Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a quantum dot synthesizing apparatus and a quantum dot synthesizing method,

The present invention relates to quantum dot synthesis, and more particularly, to a device capable of synthesizing quantum dots having a uniform light emission distribution and a simple synthesis process, and a stable quantum dot synthesis method using the apparatus.

With the development of technology, nano-technology (NT), which is intended to synthesize so-called nanomaterials having a nanometer size and utilize nanomaterials in various industries, is attracting attention. When the size of a material is reduced to nanometers, nanotechnology researches and develops the properties of such nanomaterials, as it has various electrical and chemical properties that could not be seen with larger particles.

As the size of the material becomes smaller and the dimension of the material becomes lower, a quantum confinement effect that does not appear in general materials appears. Particularly, in the case of a zero-dimensional nano semiconductor material which is smaller than the de Broglie wavelength involved in all the particles having momentum, the band gap energy of the particle increases relatively as the size of the material decreases. Therefore, Various colors can be realized. Among these nanomaterials, Quantum Dot, which is a zero-dimensional semiconductor crystal material having a diameter of several tens of nanometers or less, is attracting attention as a material that can be applied to various industrial fields.

The quantum dots can accommodate a wider range of sunlight than conventional solar cells because they can absorb various wavelengths of sunlight depending on their size. Quantum dots are similar in size to proteins, which are the main molecules of living organisms, and can be used for drug diagnosis and biomaterials. In addition, quantum dots are also applied to electronic devices and displays because the color of emitted light changes according to size.

Since Qdots are chemically synthesized inorganic materials, they are stable, cost-effective, and have a longer life than organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) based on organic materials that can be decomposed by optical reaction. In addition, quantum dots have better color reproducibility than OLEDs and can compensate for the disadvantages of liquid crystal displays (LCDs). The full width at half maximum (FWHM) is about 20-30 nm, It has the advantage of excellent color purity because it is narrow. As a result, the quantum dot is attracting attention as a next-generation light emitting device in the display field.

As a method for synthesizing a quantum dot, an organometallic compound, which is a metal precursor constituting a quantum dot, is injected into a high-temperature solvent and thermally decomposed to obtain a metal ion concentration higher than a nuclear threshold, Solution synthesis methods that synthesize on a colloidal solution that grows nanocrystals through a thermodynamic process are generally adopted. Through the solution synthesis method, quantum dot synthesis can be classified into a precursor synthesis process, a core synthesis process, a shell synthesis process, and a precipitation process for synthesizing a quantum dot in an appropriate solution.

For example, Patent Document 1 proposes a quantum dot manufacturing apparatus for reacting a precursor solution with a solvent using an agitating means such as an impeller. However, in the case of the apparatus for producing quantum dots in Patent Document 1, it is difficult to control the quantum dot synthesis reaction time as desired. As a result, the reaction time for synthesizing the quantum dots may be prolonged. Further, when a magnetic stirrer is used, the quantum dots can not be uniformly synthesized throughout the reaction part. Therefore, the conventional quantum dot synthesizer and the quantum dot synthesized using the same have a problem of low stability and low quantum efficiency, and it is difficult to control the luminous efficiency of the quantum dot.

With respect to the nanomaterial, when the size of the quantum dots becomes smaller than the radius of the exciton in which the electrons and the holes constituting the semiconductor material are coupled by the coulomb force, the movement of the electrons constituting the semiconductor material becomes a quantum A quantum confinement effect occurs. The quantum confinement effect shows discontinuous quantized energy levels. The quantum dots have a characteristic that the energy band gap (E g ) varies with size and shape. That is, as the size of the quantum dots decreases, the exciton transition energy increases. Therefore, by controlling the size of the quantum dots, the energy band gap can be widely changed over the visible ray region to the ultraviolet ray / infrared region. Generally, as the crystal growth time of the nanomaterial particles such as the quantum dots increases, the size of the quantum dots increases, the fluorescence color of the quantum dots changes from blue to red, and the absorption and fluorescence spectra move to a longer wavelength.

The temperature of the coil-shaped first core mixing portion 420 constituting the first core reaction portion 410 can be raised by the inflow and discharge of the heating medium. Accordingly, the quantum dot core can be synthesized by reacting the precursor solution introduced into the coil-shaped first core mixer 420 with the solution of the quantum dot core synthesis solution.

