Introduction
Analysis of the core content of the standard
As an important standard in the field of nanotechnology, GB/T24370-2021 systematically standardizes the technical method of using UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy to characterize cadmium chalcogenide colloidal quantum dots. Compared with the 2009 version, three major technical upgrades have been achieved:
- Expansion of the scope of application: from a single CdSe to three types of quantum dots, CdTe/CdSe/CdS
- Improvement of model accuracy: updating the coefficients of the particle size-absorption peak relationship equation, and adding CdTe/CdS calculation model
- Improvement of the process: adding chapters on the correction method for wide distribution samples and the evaluation of measurement uncertainty
Key technologies for quantum dot particle size determination
The core innovation of the standard lies in the establishment of a quantitative relationship model between particle size and absorption peak:
| Quantum dot type | Applicable particle size range (nm) | Relationship characteristics |
|---|---|---|
| CdTe | 3.5-9 | Cubic polynomial (Formula 1) |
| CdSe | 1-8 | Quadratic polynomial (Formula 2) |
| CdS | 1-5.5 | Cubic polynomial (Formula 3) |
Note in actual application: A wavelength measurement error of 1nm will result in a particle size deviation of approximately 0.02nm. It is recommended to use a standard filter to calibrate the spectrometer.
Comparison of particle concentration determination methods
The standard provides two concentration determination paths:
- Direct calculation method: Calculated by Beer-Lambert formula combined with particle size-related extinction coefficient
- Correction method: HWHM normalization is used for wide distribution samples (Formula 5)
Appendix B verification shows that the deviation between the UV-Vis method and ICP-MS results is in the range of 5-15%. The main sources of uncertainty are:
- Intrinsic error of the model formula (up to 50%)
- Non-ideal monodispersity of quantum dots
- Instrument calibration accuracy
Recommendations for the implementation of the standard
To ensure the quality of the test, it is recommended that:
1. Sample preparation: Use matching surface ligands (such as TOPO, HDA, etc.) to maintain absorbance A<1
2. Instrument settings: Recommended parameter combination - wavelength range 250-750nm, step size 0.5/1nm, slit 1/2nm
3. Result report: The "UV-Vis absorption peak equivalent" attribute and standard basis must be indicated
This standard is particularly suitable for quantum dot synthesis process optimization and product quality control scenarios, providing key characterization basis for applications such as biomarkers and optoelectronic displays.
