Semicondutor quantum dots-based metal ion probes

Abstract: Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) exhibit unique optical and photophysical properties that offer significant advantages over organic dyes as optical labels for chemo/bio-sensing. This review addresses the methods for metal ion detection with QDs, including photoluminescent, electrochemiluminescent, photoelectrochemical, and electrochemical approaches. The main mechanisms of direct interaction between QDs and metal ions which lead to photoluminescence being either off or on, are discussed in detail. These direct… Show more

“…The structures of these clusters are shown in Figure 3, similar to previous studies. 43,44 The configurations and adsorption energies are also summarized in Figure 3 Previous studies reported 45,46 that a Cd−thiol complex surface layer was created as a shell around the CdTe QDs core to occupy the surface sites and to passivate the QDs. In addition, the binding force of Cd−Se bond was much greater than that of Cd-thiol.…”

“…The popular nanoparticles used for sensing include noble metals (especially Au) [98,169,372,382], quantum dots (both traditional semiconductor quantum dots and new emerging graphene quantum dots) [196,259,393,456,462,500], transition metals [96,234], and magnetic particles [390,434].…”

“…QDs are a new class of fluorescent probes for molecular imaging with unique photophysical properties, such as size‐tunable light emission, high signal brightness, simultaneous excitation of multiple fluorescence colors, and resistance against photobleaching 89. QDs are another versatile type of nanocarriers that contain dual‐imaging and therapeutic functions to overcome drug resistance of cancers.…”
