  • Fabrication of light emitting film coated fullerenes and their application for in-vivo light emission
    Patent number: 8361349
    Abstract: A nanoparticle coated with a semiconducting material and a method for making the same. In one embodiment, the method comprises making a semiconductor coated nanoparticle comprising a layer of at least one semiconducting material covering at least a portion of at least one surface of a nanoparticle, comprising: (A) dispersing the nanoparticle under suitable conditions to provide a dispersed nanoparticle; and (B) depositing at least one semiconducting material under suitable conditions onto at least one surface of the dispersed nanoparticle to produce the semiconductor coated nanoparticle. In other embodiments, the nanoparticle comprises a fullerene. Further embodiments include the semiconducting material comprising CdS or CdSe.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 18, 2010
    Date of Patent: January 29, 2013
    Assignees: William Marsh Rice University, Natcore Technology Inc.
    Inventors: Andrew R. Barron, Dennis J. Flood, John Ryan Loscutova
