Water-soluble Cu-In-Zn-S quantum dots (CIZS QDs) with orange fluorescence have been synthesized with a glutathione (GSH) as stabilizer via facile a one-step hydrothermal method. The optimal reaction conditions of CIZS QDs including temperature, time, pH, and the molar ratios of precursors were studied. TEM results indicate that the aqueous-dispersible CIZS QDs are quasi-spherical, and the average diameters are 3.76 nm with excellent fluorescent stability. Furthermore, the cytotoxicity of CIZS QDs was investigated by the microcalorimetry combining with TEM and the was 10.2 μM CIZS QDs showed a promising perspective in applications such as a fluorescent probe for bioimaging and biolabeling due to the low cytotoxicity and good biocompatibility. Moreover, the CIZS QDs can distinguish Pb ion from other ions, offering great potentials in lead ion determination in drinking water. According to the results of UV, XRD, FL, PL, and ITC methods, the mechanism of CIZS QDs-Pb assay is due to hydrogen bonding or van der Waals forces in the formation of Pb and CIZS QDs.

Visible-driven photocatalytic hydrogen production using narrow-bandgap semiconductors has great potential for clean energy development. However, the widespread use of these semiconductors is limited due to problems such as severe charge recombination and slow surface reactions. Herein, a quasi-type-II heterostructure was constructed by combining bifunctional Ni-based metal-organic framework (Ni-MOF) nanosheets with BDC (1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid) linker coupled with Cu-In-Zn-S quantum dots (CIZS QDs).

Multicomponent quantum nanostructures have attracted significant attention due to their potential applications in photovoltaics, optoelectronics and bioimaging. However, the preparation of anisotropic quaternary nanoheterostructures such as Cu-In-Zn-S(Se) (CIZS and CIZSe) is still very poorly explored and understood. Here, we report the synthesis and studies of NIR emissive CIZSe/CIZS/ZnS core/shell/shell nanoheterostructures with a unique hetero-nanonail (HNN) morphology.

Environmentally friendly and long PL lifespan Mn-doped CuInZnS (Mn:CIZS) and CuInZnS/ZnS (Mn:CIZS/ZnS) QDs, with respective red and yellow emissions, were synthesized using nontoxic precursors via a facile dual-step process based on the one-pot method. The resulting Mn:CIZS and Mn:CIZS/ZnS QDs exhibited confirmed strong red and yellow photoluminescence emissions at approximately 654 nm and 580 nm, respectively. The measured PL decay lifespan for the Mn: CIZS QDs is 2.

A facile approach towards photoluminescent (PL) Cu-In-Zn-S quantum dots (CIZS QDs) has been developed, comprising microwave treatment with the assist of room-temperature ionic liquid (RTIL). Because of its high polarizability, RTIL served as a microwave absorbent, which resulted in the increase of the instantaneous nucleation rate and the rapid synthesis of CIZS QDs at low temperature. Moreover, the surface decoration of QDs with RTIL can passivate the surface defects greatly.
