Embedding Luminescent Nanocrystals in Silica Sol-Gel Matrices

We have synthesized stable, highly luminescent silica xerogels as well as optically transparent, stable aerogels that were embedded with 2.5 nm and 6 nm CdSe and 6 nm InP quantum dots. By capping the quantum dot with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, a dot is able to condense within the structure of a f...
