Functionalized Carbon-based Quantum Dots: Optical Characterization and Potential Application as Bio-fluorophore

Post-functionalization of sulfur quantum dots and their aggregation-dependent antibacterial activity

“…However, harsh reaction conditions must be used, and there is limited control over the desired functionality to be incorporated. [24][25][26] The second method involves surface chemical modifications and multistep chemical synthesis. [27][28][29][30] Because of these suboptimal conditions, there is a need to design and develop a facile approach to modify the surface of non-metallic QDs.…”
