SÍNTESE E CARACTERIZAÇÃO DE PONTOS QUÂNTICOS AMBIENTALMENTE AMIGÁVEIS, UM MEIO SIMPLES DE EXEMPLIFICAR E EXPLORAR ASPECTOS DA NANOCIÊNCIA E NANOTECNOLOGIA EM CURSOS DE GRADUAÇÃO

Nanotechnologies and nanomaterials are very current and interesting topics and can be used as interdisciplinary tools in education. They can be used to work in a practical and interesting way with lots of subjects. In chemistry teaching it can be particularly important to consolidate the nanomaterials, nanotechnology and characterization teaching. Among the nanomaterials, quantum dots (QDs) can be highlighted due to their interesting optical and electronical properties. Some of the topics that can be discussed related to them are the nanoparticles synthesis, spectroscopies and optical characte...
