Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a quantum dot and a method for producing the same, and more particularly to a hydrophilic modified π_νι family of quantum dots and a method for preparing the same.曰[Prior Art] Most of the baryon points are II-VI or ιπ_ν. The semiconductor nano: particles 'have significant quantum limitations due to their size characteristics: should be (quantum Confinement effect), stimulated by the same laser Next, due to the particle size, he emits different colors of light 'in addition' compared to the conventional one: fluorescent dyeing 'quantum dots have flicker (high brightness, high photochemical stability, higher excitation spectrum, higher (four) light f Sub-efficiency 1 single-wavelength laser (4) Excitation of quantum dots of (4) emits multiple wavelengths of emitted waves, narrow and symmetrical symmetry of the transmitted wave, and repeatable excitation, making quantum dots extremely useful in the application of biomedical and optoelectronic components. Potential and development value. "Due to the fact that Xia Zi points mostly use hydrophobic solvents in the synthesis, the surface of the quantum dots produced is mostly hydrophobic (as shown on the left side of the arrow in Figure i), and cannot directly interact with biomolecules. Before the application of the raw f, the surface of the quantum dot must be modified to be hydrophilic so that it can directly enter the cell or adsorb on the cell surface. However, the group attached to the surface of the particle can also be used with the nanomedicine. The combination of the monthly b-force 'allows the $ sub-point to enter - step for biomedical examination, diagnosis and treatment. At first glance, 'to synthesize stable hydrophilic quantum dots (or called the water phase quantum straight - a tricky The problem, but in general, can be modified by the surface of the hydrophobic ionic point - a layer of hydrophilic substances f, such as thiol compounds _), polymers (P〇lymers) and lumps (ph〇sph〇ii (four), etc. 201116479 Referring to Figure 1, there are three main ways to synthesize aqueous quantum dots: (I) Ligand exchange: mainly replacing the quantum dots with the sulfhydryl terminal (-SH) containing a sulfhydryl compound. The hydrophobic substance on the surface is bonded to the surface of the quantum dot, and the carboxyl group (-COOH) at the other end is a hydrophilic ligand, and provides the surface charge of the quantum dot, so that the quantum dot can be stably dispersed in the aqueous solution. Silica encapsulation: a glass-like structure dominated by cerium oxide is added to the surface of a quantum dot with a sulfhydryl group to increase the hydrophilicity of the quantum dot. (III) Hydrophobic effect Hydrophobic interaction: profit A polymer or phospholipid having a dimorphic end, tightly embedded in the outer layer of the nano quantum dot, and utilizing the hydrophilic outer end to improve the hydrophilicity of the quantum dot. Although the quantum of the aqueous phase can be synthesized by the foregoing manner Point, but the method (I) to modify the surface of the quantum dot with a mercapto compound can significantly reduce the quantum yield of photoluminescence (PL), and the outer layer of the molecule formed by the method (II) is a branch The cross-linked structure makes the particle size larger and easily generates interparticle reactions. In order to avoid mutual reaction between the particles, the quantum dots must be controlled at extremely low concentrations, and the method (III) is to modify the polymer on the surface of the quantum dots. Although (polymers) or lipid-filling can prevent a decrease in the quantum efficiency of PL, the particles are made larger, and it is difficult to carry out research based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer, and it is difficult to develop the applicability. In addition to the above disadvantages, since the conventional method of synthesizing hydrophilic quantum dots 201116479 is to first synthesize hydrophobic quantum dots, and then surface-modifying the hydrophobic quantum dots to convert them into hydrophilic quantum dots, relatively more manufacturing is required. The steps take more time and have a lack of manufacturing efficiency. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a hydrophilic modified II-VI quantum dot which is capable of being stably dispersed in an aqueous phase and having better photostability and which can be directly synthesized. .

