“…In addition, these capping ligands provide the interface to many applications. Among the different ligands to be considered, long chain thiols, that some years ago appeared to be an excellent choice for most of semiconducting and metal NPs [ 136 ], have been revealed as one of the most successful cases of QD capping or functionalisation [ 137 ]. Yang et al [ 137 ] cite thioglycolic acid (TGA), 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MPA), reduced glutathione (GSH), L-cysteine (L-Cys), sodium 2-mercaptoetahensulfonate (MES) and 1-thioglycerol (TG) as the most widely used thiol-capping agents.…”

However, they only studied the complexation properties of MPA, GSH, TG and MES with CdTe QDs, combining theoretical calculations with experimental UV–Vis absorption spectra.…”

Semiconductor Quantum Dots as Target Analytes: Properties, Surface Chemistry and Detection

Since the discovery of Quantum Dots (QDs) by Alexey I. Ekimov in 1981, the interest of researchers in that particular type of nanomaterials (NMs) with unique optical and electrical properties has been increasing year by year. Thus, since 2009, the number of scientific articles published on this topic has not been less than a thousand a year. The increasing use of QDs due to their biomedical, pharmaceutical, biological, photovoltaics or computing applications, as well as many other high-tech uses such as for displays and solid-state lighting (SSL), has given rise to a considerable number of studies about its potential toxicity. However, there are a really low number of reported studies on the detection and quantification of QDs, and these include ICP–MS and electrochemical analysis, which are the most common quantification techniques employed for this purpose. The knowledge of chemical phenomena occurring on the surface of QDs is crucial for understanding the interactions of QDs with species dissolved in the dispersion medium, while it paves the way for a widespread use of chemosensors to facilitate its detection. Keeping in mind both human health and environmental risks of QDs as well as the scarcity of analytical techniques and methodological approaches for their detection, the adaptation of existing techniques and methods used with other NMs appears necessary. In order to provide a multidisciplinary perspective on QD detection, this review focused on three interrelated key aspects of QDs: properties, surface chemistry and detection.

Porous tantalum metal is a new orthopedic implant material made of tantalum metal that has been processed by porous treatment. This material has various advantages, including high hardness, good ductility, good biocompatibility, and strong bone integration ability. Porous tantalum metal has performed well in clinical application, demonstrating excellent medium‐ to long‐term curative effects. The use of implant products made of porous tantalum metal, such as porous tantalum rods, porous tantalum hip prostheses, and porous tantalum augments (MAs), is gradually increasing in the clinical application of hip surgery, and these products have achieved excellent therapeutic effects in the middle and late stages of various hip diseases. In recent years, the combined application of porous tantalum metal and three‐dimenional (3D) printing technology to create personalized 3D‐printed porous tantalum metal has led to new development directions for the treatment of complex hip joint surgical diseases. This review presents a summary of the application of porous tantalum metal in hip surgery in recent years, including clinical treatment effects and existing problems. In addition, the prospect of progress in this field is promoted.

Three-dimensional (3D) laser nanoprinting allows maskless manufacturing of diverse nanostructures with nanoscale resolution. However, 3D manufacturing of inorganic nanostructures typically requires nanomaterial-polymer composites and is limited by a photopolymerization mechanism, resulting in a reduction of material purity and degradation of intrinsic properties. We developed a polymerization-independent, laser direct writing technique called photoexcitation-induced chemical bonding. Without any additives, the holes excited inside semiconductor quantum dots are transferred to the nanocrystal surface and improve their chemical reactivity, leading to interparticle chemical bonding. As a proof of concept, we printed arbitrary 3D quantum dot architectures at a resolution beyond the diffraction limit. Our strategy will enable the manufacturing of free-form quantum dot optoelectronic devices such as light-emitting devices or photodetectors.
