Abstract
The specific features of luminescence of colloidal solutions of Q-CdS with particles of different size and the regularities of luminescence quenching by quenchers of various nature were studied. The luminescence spectra of Q-CdS consist of several bands, which are shifted to the long-ware region as the particle size increases. The dependence of the integral quantum yield of luminescence on the particle size has a sharp maximum at a particle diameter of −23Å. A Stem—Volmer-type equation including the adsorption isotherm of the quencher molecules on the surface of the Q-CdS colloidal particles was used to describe the regularities of luminescence quenching of Q-CdS colloidal solutions. The CdS particle size was found to affect the efficiency of luminescence quenching. The regularities of luminescence quenching depend both on the rate constant of electron transfer to the quencher molecules and on the ability of the quencher molecules to be adsorbed on the surface of the CdS colloidal particle.
