Advancements in the Synthesis of Near-Infrared Ag2E(S,Se,Te)Quantum Dots and Their Applications in Medical Diagnosis and Therapy
Quantum dots are becoming increasingly significant in the realms of molecular detection,cellular labeling,and in vivo imaging,with near-infrared quantum dots specifically garnering research interest for bioimaging applications.This article primarily discusses the synthesis methods of Ag2E(S,Se,Te)quantum dots suitable for near-infrared emission in both organic and aqueous phases,as well as their cutting-edge applications in medical diagnostics and therapy.These applications include near-infrared fluorescence imaging,photoacoustic imaging,X-ray imaging,as well as photothermal therapy and photodynamic therapy.While Ag2S quantum dots have been extensively explored for biomedical applications,our focus is more on the development of all three types of Ag2E quantum dots and their applications in the field of medical diagnostics and therapy.In conclusion,we summarize the fundamental properties of Ag2E quantum dots and discuss the prospects of quantum dot applications in biomedicine.