The hydrophilic modified π_νι group quantum dots of the present invention are modified by a plurality of first groups and at least one second group on the surface of the core containing the π-νι compound, the bundle ends of the first groups Γ1 is a hydrophilic group, which is beneficial to make the neutron point have excellent hydrophilicity and can be stably dispersed in the water phase; the 基=0 bond of the second group can effectively protect the core, so that the quantum efficiency is not changed by the external environment. And attenuation, in addition, it is worth mentioning that the hydrophilic groups of the first group and the terminal Υ2 of the second base map are biocompatible molecules (such as proteins, antibodies, amino acids and DNA). The combination of functional groups is thus more conducive to the application in the field of biomedicine. 201116479 The present invention also provides a method for preparing the hydrophilic modified ιι_νι group of quantum dots, and comprises the following steps: (i) using a -π group ion source and a mercapto gr〇Up compound under an inert gas atmosphere; 'a phosphonic acid compound and water are mixed to obtain a first reaction liquid; (π) to prepare a second reaction liquid containing a -νι ion source and water; (iii) Mixing the first reaction liquid with the second reaction liquid to obtain a mixture, and subjecting the mixture to a nucleation reaction at a temperature lower than 1 〇〇〇c; and (iv) purifying the mixture after the reaction to The hydrophilic modified II-VI quantum dots are prepared.

以紫外光-可見光光譜儀及螢光光譜儀(型號:Thermo Spectronic, Aminco Bowman® Series 2 Luminescence Spectrometer)分別量測實施例及比較例所製得之量子點溶 液,結果分別如圖3及4所示,其中曲線A1及A2顯示光 吸收率之測試結果及曲線B1及B2顯示螢光強度之測試結 果。 (結果) 如圖3所示,曲線A1顯示實施例之量子點溶液在 400nm〜550nm都有良好的吸光情形,例如'在波長500 nm下 約具有0.1 a.U.之光吸收率,顯示該量子點具有寬的激發光 譜。另外,當以單一波長(波長值為365 nm)的Xenon燈照 射實施例之量子點溶液,曲線B1顯示受激發的量子點所發 射出的螢光光譜半高寬(Full-Width Half-Maximum,簡寫為 FWHM)僅為47 nm,其波峰位置約在522nm,且光譜呈狹 窄且對稱的形狀,說明本發明製法所製出的量子點可表現 穩定而容易判別的發射光譜而適於進行作為追蹤標記,並 13 201116479 有作為生物分子標定與檢測的應用潛力。 相較於比較例,由圖4之曲線A2來看,比較例之量子 點溶液的光吸收率明顯較低,例如在波長500 nm下约具有 〇.〇2 a.u.之光吸收率,如此證明實施例之量子點溶液具有較 佳之光吸收度。再看圖4之曲線B2,螢光強度的最高波峰 位置在555 nm ’很明顯地與實施例有所區別,顯示本發明 之量子點與經MPA修飾之CdSe量子點有所不同。 2.保存溶液之pjj值探討 依據實施例之步驟(i)〜(iv)製備量子點,再將所製出的鲁 經MPA及EDPA修飾之CdSe量子點分別保存在pH7 73、 PH8.2及pH8.8的Tds-HCl溶液中,再以波長為365nm的 雷射光分別照射保存在前述三種溶液中的量子點以量測其 發射的螢光光譜,結果如圖5所示。 (結果) 於圖5中,顯示pH值越高的溶液可量測到較高且明顯 的螢光強度,實驗過程中也嘗試將量子點保存在pH值低於 5的溶液中,所量測到的螢光光譜強度較低且不明顯,並有鲁 沉澱現象產生,顯示量子點在酸性條件下不穩定,因此在 酸性溶液中會造成其螢光減弱甚至消失。 3. 量子點粒徑量測 以高解析度穿透式電子顯微鏡(曰本製,型號:je〇l JEM-2010)觀察實施例及比較例所製得的量子點溶液,垆果 分別如圖6及7所示。 (結果) 14 201116479 由圖6可看出該等詈 取 子2的顆粒大小相當一致且沒有 K '的睛形’顯示該等量子點可穩定分散於水中,另 ::對-預定區域範圍内的量子點分別量測其粒徑並計 具後,顯示本發明量子點的平均粒徑為3η一。 的取t:於比^例’如^ 7所示’比較例的量子點有明顯 成團情形’且無法均句分散在水中。由此更證明本 發明的量子點具有可穩定分散於水中的優點。 4· 光穩定性量測The quantum dot solution prepared in the examples and the comparative examples was measured by an ultraviolet-visible spectrometer and a fluorescence spectrometer (Model: Thermo Spectronic, Aminco Bowman® Series 2 Luminescence Spectrometer), and the results are shown in Figures 3 and 4, respectively. Curves A1 and A2 show the test results of the light absorption rate and curves B1 and B2 show the test results of the fluorescence intensity. (Results) As shown in Fig. 3, the curve A1 shows that the quantum dot solution of the example has good light absorption at 400 nm to 550 nm, for example, 'having a light absorptance of about 0.1 aU at a