This application relates to the technical field of nanomaterials, particularly, to a composite and its preparation method and application.
Quantum dots are semiconductor nanoparticles with a particle radius smaller than or close to the exciton Bohr radius, usually are composed of II-VI or III-V group elements. After quantum dots are excited by external light or electricity, the electrons in the excited state transit to lower energy levels and radiate energy in the form of light energy, emitting fluorescence. Quantum dots have the advantages of simple preparation, narrow half-width, small particles without scattering loss, high luminous efficiency and wide spectrum coverage, etc. It has a wide application prospect in the field of new display, lighting and biomarking.
Prior to that the quantum dots are truly commercialized, the issue of stability needs to be solved urgently. On the one hand, quantum dots themselves have a small distribution size, mostly below 10 nm. The specific surface area is very large, and are easily affected by environmental factors during preparation and use. For example: long-term exposure of quantum dots to the air, the contact of water and oxygen in the air will cause a lot of defects on the surface of quantum dots, thus greatly reducing its luminous efficiency and service life. On the other hand, quantum dots have a large number of long-chain organic ligands on the surface. These organic ligands are unstable at higher temperatures and can easily fall off, which significantly affects the performance of their QLED devices. Therefore, the problem of poor stability of quantum dots greatly limits the widespread application of quantum dots. At current stage, the most commonly used method to improve the stability of quantum dots is to use polymer or silica for coating, but these methods generally have some shortcomings, such as increasing the size of the quantum dots, damaging the surface of the quantum dots, and thus result in reduced light emitting efficiency.
Therefore, related technologies need to be improved and developed.

A composited material is provided by some embodiments of the present application, the composite comprises silica-coated quantum dots and graphene nanosheets bonded to the surface of each of the silica-coated quantum dots; wherein, each of the silica coated quantum dots comprises a quantum dot and a silica layer coated on the surface of the quantum dot, the graphene nanosheets and the silica layer are bonded by (O—)3Si—R1—NHCO—R3—CONH—R2—Si(O—)3 or (O—)3Si—R4—SCH2CH2—R5—Si(O—)3, wherein R1, R2, R4, and R5 are respectively selected from a group consisting of a hydrocarbyl or a hydrocarbyl derivative, R3 is selected from a group consisting of a hydrocarbyl, a hydrocarbyl derivative, an aryl, or an aryl derivative
The composite provided in the embodiments of the present application is composed of three parts: a quantum dot located inside, a silica layer covering the surface of the quantum dots, and a graphene nanosheet bonded to the outer surface of the silica layer. The surface of quantum dots can directly form a silica layer (silica-coated quantum dots), but the silica layer cannot be directly connected to graphene nanosheets, so the silica layer and graphene nanosheets are effectively connected by (O—)3Si—R1—NHCO—R3—CONH—R2—Si(O—)3 or (O—)3Si—R4—SCH2CH2—R5—Si(O—)3 to form the composite of the embodiment of the present application. On the one hand, graphene nanosheets not only have excellent water/oxygen resistance, but also can effectively prevent water/oxygen from eroding quantum dots, thereby avoiding the irreversible effect on quantum dots of the composites from the external environment. And graphene nanosheets also have excellent thermal conductivity, which can improve the thermal stability of the composite. On the other hand, if graphene nanosheets contact quantum dots directly, it will cause the quenching defect of quantum dots fluorescence, and the silica layer coated on the surface of the quantum dots can effectively prevent graphene nanosheets from directly contacting the quantum dots. At the same time, the silica layer can further improve the stability of the quantum dots. Therefore, the unique structure of the composite fully exerts the excellent performance of each component. Through the synergy of the silica layer and graphene nanosheets, the stability of the quantum dots can be further improved without affecting the inherent optical properties of the quantum dots, thereby improving luminous efficiency.
