Measured time-resolved emission decay profiles.
(a) Time-resolved emission decay profiles of CdS QDs immersed in deionized water or PVS aqueous solution under microwave irradiation or conventional heating (time range = 100 ns). Blue dotted spectrum was the instrument response function. (b) Temperature dependence of time-resolved emission decay profiles of CdS QDs immersed in a PVS aqueous solution. These were measured at different solution temperatures: 42 °C, 52 °C and 62 °C. (c) Time-resolved emission decay profiles of CdS QDs immersed in deionized water or PVS aqueous solution under microwave irradiation or conventional heating (time range = 20 ns). (d) Time-resolved emission decay profiles of CdS QDs immersed in DQS aqueous solution under microwave irradiation or conventional heating (time range = 20 ns).
