Research related to the development and application of luminescent nanoparticles (LNPs)
for chemical and biological analysis and imaging is flourishing. Novel materials and new …

This review summarizes traditional and recent nonconventional, bioinspired, methods for the
aqueous synthesis of colloidal semiconductor quantum dots (QDs). The basic chemistry …

We report on the state-of-the art synthesis and improved luminescence properties of thiol-
capped CdTe nanocrystals (NCs) synthesized in water. The optimized pH (12) and molar …

The collective properties of nanoparticles manifest in their ability to self-organize into
complex microscale structures. Slow oxidation of tellurium ions in cadmium telluride (CdTe) …

Advances in nanotechnology research on quantum dots (QDs)—water soluble ZnS‐capped,
CdSe fluorescent semiconductor nanocrystals—for in vivo biomedical applications have …

It is commonly observed that the “traditional” aqueous solution route to prepare CdTe
nanocrystals (NCs) using thiol ligands as capping reagents is usually very time-consuming …

To investigate size and capping agent-dependent alignment and electro-optic effects of
quantum dots (QDs) in nematic LCs, mixtures of a nematic phenylpyrimidine LC (LC1) …

The aqueous synthesis of thiol-stabilized semiconductor CdTe colloidal nanocrystals has
been revisited. We found optimal conditions for the synthesis of high-quality CdTe NCs …

With the rapid development of quantum dot (QD) technology, water-soluble QDs have the
prospect of being used as a biological probe for specific diagnoses, but their biological …

The present article is devoted to systematically exploring the influence of various
experimental variables, including the precursor concentration, the ligand nature, the …
