In scientific research, in order to comparatively study the size effect of nanorods, it is generally required to synthesize nanorod materials having the same diameter, different lengths, or different diameters and the same length. However, the nanorods synthesized by the existing method are longer, the diameter is increased, and the diameter can hardly be controlled to be kept unchanged. When the nano-rods with the constant diameter and the longer length are required to grow, the proportion of the ligand and the synthesis conditions need to be changed. Thus, the cost and complexity of synthesizing nanorods with different size requirements are increased, and therefore, a simpler and more effective method for controlling the synthesis of nanorods is needed.
Disclosure of Invention
According to the current requirements on nano rod materials and the technical defects, the invention provides a method for synthesizing a liquid-phase CdS nano rod. ODPA (n-octadecylphosphonic acid) and HPA (hexylphosphinic acid) are selected as ligands for nanorod growth, a proper raw material ratio is found, and the experimental process is improved. Under the condition, the diameter of the synthesized nanorod can be kept unchanged, and the CdS nanorods with different lengths can be obtained only by regulating and controlling the growth time.
A method for synthesizing a liquid-phase CdS nanorod with accurate and controllable size,
placing 50-65 mg of CdO, 250-334 mg of ODPA, 55-125 mg of HPA and 3-5 g of TOPO in a container, deoxidizing in an argon environment, heating the mixture to 260-300 ℃ after 30-60 minutes at the temperature of 100-120 ℃ until the solution is completely clear and transparent, and injecting 0.8-1.2 ml of TOP; then heating the mixture to 350-360 ℃, and injecting 0.8-1 ml of S precursor (0.2-0.25 mol/L, ODE solution of S) and 50-60 nmol of CdS seed crystal at the temperature;
the reaction time is 5 seconds to 11 minutes, the nano rod with the length of 5nm to 150nm can be obtained, and the longer the growth time is, the longer the nano rod is.
The diameter size of the nano-rod is determined by the proportion of the ligand components in the solution, and the specific parameters are as follows: ODPA: HPA (molar concentration) ═ 1.8: 1, the diameter size of the nano rod is about 3.4 +/-0.4 nm; when ODPA: when the molar concentration ratio of HPA is increased (1.0-3.0), the diameter size of the nano-rod is increased (2.8-5.0 nm).
The length of the nanorod is changed by changing the growth time, the nanorod with the length of 5-150 nm can be synthesized by the growth time from 5 seconds to 11 minutes, and the longer the growth time is, the longer the nanorod is.
The synthesis method of the CdS seed crystal comprises the following steps: weighing 50-60 mg of CdO (cadmium oxide), 0.15-0.20 ml of OA and 5-8 ml of ODE, placing the mixture in a container, and deoxidizing for 30-60 minutes in an argon environment, wherein the temperature is 100-120 ℃; then heating the mixture to 260-300 ℃, and injecting 1-1.5 ml of TOP when CdO is completely dissolved to obtain a clear and transparent solution; cooling the solution to 220-260 ℃; injecting 0.8-1 ml S (sulfur) precursor (0.2-0.25 mol/L, ODE solution of S) and violently stirring; maintaining for 40 seconds to 3 minutes, and placing the container in an ice bath for cooling to obtain the CdS seed crystal with the diameter range of 2.6 to 8.6 nm.
The diameter and size of the nano-rod can be controlled by regulating the proportion of different ligands in the solution; under the condition of determining the system components, the change of the length of the nano rod can be realized by changing the growth time, and the diameter of the nano rod is kept unchanged. The ligand molecules with different proportions directly determine the diameter size of the nano-rod, because the long-chain acid molecules are adsorbed on the surface of the seed crystal, and have control effect on the crystalline phase and the growth direction of the seed crystal.
Under the condition of a certain ligand proportion, the diameter size of the nanorod is determined, the length of the nanorod can be changed by only changing the growth time, the longer the nanorod is, if the nanorod with different length is needed, the nanorod with different length can be extracted in the corresponding growth time, the raw materials do not need to be reconfigured for re-synthesis, and the synthesis method with the time-controlled length can improve the synthesis efficiency.
Drawings
The principle and specific process of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic view of the synthetic process of CdS nanorods and a transmission electron microscope picture of the CdS nanorods at different growth times (45s, 2.5min, 3.5 min).
Wherein: the synthesis method adopts a seed crystal growth method, CdS seed crystals are synthesized firstly, and then long-chain acid with a specific proportion is matched to control the growth direction of nanorod crystals. After different growth time, CdS nanorods with similar diameters and different lengths can be obtained.
FIG. 2 is the UV-VIS absorption spectra of three synthesized nanorods with different lengths.
The position of the first exciton peak (absorption peak at 450nm in the figure) in the ultraviolet visible absorption spectrum represents the quantum confinement degree of the nanorod in the diameter direction, and the positions of the first exciton absorption peaks of the nanorods with the three lengths are similar, which shows that the quantum effects of the nanorods in the diameter direction are similar, and proves that the nanorods with the three lengths have similar diameters.
FIG. 3 shows the length distribution statistics of CdS nanorods.
Detailed Description
Example 1
First, we need to synthesize CdS seeds: 50.0mg of CdO (cadmium oxide), 0.18ml of OA (oleic acid) and 5ml of ODE (1-octadecene ) were weighed into a three-necked flask, deoxygenated under argon atmosphere for one hour, at which time the temperature was set to 120 ℃; the mixture was then heated to 300 ℃ and when the CdO had completely dissolved, a clear and transparent solution was obtained, and 1.5ml of TOP (trioctylphosphine, tri-n-octylphosphine) was injected. Because TOP is injected, the temperature of the solution can be reduced to about 260 ℃, and the heating device is closed to continue reducing the temperature, so that the temperature of the solution is reduced to 250 ℃. At this point 0.8ml of S (sulphur) precursor (0.25mol/L, ODE solution of S) was injected rapidly and stirred vigorously. Maintaining for 40s, removing the heating jacket, placing the three-necked flask in an ice bath for rapid cooling to obtain CdS seed crystal with diameter of about 2.6 nm.
The synthetic process of the CdS nanorod comprises the following steps: 58mg of CdO, 290mg of ODPA (n-octadecylphosphonic acid, n-octadecyl phosphate), 80mg of HPA (hexylphosphinic acid, n-hexylphosphoric acid) and 3g of TOPO (trioctylphosphine oxide, tri-n-octylphosphine oxide) were weighed into a 25ml three-necked flask and deoxygenated under an argon atmosphere, at which time the temperature was set at 120 ℃. After one hour, the mixture was heated to 300 ℃ until the solution was completely clear and transparent, and 0.8ml of TOP was injected. The mixture was then warmed to 350 ℃ at which temperature 0.8ml of S precursor (0.25mol/L, ODE solution of S) and CdS seeds (55nmol) were injected rapidly. After different growth time, the nano rods with different lengths and diameters of 3.4 +/-0.4 nm can be obtained, and the longer the growth time is, the longer the nano rods are. The specific results are shown in FIGS. 1-3.
Example 2
The operation process is the same as that of the embodiment 1, and is different from that of the embodiment 1 in that: in the raw material ratio of the synthesized nano-rod in the embodiment 1, ODPA: HPA (molar concentration) ═ 1.8: 1, when the dosage and the molar concentration of CdO, S, TOP, CdS seed crystal and TOPO in the system are kept unchanged, the ODPA: molar ratio of HPA to 2.2: at 1 (HPA molar concentration in the system is unchanged), the diameter of the CdS nanorod is increased to 4.1 nm.