wavelength of 500 nm, indicating that the quantum dot has Wide excitation spectrum. In addition, when the quantum dot solution of the example is irradiated with a Xenon lamp of a single wavelength (wavelength value of 365 nm), curve B1 shows the full-width half-maximum of the fluorescence spectrum emitted by the excited quantum dot (Full-Width Half-Maximum, Abbreviated as FWHM) is only 47 nm, its peak position is about 522 nm, and the spectrum is narrow and symmetrical, indicating that the quantum dots produced by the method of the present invention can exhibit stable and easily discernable emission spectra and are suitable for tracking. Mark, and 13 201116479 has potential applications as biomolecule calibration and detection. Compared with the comparative example, the light absorption rate of the quantum dot solution of the comparative example is significantly lower than that of the curve A2 of FIG. 4, for example, having a light absorption rate of 〇.〇2 au at a wavelength of 500 nm, thus demonstrating the implementation. The quantum dot solution has a better light absorbance. Referring again to curve B2 of Figure 4, the highest peak position of the fluorescence intensity at 555 nm' is clearly different from the examples, showing that the quantum dots of the present invention differ from the MPA-modified CdSe quantum dots. 2. Preservation of the pjj value of the solution According to the steps (i) to (iv) of the examples, the quantum dots are prepared, and the prepared CdSe quantum dots modified by MPA and EDPA are separately stored at pH 7 73, pH 8.2 and In a Tds-HCl solution of pH 8.8, the quantum dots stored in the above three solutions were respectively irradiated with laser light having a wavelength of 365 nm to measure the fluorescence spectrum of the emitted light, and the results are shown in Fig. 5. (Results) In Figure 5, it is shown that the higher the pH value, the higher and significant fluorescence intensity can be measured. During the experiment, the quantum dots are also tried to be stored in a solution with a pH below 5, and the measurement is performed. The fluorescence spectrum of the obtained fluorescence is low and inconspicuous, and there is a phenomenon of Lu precipitation, which indicates that the quantum dots are unstable under acidic conditions, so that the fluorescence is weakened or even disappeared in the acidic solution. 3. Quantum dot particle size measurement The high-resolution penetrating electron microscope (曰本, model: je〇l JEM-2010) was used to observe the quantum dot solution prepared in the examples and comparative examples. 6 and 7 are shown. (Results) 14 201116479 It can be seen from Fig. 6 that the particle sizes of the extracts 2 are fairly uniform and there is no K 'eye shape' indicating that the quantum dots can be stably dispersed in water, and the::-to-predetermined region After the quantum dots were respectively measured for their particle diameters and counted, it was shown that the average particle diameter of the quantum dots of the present invention was 3η. Take t: in the case of the quantum dot of the comparative example shown in the example of 'the same as '7', there is a significant clustering situation' and it is impossible to disperse the water in the water. This further demonstrates that the quantum dots of the present invention have the advantage of being stably dispersed in water. 4· Light stability measurement
