- Abstract
- In this paper, we investigated the effect of temperature on photoluminescence of quantum dots immobilized on the surface of an optical fiber in a rat brain slice. The optical fiber was silanized with 3-aminopropyl trimethoxysilane (APTMS), following which quantum dots with carboxyl functional group were immobilized on the optical fiber via amide bond formation. The effect of temperature on the fluorescence intensity of the quantum dots in rat brain slices was studied. This report shows that the fluorescence intensity of quantum dots increases with the increase of temperature of the brain slice. The fluorescence enhancement phenomenon appears to take place via electron transfer related to pH increase. With the gradual increase of temperature, the fluorescence intensity of quantum dots in solution decreased, while that in the brain slice increased. This enhanced thermal performance of QDs in brain slice makes suggestion for the study of QDs-based brain temperature sensors.
