Journal ArticleDOI
Controlling ZIF-8 nano- and microcrystal formation and reactivity through zinc salt variations
Aleksandra Schejn,Lavinia Balan,Véronique Falk,Lionel Aranda,Ghouti Medjahdi,Raphaël Schneider +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a simple method for controlling the crystal size and morphology of zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) nanocrystals in methanol solution was reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Folic acid-conjugated core/shell ZnS:Mn/ZnS quantum dots as targeted probes for two photon fluorescence imaging of cancer cells.
Malgorzata Geszke,Marek Murias,Lavinia Balan,Ghouti Medjahdi,Jarosław Korczyński,Michał Moritz,Janina Lulek,Raphaël Schneider +7 more
TL;DR: The folate receptor-mediated delivery of folic acid-conjugated ZnS:Mn/ZnS QDs was demonstrated using confocal microscopy with biphotonic excitation, and Bare and folate- Conjugated QDs exhibit only weak cytotoxicity towards folate receptors-positive T47D cancer cells and MCF-7 cells, used as a reference, after 72h incubation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Porous Mn-doped ZnO nanoparticles for enhanced solar and visible light photocatalysis
Faouzi Achouri,Faouzi Achouri,Serge Corbel,Lavinia Balan,Kevin Mozet,Emilien Girot,Ghouti Medjahdi,Myriam Ben Said,Ahmed Ghrabi,Raphaël Schneider +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of Mn2+-doping on the structural, optical and photocatalytic properties of ZnO particles were investigated and it was shown that Mn2−doping shifts the optical absorption to the visible region, increases the specific surface area of the photocatalyst and reduces the recombination of electronhole pairs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biocompatible and stable ZnO quantum dots generated by functionalization with siloxane-core PAMAM dendrons
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used tetramethylammonium hydroxide as cross-linking agent to functionalize hydrophobic oleate-capped ZnO QDs with poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrons.
Journal ArticleDOI
One-Pot Noninjection Route to CdS Quantum Dots via Hydrothermal Synthesis
Abdelhay Aboulaich,Denis Billaud,Mouhammad Abyan,Lavinia Balan,Jean-Jacques Gaumet,Ghouti Medjadhi,Jaafar Ghanbaja,Raphaël Schneider +7 more
TL;DR: The combination of moderate pH value, low concentration of precursors and slow growth rate plays the crucial role in the good optical properties of the obtained CdS nanocrystals, which hold a good potential to be applied in optoelectronic devices and biological applications.
