Synthesis and encapsulation of biocompatible PbS quantum dots passivated with different capping ligands

Semiconductor nanoparticles, also known as quantum dots (QDs), have unique properties including stable fluorescence with high quantum yields. These properties are size and composition dependent. QDs are promising candidates for non-invasive deep tissue imaging in the near-infrared wavelength range 7...
