Synthesis Strategies and Applications of Non-toxic Quantum Dots
https://doi.org/10.1007/s11814-024-00279-y
Abstract
This review provides an in-depth analysis of the latest non-toxic quantum dot (QD) synthesis strategies and their applications
in optoelectronics and biomedical engineering. In addition, this review presents the development of synthetic approaches
for non-heavy metal QDs that retain the desirable photophysical properties of their traditional counterparts while reducing
their potential toxicity. We highlight the pivotal role of non-toxic QDs in advancing display technologies, focusing on their
contribution to improving color purity and brightness in next-generation screens. In the biomedical fi eld, applications of
non-toxic QDs in bio-imaging, bio-sensing, and targeted drug delivery have been elaborated, emphasizing their enhanced
biocompatibility and utility in precise diagnostics and therapeutics. The authors present insights and challenges underlining
the transformative potential of non-toxic QDs for high-resolution display devices and advanced biomedical solutions to
improve their functional attributes and safety for practical use.
