- Description
- Aluminum tetrasulfonated phthalocyanine (ClAlTSPc) was covalently linked with different sizes of glutathione capped CdTe/CdS/ZnS quantum dots (QDs). The photophysical and Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) properties of the nanoconjugates were investigated. The CdTe/CdS/ZnS(6.3) nanocomposite showed the highest enhancement in its photophysical properties while (CdTe/CdS/ZnS(3.2) nanocomposite showed the least. Highest FRET efficiency was observed in the linked CdTe/CdS/ZnS(6.3) nanocomposites at 93%. Hence, the combination of CdTe/CdS/ZnS with ClAlTSPc exhibited excellent photophysical properties.
