Synthesis of biocompatible near infrared fluorescence Ag2S quantum dot and its application in bioimaging

Near infrared (NIR) emitting quantum dots (QDs) is a promising candidate for biomedical imaging in living tissues. However, the biomedical application of NIR QDs was not satisfactory due to their toxicity. Ag2S QDs was reported to have negligible toxicity in organisms. Therefore, the appropriate nar...
