TECHNOLOGY SUMMARY

Quantum Dots of CdTe, obtained through a more versatile and more economical method of synthesis present low toxicity, higher structural stability and more biocompatibility than some others quantum dots, due to their glutathione protective shield. Furthermore, they possess higher efficiency, durability and fluorescence than present organic fluorophores.

BENEFITS

  • Simpler and cheaper production, owing to the simplification, the reduction of stages, the use of economic compounds as oxyanions of tellurium and cadmium salts. and the fact that there is no need to use high temperatures during synthesis
  • Synthesis method more adaptable, due to the employment of distinct pHs buffers, temperatures or assorted precursor molecules and their concentration variations, what creates particles of different sizes and with a wide range of spectroscopic characteristics
  • Higher durability, provided by a greater resistance and lifespan than organic fluorophores
  • Upper fluorescence and overhead quantum performance(around 25-30%)
  • Higher structural stability with greater security and low toxicity provided by the Glutathione protective shield
