Capping of Mn-Doped ZnS Quantum Dots with DHLA for Their Stabilization in Aqueous Media: Determination of the Nanoparticle Number Concentration and Surface Ligand Density
Mn-doped ZnS quantum dots capped with 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) were synthesized by a facile method in aqueous solution as a ratiometric fluorescent (I590 nm/I458 nm) probe for curcumin.
A new fluorescence sensor for the determination of thioctic acid (TA) in aqueous media based on the recovered fluorescence of N-acetyl-l-cysteine capped CdTe quantum dots [NALC-CdTe QDs]–Cu2+ system was proposed.
