A methodology for incorporating solubilized CdSe/ZnS core/shell nanocrystals (NCs) into functionalized carboxylated polystyrene latexes 0.3-1 microm in diameter via a swelling procedure was developed and used for the production of homogeneous, highly fluorescent polymeric beads (HFPBs), which were found to be comparable in brightness to standard polymeric microspheres doped with organic fluorophores and more photostable than the latter by more than 50 times (Fluoresbrite yellow-orange microspheres were used as an example). The three-dimensional (3D) confocal analysis of individual 1-microm HFPB demonstrated that the beads were doped with the NCs almost homogeneously. HFPBs 0.3 microm in diameter were conjugated with anti-mouse polyvalent immunoglobulins and used for immunofluorescent detection of p-glycoprotein, a mediator of the multidrug resistance phenotype, overexpressed in the membrane of MCF7r breast adenocarcinoma cells. The photostability of NCs-tagged HFPBs offers obvious advantages for the reconstruction of 3D confocal fluorescence images of antigen distribution, and their exceptionally high brightness combined with photostability permits the detection of a single antigen molecule using a standard epifluorescence microscope. 相似文献

Autometallographic (AMG) silver enhancement is a potent histochemical tool for tracing a variety of metal containing nanocrystals, e.g. pure gold and silver nanoclusters and quantum dots of silver, mercury, bismuth or zinc, with sulphur and/or selenium. These nanocrystals can be created in many different ways, e.g. (1) by manufacturing colloidal gold or silver particles, (2) by treating an organism in vivo with sulphide or selenide ions, (3) as the result of a metabolic decomposition of bismuth-, mercury- or silver-containing macromolecules in cell organelles, or (4) as the end product of histochemical processing of tissue sections. Such nano-sized AMG nanocrystals can then be silver-amplified several times of magnitude by being exposed to an AMG developer, i.e. a normal photographic developer enriched with silver ions. The present monograph attempts to provide a review of the autometallographic silver amplification techniques known today and their use in biology. After achieving a stronghold in histochemistry by Timm's introduction of the "silver-sulphide staining" in 1958, the AMG technique has evolved and expanded into several different areas of research, including immunocytochemistry, tracing of enzymes at LM and EM levels, blot staining, retrograde axonal tracing of zinc-enriched (ZEN) neurons, counterstaining of semithin sections, enhancement of histochemical reaction products, marking of phagocytotic cells, staining of myelin, tracing of gold ions released from gold implants, and visualization of capillaries. General technical comments, protocols for the current AMG methods and a summary of the most significant scientific results obtained by this wide variety of AMG histochemical approaches are included in the present article. 相似文献

The economical and large-scale preparations of metallic sulfides nanocrystals (NCs) would determine their practical industrial application. In this contribution, a series of sulfides NCs such as ZnS, CdS, PbS, CuxS, MnS and Bi2S3, have been harvested by thermolysis of a single source metal cysteinate obtained conveniently from the reaction between metal powder and cysteine in aqueous environment and constant atmosphere in glassware. The characterizations including TEM, XRD, UV-Vis, FT-IR, TG-DSC, EDX and BET confirmed that the as-synthesized products are from the decomposition of metal cysteinate, of nanoscale in size, and of mesoporous materials. The generation, low cost and benign environment made this route technologically and scientifically interesting for the preparation of metallic sulfides NCs. 相似文献

Solution‐processed zinc oxide nanocrystals (ZnO NCs) hybridized with insulating poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) are introduced as a cathode interlayer in bulk heterojunction organic photovoltaic cells based on poly(3‐hexylthiophene) (P3HT):(6,6)‐phenyl‐C61 butyric acid methyl ester (PC61BM) blends. The performance of devices with ZnO‐PEG interlayers exhibit an excellent maximum power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 4.4% with a fill factor (FF) of 0.69 under optimized conditions. This enhanced device performance is attributed to decreased series resistance from the hole blocking properties of ZnO, as well as the facilitated electron transport due to the reduced area of ZnO domain boundaries upon addition of PEG. The addition of PEG also lowers the electron affinity of ZnO, which leads to a nearly Ohmic contact at the polymer/metal interface. Moreover, the ZnO‐PEG interlayer serves as an optical spacer that enhances light absorption and thereby increases the photocurrent. The addition of PEG permits control over layer thickness and refractive indices. Improved photon energy absorption is supported by optical simulations. Devices with highly stable metals such as Ag and Au also show dramatically enhanced performance comparable to conventional devices with Al cathode. Due to its simplicity and excellent characteristics, this multifunctional interlayer is suitable for high performance printed photovoltaic cells. 相似文献

Pure zirconium oxide (ZrO2) nanocrystals with diameters 10-30 nm are fabricated from bis-aqua, tris-acetylacetonato zirconium(IV) nitrate; [Zr(acac)3(H2O)2](NO3); by thermal decomposition. The different combinations of oleylamine, or polyethyleneglycol (PEG) and triphenylphosphine, were added as surfactants to control the particle size. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to depict the phase and morphology. The synthesized ZrO2 nanoparticles have a cubic structure. The FT-IR spectrum showed the purity of obtained ZrO2 nanocrystals with cubic phase. The UV-Visible absorption peak for ZrO2 was observed at 233 nm (5.3 eV in photon energy). The band at 363 nm for cubic ZrO2 nanocrystals was found. 相似文献
