Emission Tail of Indium Phosphide Quantum Dots Investigated using the FS5 Spectrofluorometer

Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) have unique tuneable photoluminescence properties which lend them to a range of important technological applications including solid-state lighting, displays, photovoltaics, and biomedical imaging. Indium phosphide (InP) QDs have attracted significant interest as an environmentally friendly and non-toxic alternative to traditional heavy metal based QDs containing cadmium and lead.

Metal Organic Framework as a Ratiometric Fluorescence Sensor for Hypochlorite and Ascorbic Acid

Researchers in Fujian, China, led by Rong Cao and Zu-Jin Lin, have developed a new method for sensing ClO- employing fluorescence spectroscopy and novel metal organic frameworks. The authors used an Edinburgh Instruments FS5 Spectrofluorometer to characterize and optimise the sensor’s response towards ClO- . They then employed this sensor to detect ascorbic acid, an essential nutrient for the human body.