For example, when a cadmium selenium compound (CdSe) is to be synthesized as a quantum dot core according to one exemplary embodiment, the precursor solution and the precursor solution in the first core- The precursor solution and the quantum dot core synthesis solution are mixed in the coil-shaped first core mixer 420 for 60 minutes or less, preferably 30 minutes or less, for 200 minutes or less, so that the quantum- 400 ° C, preferably 200 to 300 ° C.

The size of the synthesized quantum dot particles can be controlled according to the reaction temperature and the reaction time described above, so that the emission spectrum of the quantum dot can be controlled. As the reaction temperature and / or reaction time become longer, the quantum dot core particles grow and the wavelength of the emission spectrum changes according to the particle size. When the reaction temperature and / or the reaction time is less than the above-mentioned range, the growth of the quantum dot core may not occur. If the reaction temperature and / or the reaction time exceed the above-mentioned range, the quantum dot particles become very large, There is no problem.

When the quantum dot core is synthesized by mixing and reacting the precursor solution and the quantum dot core synthesis solution, the circulation control valve 426 located downstream of the first coil mixer 420 is opened and closed. Accordingly, the quantum dot core heated to a high temperature is discharged from the first core reaction section 410 through the first core discharge line 426 connected downstream of the coil-shaped first core mixing section 420. The first core discharge line 426 is connected to the core inflow line 462 through the valve 450 and the core inflow line 462 is connected to the second coil reacting section 460 And is connected to the core mixing section 470.

The temperature of the coil-shaped second core mixing portion 470 constituting the second core reaction portion 460 can be controlled by the inflow and discharge of the coolant. For example, the temperature of the coil-shaped second core mixing portion 470 may be lowered to 5 to 20 ° C by the inflow of a coolant to cool the quantum dot core introduced from the first core reaction portion 410.

Next, the shell reaction unit 500, which can be continuously connected to the core reaction unit 400, will be described. The shell reaction unit 500 includes a first shell reaction unit 510, which may be a reaction unit for heating a high-temperature heat treatment so that the quantum-dot-core solution supplied from the core reaction unit 400 can react with the quantum- And a second shell reaction unit 560, which may be a cooling reactor for cooling the quantum dot shell synthesized in the first shell reaction unit 510.

The core discharge line 476 is connected to the core supply line 512 through a valve 490 and the core supply line 512 is connected to a coiled first shell mixer 520, respectively. Meanwhile, the quantum dot shell synthesis solution is injected into the coil-shaped first shell mixing portion 520 of the first shell reaction portion 510 through the shell injection portion 514 formed independently of the core supply line 512.

In one exemplary embodiment, the quantum dot shells synthesized in the first shell reacting section 510 may be zinc sulfide (ZnS). At this time, the quantum dot shell synthesis solution injected into the coil-shaped first shell mixing portion 520 through the shell injection portion 514 may be ODES synthesized in the fourth precursor reaction portion 240 (see FIG. 2). If necessary, a quantum dot buffer layer synthesis solution stacked one or more layers between the quantum dot core and the quantum dot shell may be injected through the shell injection section 514 to form one or more buffer layers between the quantum dot core and the quantum dot shell. For example, the quantum-dot buffer layer synthesis solution may include cadmium oleate synthesized in the first precursor reaction unit 210 (see FIG. 2), zinc oleate synthesized in the third precursor reaction unit 230 (see FIG. 2), 1-octadecene ) And oleylamine (OLA).

Accordingly, the quantum dot core solution supplied through the core supply line 512 and the quantum dot shell solution injected through the shell injection unit 514 can be circulated through the coil-shaped first shell mixer 520 do. Circulation control valves 522 and 524 are positioned at both ends of the coil-shaped first shell mixing section 520 for injection and circulation of the quantum dot core solution and the quantum dot shell synthesis solution into the coil-shaped first shell mixing section 520 have. The entire length or inner diameter of the coil-shaped first shell mixing portion 520 and the quantum dot core solution and the quantum dot shell synthesis solution in the coil-shaped first shell mixing portion 520 due to the opening and closing of the circulation control valves 522 and 524 It is possible to synthesize a quantum dot core having a desired wavelength band by controlling the circulation time of the quantum dot, i.e., the reaction time.

