A review on I–III–VI ternary quantum dots for fluorescence detection of heavy metals ions in water: optical properties, synthesis and application

Abstract

Ternary I–III–VI quantum dots used in the fluorescence detection of heavy metals ions in water.

A ratiometric luminescence sensing platform based on lanthanide-based silica nanoparticles for selective and sensitive detection of Fe3+ and Cu2+ ions

“…[15][16][17][18][19][20] Luminescent probes/sensors for Fe 3+ and Cu 2+ have been widely reported. [21][22][23][24][25][26] However, these fluorescent probes/ sensors mainly exhibit a single emission, which is easily disturbed by the environmental uncertainties arising from external conditions, such as the concentration, temperature and difficult-to-differentiate intensity change. The ratiometric fluorescence detection with dual-emission includes an intrinsic built-in correction to influence from detection systems and background signals and can avoid the above limits perfectly.…”

Colloidal III–V quantum dots: a synthetic perspective

“…Pertinent examples are given for each category with a strong focus on InP, the most researched III-V QD (Figure 1). 18 Finally, a perspective on the future direction of the field is presented. Thus, we aim to provide the reader with a holistic, rather than exhaustive, overview of the field and equip them with the necessary tools to explore it further.…”

Integration of ternary I-III-VI quantum dots in light-emitting diodes

“…In addition, compared to their binary analogues, TQDs have a higher degree of compositional flexibility and size control. For example, CuInS 2 , CuGaS 2 , and AgInS 2 nanomaterials have been recently applied to the construction of LEDs ( Mei et al, 2018 ; Wang et al, 2019 ; Su et al, 2020 ; Oluwafemi et al, 2021 ; May et al, 2022 ; Wei et al, 2022 ). This review describes the synthesis, physicochemical properties, and application of TQDs for LEDs production and includes a perspective of LEDs development using TQDs.…”
