چکیده

Highly luminescent oil-soluble quaternary Zn-Ag-In-Se (ZAISe) quantum dots (QDs) with extremely wide emission covering the spectral range from 550 to 1000 nm have been synthesized for the first time. These broadly emissive quaternary QDs are demonstrated to have greater potential in the use of one probe for multi-spatial scale biomedical imaging than binary CdTe and ternary Cu-In-S QDs.

Applications of Quantum Dots in Cell Tracking

Tracking cells after transplantation is always one the main concerns of researchers in the field of regenerative medicine. Finding a tracer with long stability and low cytotoxicity can be considered as a solution for this issue. Semiconductor nanocrystals, also called quantum dots (QDs), have unique photophysical properties which make them as suitable candidate in this setting. Broad-range exci...

Multiplex Photoluminescent Silicon Nanoprobe for Diagnostic Bioimaging and Intracellular Analysis

Herein, a label-free multiplex photoluminescent silicon nanoprobe (PLSN-probe) is introduced as a potential substitute for quantum dots (QDs) in bioimaging. An inherently non-photoluminescent silicon substrate is altered to create the PLSN-probe, to overcome the major drawbacks of presently available QDs. Additionally, crystallinity alterations of the multiplane crystalline PLSN-probes lead to ...

Somatostatin Decorated Quantum Dots Nanoparticles for Targeting of Somatostatin Receptors

Due to the unique optical properties like high brightness and narrow emission bands of Quantum dots, it is used as simple fluorescence materials in bio-imaging, immunoassays, microarrays, and other applications. To easy invistigate cell lines that overexpressed somtostatin receptors, somatostatin (SST) was conjugated with Quantum dots carrying PEG amine (Qdots-PEG-NH2). The conjugation of SST t...

حساس سازی همزمان سلول‌های خورشیدی نقاط کوانتومی متشکل ازفوتوآند نانوبلوری TiO2 با نانوذرات CdS و PbS و بررسی تأثیر نقاط کوانتومی PbS بر عملکرد سلول خورشیدی

In this research, CdS and PbS quantum dots were applied as the light sensitizers in TiO2 based nanostructured solar cells. The PbS quantum dots could absorb a wide range of the sunlight spectrum on earth due to their low bandgap energy. As a result, the cell sensitization is more effective by application of both CdS and PbS quantum dots sensitizers. The TiO2 nanocrystals were synthesized throug...
