Fluorescence Quenching by Forster Resonance Energy Transfer in Carbon-Cadmium Sulfide Core-Shell Quantum Dots.

ABSTRACT: Carbon quantum dots (QDs) are an active subject of research in many areas of science and engineering for various applications. The present work reports the first occurrence of a carbon-cadmium sulfide core-shell QD prepared by an extremely simplified wet chemical approach where the CdS shell plays the role of a fluorescence quencher to the carbon core. The quenching effect was confirmed by fluorescence spectroscopy (steady-state and lifetime). These QDs stand as a potential candidate for sensing and imaging applications.
