Abstract

Here, we report a green synthesis of ZnS and Mn²⁺ and Cu²⁺-doped ZnS quantum dots (QDs) stabilized with polyampholyte chitosan derivatives – N-(2-carboxyethyl)chitosans (CEC) varying in the degree of substitution (DS). It has been shown that the fabricated ZnS nanoparticles have spherical shapes and low polydispersity. The average size determined by means of transmission electron microscopy was 2.2±0.2nm and 3.6±0.6nm for CEC with DS 0.7 and 1.0, respectively. ZnS QDs showed only one sharp emission peak in the UV range (~370 nm) related to the sulfur vacancies. Photoluminecent spectra of ZnS doped with Mn²⁺ and Cu²⁺ showed emission peaks at 599 nm and 383-395 nm, respectively. A significant increase of the luminescence intensity was observed for Zn:CuS QDs incubated at 80°C. The metal:S ratio is slightly higher than the stoichiometric-favored one for formation of brighter Zn:MnS QDs.
