MR imaging modality. The resulting hydrophilic paramagnetic QDs (pQDs) were then linked with anti-CD133 monoclonal antibody, pQDs-CD133mAb denoting the framework of the entire molecular probe, for tumor targeting. The obtained pQDs-CD133mAb has a proper size (ca. 45 nm) and good colloidal stability. It exhibits a high quality fluorescent emission (ca. 630 nm) together with high longitudinal relaxivity (r1 = 15.2 mM−1 s−1) compared with that of commercial Magnevist (r1 = 3.12 mM−1 s−1). Dual modal imaging in vitro and in vivo shows potent tumor enhancement with administration of pQDs-CD133mAb. A biodistribution study indicates hepatobiliary and renal processing of pQDs-CD133mAb with no obvious toxicity. It could be therefore concluded, with a dual-modal imaging and targeting strategy, pQDs-CD133mAb presents a great potential as an alternative for accurate diagnosis of glioma.

Monodispersed superparticles (SPs) consisting of hydrophobic CuInS2@ZnS quantum dots (QDs) were prepared through a self-assembling process induced by introducing ethanol into the cyclohexane solution of the QDs stabilized by 1-dodecanethiol. The solvent polarity-dependent size and size distribution of the resultant SPs were carefully characterized by using scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and dynamic light scattering. The formation and the growth mechanism of the SPs were investigated. By manipulating the nucleation and the growth kinetics through the addition rate of ethanol, the size was effectively tuned without broadening the size distribution of the SPs. By overcoating the SPs with amphibious Fe3O4 nanocrystals (NCs) stabilized by poly(4-vinylpyrollidone), aqueous dispersible SPs were obtained. Inheriting the fluorescent and magnetic properties from the corresponding mother particles, the resultant SPs presented excellent fluorescent and magnetic properties and, thus, may potentially be useful for bioseparation, detection, etc.

A novel sensing fluorescent probe based on the fluorescence quenching of the thioglycolic acid-capped CuInS 2 /ZnS quantum dots (CuInS 2 /ZnS/TGA QDs) was established for cobalt ions detection. The fluorescence quenching of CuInS 2 /ZnS/TGA QDs was due to the increasing surface deficiency and the inner-filter effect, which were attributed to the reaction between Co 2+ and sulfur bonds on the surface of QDs. The quenching curve could be fitted by a typical Stern–Volmer-type equation, with a linear relationship between the quenching efficiency and the concentration of cobalt ions in the range of 0.3012–90.36 μmol L −1 . And the detection limit (S/N=3) for Co 2+ was 0.16 μmol L −1 . Therefore, the established probe provided a simple, rapid, cheap and sensitive method for Co 2+ detection. In a word, this method can be used to detect Co 2+ in the environment.

Phase and band gap engineering of (CdS)x(CuInS2)1−xnanomaterials is critical for their potential applications in photovoltaics and photocatalysis, yet it remains a challenge. Here, we report a precursor-mediated colloidal method for phase-control synthesis of alloyed (CdS)x(CuInS2)1−xnanocrystals with tunable band gap. When CuCl, InCl3, and Cd(AC)2·2H2O are used as the respective cation sources, wurtzite-structured alloyed (CdS)x(CuInS2)1−xnanocrystals can be synthesized with a tunable optical band gap ranging from 1.56 to 2.45 eV by directly controlling the molar ratio of the Cd precursor. Moreover, using Cu(S2CNEt2)2, In(S2CNEt2)3, and Cd(S2CNEt2)2as cation sources results in alloyed (CdS)x(CuInS2)1−xnanocrystals with a zinc-blende structure, demonstrating that the optical band gap of these nanocrystals can be compositionally tuned from 1.50 to 1.84 eV through precisely adjusting the molar ratio of Cd precursor. The results were validated through a comprehensive characterization approach employing XRD, TEM, HRTEM, STEM-EDS, XPS, UV-vis-NIR absorption spectroscopy, and Mott–Schottky analysis.

TiO2/(ZnS)x(CuInS2)1−x nanocomposites were prepared from oleic acid-capped TiO2 nanocrystals and alloyed (ZnS)x(CuInS2)1−x nanocrystals. Element mapping and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results suggested that the nanocomposites exhibit homogeneous composition with uniform mesoporous structure. High photocatalytic activities driven by simulated solar light were achieved owning to their high surface area and efficient electron transfer from (ZnS)x(CuInS2)1−x to TiO2. This work enables the synthesis of a large variety of photocatalysts from nanocrystal building blocks for various applications beyond photodegradation of organic pollutants.

The detection and imaging of intracellular copper ions (Cu 2+ ) play a crucial role in understanding their physiological implications and their involvement in various cellular processes. This study focuses on the synthesis and characterization of water-soluble near-infrared fluorescent CIS/ZnS core–shell quantum dots (QDs) with excellent biocompatibility and stability. The QDs exhibit exceptional selectivity and sensitivity for Cu 2+ detection, allowing for precise quantification of Cu 2+ content within biological systems. Furthermore, Co-incubation of the QDs with HeLa cells demonstrates their impressive cellular imaging capabilities, facilitated by fluorescence bursts in response to changing Cu 2+ content. Overall, our proposed QDs are of great significance in advancing the research and application of near-infrared semiconductor quantum dots in biomedicine, and their near-infrared fluorescence properties and high fluorescence quantum yield (34.48 %) make them very advantageous for the precise detection of intracellular Cu 2+ and cell fluorescence imaging. This research contributes to the understanding of copper ion dynamics within cells and opens avenues for further exploration of its role in cellular physiology.

