Degradation of quantum dots in aqueous environments

QDs are mixed-metal nanocrystals with the smallest of particle sizes (2-10 nm). QDs application (in electronics, pharmaceutical industry, etc.) has been rising dramatically in the recent years. QDs readily leach heavy metal cations in water, potentially creating a co-occurrence of nanoparticulate an...
