- Single-component System
As for example, a white light emission was achieved by co-doping Mn and Cu in ZnSe Qdots. Silica-coated CdSe/ZnS Qdots were functionalized with blue-emitting oligofluorene to obtain white light emission.

However, the precise detection and quantification of biomolecules (which are usually responsible for causing human diseases) at the single particle level based on the variation of the scintillation statistics of a white light emitted by single Qdots is not yet to t was explored. In this thesis, a highly sensitive and selective method for the visual detection of a neurotransmitter (dopamine) at the single particle level using a single white light emitting QDC is demonstrated.
Overview of the Thesis
Therefore, the study of single WLE QDC will provide a newer paradigm for understanding their photophysical behavior at single particle resolution and developing powerful methodology for the development of ultrasensitive biosensors.

Synchronous Tricolor Emission-Based White Light from Quantum Dot Complex
Experimental Section
After that, the resulting solution was centrifuged and the so-obtained pellet was redispersed in the same amount of solvent and further treated with 1.0 mM methanolic solution of ASA to form the complex on the dopant emission-quenched Qdots. Separately, 20.0 L of 5.0 mM Cu2+ solution was added to the 2.0 mL dispersion of the ASA treated Qdots, then centrifuged and redispersed in the same amount of solvent to check the effect of Cu2+ on the emission of ASA treated Qdots.
Results and Discussion
6 When the aqueous dispersion of the Qdots was treated with ASA, there was no significant change in the absorption spectrum (Figure 2.1A) of the Qdots. Previous observations in the laboratory indicated that the formation of ZnQ2 on the surface of the ZnS Qdot gives rise to green emission.

Gold Nanocluster and Quantum Dot Complex in Protein for Biofriendly White-Light-Emitting Material
Experimental Section
The resulting solution was allowed to stir for 12 h and led to the formation of BSA-stabilized Au NCs. NC-QDC nanocomposite was synthesized after the reaction between BSA-stabilized Au NC-ZnS Qdot nanocomposite and 8-hydroxyquinoline (HQ). 200 µL of BSA-stabilized Au NCs (pH-6.8) was mixed with 2.8 mL of the synthesized BSA-stabilized ZnS Qdots in a cuvette.
Results and Discussion
The observed changes in the conformation of BSA may be due to the change in the pH of the medium. This may be the reason for the observed changes in the optical characteristics of the Au NCs embedded in BSA protein during the formation of WLE NC-QDC nanocomposite. 12, 23 This may be due to the environmental changes of the BSA protein of Au NCs during NC-Qdot and thus NC-QDC composite formation.

Zinc Quinolate Complex Decorated CuInS 2 /ZnS Core/Shell Quantum Dots for White Light Emission
Experimental Section
Initially, the absorbance of the thus obtained CuInS2/ZnS core/shell Qpoints was fixed at 0.12 (at a wavelength of 365 nm). L of 5.0 mM HQ (in ethanol) was sequentially added to 3.0 mL of a hexane dispersion of CuInS2/ZnS core/shell Qdots. 10.0 L of 5.0 mM HQ was found to be the optimal amount to generate near-white light chromaticity from 3.0 mL of a hexane dispersion of CuInS2/ZnS core/shell Qdots.
Results and Discussion
After a room temperature complexation reaction with HQ, no significant change in the UV-vis spectrum of CuInS2/ZnS core/shell Qdots (in hexane) was noticed (Figure 4.3 A). These results clearly indicated the formation of the ZnQ2 complex on the ZnS shell surface without degrading the optical properties of CuInS2/ZnS core/shell Qdots. Interestingly, under the same conditions, a bright white color was observed in the case of the dispersion of the HQ-treated CuInS2/ZnS core/shell Qdots.
Conclusion

Integration of CuInS2-based nanocrystals for high efficiency and high color rendering of white light-emitting diodes.

Changes in Color and Blinking Profile
Experimental Section
Briefly, under vigorous stirring at 25oC, 2.0 ml of 0.5 M KOH (dissolved in ethanol) was added dropwise to a 50.0 ml ethanolic solution of 5.0 mM zinc acetate and the resulting mixture, colored milk white, it was kept for half. hour. A reported condensation reaction between salicylaldehyde and methylamine was followed to synthesize N-methylsalicylaldimine (MSA). 1-3 Briefly, 2 millimoles of methylamine were added dropwise to a solution of 2.0 millimoles of salicyaldehyde in 20.0 ml of methanol resulting in the mixture. , yellow in color, allowed to mix for 4 hours at 25 oC. Confocal imaging and single particle experiment of WLE QDC and dopamine added WLE QDC were performed by depositing the as-prepared dispersion (which was obtained by treating 9.9 M MSA on 3.0 mL ZnO Qdots by absorption of 0.10 at 350 nm at 225°C ) of the materials on a glass coverslip.
Results and Discussion
The y-axis represents the change in the photoluminescence intensity of the WLE QDC nanocomposite upon addition of the analyte. In addition, no significant change in the absorption spectrum of the WLE QDC nanocomposite was observed after dopamine addition (Figure A.5.8, Appendix). The results indicated that the yellow emission of the WLE QDC nanocomposite was sensitive to dopamine compared to the blue emission in the liquid medium.
Conclusion
