Preparation of colloidal solution of silica encapsulating cyanobiphenyl unit-capped ZnO QD emitting in the blue region

Dalton Trans. 2016 Jan 21;45(3):886-90. doi: 10.1039/c5dt03851k.

Abstract

The encapsulation of ZnO nanoparticles (5 nm) coated by cyanobiphenyl units by the sol-gel technique leads to spherical ZnO@SiO2 nanoparticles displaying blue emission under UV excitation.