According to one exemplary embodiment, the length and inner diameter of the coil-shaped first shell mixing portion 520 in which the quantum dot core solution and the quantum dot shell synthesis solution are mixed and reacted can be adjusted and adjusted, The particle size of the quantum dot core can be controlled by adjusting the opening and closing times of the circulation control valves 522 and 524 disposed at both ends of the unit 520. [

For example, when the total amount of reactants such as the quantum dot core solution and the quantum dot shell synthesis solution fed into and injected into the coil-shaped first shell mixer 520 is 500 mL, the inner diameter of the coil- 1 to 5 cm, preferably 2 to 4 cm, and more preferably 2.5 to 3.5 cm, and the total length of the curved coil as the coil-shaped first shell mixing portion 520 is approximately 70 to 130 cm, 80 to 120 cm, and more preferably 90 to 110 cm. At this time, preferably, in the coil-shaped first shell mixer 520, these reaction solutions are mixed in the coil-shaped first core mixer 520 so that the quantum-dot core solution and the quantum- 30 to 70% by volume, preferably 40 to 60% by volume.

On the other hand, on the side of the first shell reaction part 510, a second heating medium inlet line 532 for supplying a high-temperature heating medium, for example, heated oil to the outside of the coil-shaped first shell mixing part 420, And a second heat medium discharge line 534 for discharging the heat medium circulated inside the first shell reaction part 410 to the outside. The temperature of the coil-shaped first shell mixing portion 520 constituting the first shell reaction portion 510 can be raised by the inflow and discharge of the heating medium. Accordingly, the quantum dot shell can be synthesized by reacting the quantum dot core solution introduced into the coil-shaped first shell mixing portion 520 with the quantum dot shell synthesis solution. As described above, when necessary, the quantum dot core solution and the quantum dot buffer synthesis solution may react first to form a quantum dot buffer layer of one or more layers before synthesizing the quantum dot shell.

For example, a case is described in which cadmium zinc sulfide (CdZnS) is formed as a quantum dot buffer layer according to one exemplary embodiment, and then zinc sulfide (ZnS) is synthesized as a quantum dot shell. The quantum dot core solution (for example, CdSe) synthesized in the core reaction part 400 and the quantum dot buffer layer synthesis solution react first in the coil-shaped first shell mixing part 520 of the first shell reaction part 510, The quantum dot core solution and the quantum dot buffer layer synthesis solution can be reacted at a temperature of 200 to 300 DEG C for 60 minutes or less, preferably 30 minutes or less, in the coil-shaped first shell mixing portion 520 so as to form a buffer layer have. In this case, the quantum dot buffer layer may be stacked by one or more layers, for example, from 1 to 5 layers. When the quantum dot buffer layer is formed, the quantum dot shell synthesis solution is injected into the coil-shaped first shell mixing portion 520 through the shell supply line 512 and is injected into the coil-shaped first shell mixing portion 520 for 200 minutes or less, preferably 200 minutes or less, To 300 < 0 > C. Similar to the quantum dot buffer layer, the quantum dot shell may be formed of one or more layers, for example, one to five layers of quantum dot shells may be laminated.

The size of the synthesized quantum dot particles can be controlled according to the reaction temperature and the reaction time described above, so that the emission spectrum of the quantum dot can be controlled. As the reaction temperature and / or reaction time become longer, the quantum dot core particles grow and the wavelength of the emission spectrum changes according to the particle size. When the reaction temperature and / or the reaction time is less than the above-mentioned range, the growth of the quantum dot core may not occur. If the reaction temperature and / or the reaction time exceed the above-mentioned range, the quantum dot particles become very large, There is no problem.

Accordingly, the quantum dot shell heated at a high temperature is discharged from the first shell reaction portion 510 through the shell discharge line 526 connected downstream of the coil-shaped first shell mixing portion 520. The shell discharge line 526 is connected to the shell inlet line 562 through a valve 550 and the shell inlet line 562 is connected to the coil shaped second shell mix 560 disposed within the second shell reaction section 560. [ (570).

The temperature of the coil-shaped second shell mixing portion 570 constituting the second shell reaction portion 560 can be adjusted by the inflow and discharge of the coolant. For example, the temperature of the coil-shaped second shell mixing portion 570 is lowered to 5 to 20 占 폚 by the inflow of the refrigerant, and the quantum dots of the core-shell structure introduced from the first shell reaction portion 510 - buffer layer - quantum dots of the shell structure).

The quantum dots of the core-shell structure cooled in the second shell reaction part 560 are discharged to the outside through the quantum dot discharge line 576 connected to the downstream side of the coil-shaped second cell mixing part 570. The valve 590 may be located in the quantum dot discharge line 576 to control the discharge of the cooled quantum dots through the quantum dot discharge line 576. The emitted quantum dots will be processed by particle size distribution so that only quantum dots of appropriate size can be separated.
