Stable DHLA–PEG capped PbS quantum dots: from synthesis to near-infrared biomedical imaging
The short shelf-life of water-soluble quantum dots (QDs) due to colloidal instability represents a major drawback to their exploitation. This work examines the colloidal stability of PbS nanoparticles capped with dihydrolipoic acid–polyethylene glycol (DHLA–PEG) ligands terminated with functional gr...
