Correlation of near-unity quantum yields with photogenerated excitons in X-type ligand passivated CsPbBr perovskite quantum dots.

We investigated the exciton decay dynamics of CsPbBr perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) through an X-type ligand passivation process. 1-Dodecanethiol (DDT), as an X-type ligand, covers Br vacancies of PQDs and then the photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) sharply improved from 76.1% to 99.

Fluorescent protein nanoparticles: Synthesis and recognition of cellular oxidation damage.

Intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation are associated with many diseases. Lots of studies focus on the detection of intracellular ROS by small fluorescent molecules. However, ROS recognized by biocompatible nanoparticles are relatively less reported.
