Definitions
- This invention relates to the field of fullerenes and more specifically to the field of coating fullerenes with coatings capable of emitting and/or absorbing light.
- Nanoparticles have been increasingly studied due to their physical and chemical properties.
- One such property is the ability of some nanoparticles to emit light.
- CdS nanoparticles have been used on photoconducting materials to increase photoconductivity and also to produce light emitters.
- photoluminescence of quantum dots of nanoparticles is accomplished by irradiating the quantum dot with light of a frequency that results in emission of light at a different, lower frequency.
- the nanoparticle quantum dots are typically incorporated into structures such as diodes to enhance the photoluminescence of the structures. Such structures are typically much larger than nanoparticle size.
- the nanoparticles are usually coated on the structures by a sol-gel type reaction.
- a drawback to photoluminescence of semiconductor dots is that the emitted light is typically not polarized. For instance, the aspect ratio of light emitted from the quantum dot is typically too low for polarization. Further drawbacks include the size of the coated structures. For instance, the size of the coated structures may be too large for applications on the nano- scale such as the in-vivo environment. Other drawbacks include the long reaction times typically involved with the sol-gel type reactions
- a method of making a semiconductor coated nanoparticle comprising a layer of at least one semiconducting material covering at least a portion of at least one surface of a nanoparticle, comprising dispersing the nanoparticle under suitable conditions to provide a dispersed nanoparticle; and depositing at least one semiconducting material under suitable conditions onto at least one surface of the dispersed nanoparticle to produce the semiconductor coated nanoparticle.
- the present invention includes a semiconductor coated nanoparticle comprising a nanoparticle; and a semiconductor coating, wherein the semiconductor coating coats at least a portion of the nanoparticle.
- the nanoparticle comprises a fullerene.
- Additional embodiments include the semiconductor material comprising CdS or CdSe. It will therefore be seen that a technical advantage of the present invention includes an improved method for coating nanoparticles capable of emitting light on structures that overcomes the problem of size of the structures as well as allowing non-spherical shapes to be coated by the use of non-spherical nanoparticle substrates. Further advantages include faster reaction times than the typical sol-gel process.

- Surfactant addition comprises dispersing the fullerene in a water solution of the surfactant.
- Depositing at least one semiconducting material under suitable conditions onto at least one surface of the dispersed nanoparticle, preferably a fullerene, is accomplished by catalyzing growth of the semiconducting material on the activated surface of the nanoparticle. Catalyzing such growth comprises contacting the dispersed fullerene with a solution comprising chemical precursors to the semiconducting material.
- the nanoparticle substrate is at least partially dissolved in the solution. It is also preferable to use a non sol-gel approach to allow seeded growth on the surface of the fullerene and have a faster reaction time than a typical sol- gel approach.

- the coated fullerene is then purified by re-dispersing the fullerene in a suitable solvent such as ethanol.
- Examples 1-13 demonstrate the coating of fullerenols by CdS.
- a [Cd 2+ ] bath concentration was set at 50 mM. Only triethanolamine (TEA) ratios were varied to avoid colloidal (precipitation) regime of CdS deposition from the bath. Relative molar ratios of Cd:TEA:I>JH 4 OH:thiourea were set at 1:3.75:14.4:1, respectively.
- a typical experiment involved adding 10 mL of a 50 mg/L solution of fullerenols [C 6 o(OH) n ] to a centrifuge tube.
- annealed HiPCO SWNTs was added in a 50 mL centrifuge tube.
- the tubes had been previously annealed under argon in a sealed tube furnace at 800°C, cooled, and gently ground.
- 30 mL of 1-octadecene (ODE) was added, and the tubes were vigorously sonicated for 20 seconds. After 30 seconds of settling, the tube was slightly swirled to suspend the SWNTs but not to disturb large settled chunks of undispersed SWNTs. The top 15mL of the suspension was quickly transferred by pipet to a 50 mL Schlenk flask.
