摘要
A novel route has been developed for surfactant-free synthesis of highly fluorescent gold quantum dots (GQDs) in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF). The as-prepared GQDs show instinctive fluorescence and good solubility in water. The formation mechanism and functionalization of GQDs were investigated by UV-vis spectra, fluorescence excitation and emission spectra, mass spectra, and TEM observation. Ligand-dependent optical properties of functionalized GQDs were found to be dramatically different. The approach provides a facile method of functionalization of bare GQDs for further applications, such as fluorescent biolabels, energy transfer units, and light-emitting devices.
