Quantum dots (QDs) are a group of semiconducting nanomaterials with unique optical and electronic properties. They have distinct advantages over traditional fluorescent organic dyes in chemical and biological studies in terms of tunable emission spectra, signal brightness, photostability, and so forth. Currently, the major type of QDs is the heavy metal-containing II-IV, IV-VI, or III-V QDs. Silicon QDs and conjugated polymer dots have also been developed in order to lower the potential toxicity of the fluorescent probes for biological applications. Aqueous solubility is the common problem for all types of QDs when they are employed in the biological researches, such asin vitroandin vivoimaging. To circumvent this problem, ligand exchange and polymer coating are proven to be effective, besides synthesizing QDs in aqueous solutions directly. However, toxicity is another big concern especially forin vivostudies. Ligand protection and core/shell structure can partly solve this problem. With the rapid development of QDs research, new elements and new morphologies have been introduced to this area to fabricate more safe and efficient QDs for biological applications.

Rare earth (R) ion-doped TiO2 nanocomposites (NCs) with general composition (R: Y, Yb, Gd; , 0.2) were synthesized through co-precipitation/hydrolysis (CPH). NC particles with average size of approximately a few tens of nm were obtained. Similar compositions of polycrystalline (PC) samples with larger particle size were also prepared employing solid state reaction (SSR) method. Visible light photocatalytic activity of all samples was investigated for degradation of Congo red (CR) dye. Both in terms of apparent rate constant () and percent degradation after 180 min (), all NCs produced significantly enhanced degradation as compared to pure TiO2 and PC samples. Best degradation of 95% ( value) resulted with composition of Y3+ doped NC with  min−1. This was followed by of 85 and 80%, produced with Yb3+ and Gd3+ doped, NCs, at around and  min−1, respectively. The observations clearly suggest that enhanced photocatalytic degradation of CR is directly related to smaller particle size of the catalysts. Moreover, the presence of rare earth ions in the composites facilitates further improvement of degradation efficiency through effective suppression of recombination.

Nanotechnology is the key technology that brings many important applications in biomedical research.Nanolantanites present high stability, easy fabrication and functionalization. Tb3+ ion-containing nanomaterial, a specific type of nanolantanites, possess great prospects. In addition, cancer stem cells (CSCs) are directlyrelated to drug resistance, metastasis, recurrent cancer, etc. Therefore, CSCs are considered as the target forcancer researching and for discovery of more effective therapies. CD133, a trans-membrane glycoprotein, isone of the typical markers that are found to appear very commonly on the surface of many types of CSCs. Inthis study, CD133 monoclonal antibody (MAb) was cojugated with nanomaterials containing Tb3+. Thecoupling between fluorescented nanomaterials containing Tb3+ ions and CD133 MAb was then incubated withhuman colon cancer cells (HT-29) to evaluate its ability to label CSCs in vitro. The results showed thatnanorods containing rare-earth based Tb3+ ions which were fabricated by hydrothermal method, present thelength of about 300 - 800 nm and the diameter in range of 40 - 50 nm. The Tb3+ nanoparticals also havehexagonal structure of terbium phosphate monohydrate and green illuminant. Tb3+ nanorods were also furthersurface silica coated and amino-silane functionalized. This nanostructure was successfully combined withmonoclonal antibodies against CD133 which labelled the surface marker of HT-29 human colon cancer cells.As a result, the combination of CD133+TbPO4@Silica-NH2 (functionalized surface) showed strongerluminescence than the CD133+TbPO4 unfunctionalized combination.
