This review summarizes recent progress in the design and applications of cadmium-free
quantum dots (Cd-free QDs), with an emphasis on their role in biophotonics and …

Quantum dots (QDs) have received great interest for diverse applications due to their distinct
advantages, such as narrow and symmetric emission with tunable colors, broad and strong …

Introducing a few atoms of impurities or dopants in semiconductor nanocrystals can
drastically alter the existing properties or even introduce new properties. For example, mid …

PVA/CMC blended polymers loaded with (1-x) MnS/xZnS nanocomposites were prepared
applying the thermolysis and casting methods. The different phases developed in the …

A series of Cu doped Zn–In–S quantum dots (Cu: Zn–In–S d-dots) were synthesized via a
one-pot noninjection synthetic approach by heating up a mixture of corresponding metal …

Insertion of just a few impurity atoms in a host semiconductor nanocrystal can drastically
alter its phase, shape, and physical properties. Such doped nanomaterials now constitute an …

Mn2+-doped ZnS nanocrystals with an amine-cap** layer have been synthesized and
used for the fluorescence detection of ultratrace 2, 4, 6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) by quenching …

In this paper, Mn-doped ZnS quantum dots (QDs) capped by a molecularly imprinted
polymer (MIP) were synthesized. The results showed a high selectivity of the MIP-capped …

Quantum dots (QDs) are promising building blocks for luminescent solar concentrators
(LSCs), yet most QD‐based LSCs suffer from toxic metal composition and color tinting. UV …

It has been an outstanding problem that a semiconducting host in the bulk form can be
doped to a large extent, while the same host in the nanocrystal form is found to resist any …
