“…Then, the reaction mixture was heated to reflux (100°C) under atmospheric conditions with a condenser attached for different time intervals. Finally, the as-prepared CdTe alginate QDs were precipitated with ethanol, collected via centrifugation and dispersed in distilled water [21]. In the gamma irradiation method, the aqueous solution containing CdCl2 and SeO2 is aerated under N2.…”

Research on quantum dots (QDs) as zero-dimensional nanostructures whose size is not more than a few nanometers has accelerated in the last two decades, especially in the field of medicine. These nanostructures have attracted much attention due to their unique features such as broad excitation range, narrow emission, strong fluorescence, and high resistance to photobleaching. In this chapter, besides common QDs such as cadmium (Cd)-containing semiconductor QDs, other QDs including carbon-based QDs, chalcogenide QDs, and black phosphorus QDs will be discussed. In addition to describing the optical characteristics of these nanostructures, the usual synthesis methods, their modification and cytotoxicity will be reviewed. Finally, the application of each category of QDs in cancer cell imaging will prospect in more detail.