In this Article, we present a facile microwave-assisted synthesis route for the preparation of water-soluble and high-quality CuInS2/ZnS nanocrystals (NCs) with glutathione as the stabilizer. The as-prepared CuInS2/ZnS NCs exhibited small particle sizes (∼3.3 nm), long photoluminescence lifetimes, and color-tunable properties ranging from the visible to the near-infrared by varying the initial ratio of Cu/In in the precursors. The low-toxicity, highly luminescent and biocompatible CuInS2/ZnS NCs were applied to cell imaging, showing that they could be used as promising fluorescent probes. Furthermore, the CuInS2/ZnS NCs were used as the signal labels for a fluoroimmunoassay of the biomarker IL-6, showing their great potential for use as reliable point-of-care diagnostics for biomarkers of cancer and other diseases.

In this work, the heterojunctions of CuInS2embedded in the g-C3N4materials (xCuInS2/g-C3N4, abbreviated as xCIS/GCN) was successfully prepared for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation under visible light. The catalysts are characterized by different techniques, such as XRD, FTIR, SEM, TEM, and UV-vis. The unique heterojunction composites can suppress the recombination of photogenerated pairs. The catalytic results showed that the 3CIS/GCN exhibited excellent catalytic levofloxacin (LVF) degradation efficiency, while more than 98.9% of LVF was removed in 60 min over a wide pH range. SO4•−, O2•−, OH•, and1O2were verified as the main reactive species for LVF degradation via the quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance technology (EPR). The synergetic effect of xCIS/GCN, PMS, and visible light irradiation was discussed. The possible LVF degradation pathway was proposed through byproducts analysis (LC-MS). Moreover, the 3CIS/GCN/vis-PMS system has very low metal leaching. Owing to xCIS/GCN having good properties for PMS activation, it has potential applications for LVF or other hazardous pollutants degradation.Keywords:peroxymonosulfate;visible-light-assisted PMS activation;antibiotics

Wide-bandgap chalcopyrite copper indium sulfide CuInS2 (CIS) thin-film solar cells have significant potential as top cells in tandem configuration and for indoor photovoltaic devices. Among various fabrication routes, solution-processing is particularly attractive due to its low cost, simplicity, and adaptability to large areas and flexible substrates. However, the efficiency of CIS solar cells is still lower than that achieved by vacuum-based methods. A major factor limiting the performance of CIS solar cells is the poor crystallinity of the absorber, which leads to a high density of grain boundaries and defects, facilitating nonradiative recombination. In this work, we report a highly efficient CIS solar cell by in situ potassium (K) doping via easily adding KCl into the precursor solution. The introduction of K significantly promotes grain growth and suppresses interface defects, leading to remarkable improvements in device performance. At an optimal K doping concentration (K/Cu = 7%), the champion CIS thin-film solar cell achieves an efficiency of 11.58%, enhanced by 60% compared to nondoped devices. In addition, a fill factor (FF) of 70.10% has been achieved, the highest FF reported for solution-processed CIS thin-film solar cells. Our results demonstrate a facile and efficient K doping strategy to realize high-performance wide-bandgap CIS thin-film solar cells.

CuInS 2 is a promising light-harvesting material for solar cells due to its long-term stability, suitable bandgap and favorable optical absorption coefficient. Here, solar cells with In-rich CuInS 2 light-active layer are fabricated by increasing the feed ratio in precursor solution. The CuAu phases within chalcopyrite CuInS 2 films are inhibited with increased In molar ratio, leading to a better quality of CuInS 2 films as well as reduction in charge recombination centers in solar cells. Moreover, the band alignment of CuInS 2 /Spiro-OMeTAD interface is adjusted by increased In molar ratio, and the charge carriers are effectively separated at the CuInS 2 /Spiro-OMeTAD interface due to the lower valence band level of In-rich CuInS 2 films. These improvements result in a planar CuInS 2 solar cell with an efficiency of 7.66% and an open-circuit voltage reached 0.85 V. The In-rich CuInS 2 devices exhibit the lower voltage loss, which enhances the potential for high-efficiency solar cells.

A novel visible light-driven photocatalyst (represented as Mn-CdS/ZCISe/CIS/TiO2) for the passivation of E. coli was prepared with TiO2 nanowires as support and using CuInS2 (CIS) and ZnCuInSe (ZCISe) quantum dots (QDs), as well as Mn-doped CdS (Mn-CdS) nanoparticles (NPs) as sensitizers. The use of CIS and ZCISe QDs and Mn-CdS NPs extends the light harvest region to visible light. The photoelectric conversion efficiency was consequently improved, with a photocurrent density of 12.5 mA cm−2, about 60 times that of pure TiO2 nanowires. The germicidal efficiency of the photocatalyst was assessed by passivation of E. coli, 96% bacteria in 50 ml 105 colony forming units (CFU) ml−1 solution were killed within 50 min. Besides the high efficiency, the composite has good stability and satisfactory recycling performance. The antibiotic mechanism was also performed by using photoluminescence and a scavenging agent of different active matter, revealing that the photo-generated holes play a major role in the sterilization process.
