摘要: Metal–semiconductor heterostructures/composites are found to be a new class of functional materials because their unprecedented properties and potential applications. Various strategies have been adopted design such with unique properties. Here, we synthesized Au–CdTe nanocomposites using Au nanoclusters, the growth rate is controlled by changing Au : Cd ratio. The structural characterization done SAXS (small angle X-ray scattering), TEM (transmission electron microscopy), photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), FTIR (Fourier transformed infrared), steady state time resolved spectroscopy. blue shifting absorption band CdTe QDs strong photoluminescence quenching in presence suggest metal cluster–semiconductor composite formation. A study confirms Forster resonance energy transfer from proximal nanoclusters non-radiative decay rate. Interestingly, turn on signal i.e. enhancement (PL) intensity nanocomposite observed amino acid limit detection (LOD) for L-cystein 192 nM. These open up platforms optical based probes selective sensing acids.
