“…Microwave-assisted (MW-assisted) synthesis is a technique that is widely used to synthesize quantum dots owing to several benefits. The main advantage is that the components can interact indirectly with microwave irradiation, which leads to heating the system uniformly and hence reduces any effects that may occur from temperature gradients when using other traditional ways to heat the system [52,53], and it produces quantum dots that are well crystalline when the heating rates exceed 100 • C [27]. This method provides the ability to control the amount of applied energy, which helps manage the volumetric and internal heating of the components [54].…”

“…This method provides the ability to control the amount of applied energy, which helps manage the volumetric and internal heating of the components [54]. In addition, the MW-assisted technique is a time-saving approach since it can produce QDs with a high quantum yield in less than 2.5 h [27], and it is considered a fast, cost-effective, safe, and easy method, which makes it so popular in many technological and research fields [53].…”

“…The study revealed that both concentration and the time of heating had considerable effects on the properties. In addition, the use of microwave rays led to the production of high-quality images (Figure 6) of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) owing to the heating method and the interaction between the electromagnetic field from MW irradiation and the reagents [27,53]. In Table 1, The advantages and disadvantages of the mentioned synthesis techniques are illustrated.…”

Cadmium-based alloyed quantum dots are one of the most popular metal chalcogenides in both the industrial and research fields owing to their extraordinary optical and electronic properties that can be manipulated by varying the compositional ratio in addition to size control. This report aims to cover the main information concerning the synthesis techniques, properties, and applications of Cd-based alloyed quantum dots. It provides a comprehensive overview of the most common synthesis methods for these QDs, which include hot injection, co-precipitation, successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction, hydrothermal, and microwave-assisted synthesis methods. This detailed literature highlights the optical and structural properties of both ternary and quaternary quantum dots. Also, this review provides the high-potential applications of various alloyed quantum dots.

“…18,44 However, despite the advantages of microwave synthesis, in some cases, the emission peak position, its width, and PL QY are not always reproducible due to possible heating irregularities. 45 Therefore, the problem of reproducibility of the aqueous synthesis protocol for ternary QDs remains an important challenge. Soheyli et al used a one-pot/two-step reflux approach for the synthesis of multicomponent ZnAgInS/ZnS QDs, AgInS/ZnS, and CuAgInS/ZnS structures in aqueous media with a PL QY of 31, 35, and 23%, respectively.…”

Three-dimensional (3D) spheroid cell cultures of fibroblast (L929) and tumor mammary mouse (4T1) were chosen as in vitro tissue models for tissue imaging of ternary AgInS/ZnS fraction quantum dots (QDs). We showed that the tissue-mimetic morphology of cell spheroids through well-developed cell−cell and cell−matrix interactions and distinct diffusion/transport characteristics makes it possible to predict the effect of ternary AgInS/ZnS fraction QDs on the vital activity of cells while simultaneously comparing with classical two-dimensional (2D) cell cultures. The AgInS/ZnS fractions, emitting in a wide spectral range from 635 to 535 nm with a mean size from ∼3.1 ± 0.8 to ∼1.8 ± 0.4 nm and a long photoluminescence lifetime, were separated from the initial QD ensemble by using antisolvent-induced precipitation. For ternary AgInS/ZnS fraction QDs, the absence of toxicity at different QD concentrations was demonstrated on 2D and 3D cell structures. QDs show a robust correlation between numerous factors: their sizes in biological fluids over time, penetration capabilities into 2D and 3D cell structures, and selectivity with respect to penetration into cancerous and healthy cell spheroids. A reproducible protocol for the preparation of QDs along with their unique biological properties allows us to consider ternary AgInS/ZnS fraction QDs as attractive fluorescent contrast agents for tissue imaging.
