Abstract
Hybrid Pt-CdSe nanocomposite was fabricated by a two-step chemical route. Cadmium selenide (CdSe) quantum rods (QRs) were prepared by a one-pot approach with tunable size. After ligand exchange, CdSe QRs were loaded with monodisperse 1.9 nm Pt nanopaticles in aqueous solution. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed the morphology of the Pt-CdSe nanostructure, and the decreased photoluminescence (PL) intensity demonstrated that electron and hole separation can be enhanced after loading Pt on CdSe QRs. X-ray photoelectron energy spectrum (XPS) was applied to confirm the existence of Pt and detect the Pt mass concentration of 3%.
