Enhancing Near‐Infrared Photoluminescence of Ag 8 GeS 6 Quantum Dots Through Compositional Fine‐Tuning and ZnS Coating for In Vivo Bioimaging (Small 32/2025)
Source abstract
Abstract
In Vivo Bioimaging Non-stoichiometric Ag8GeS6 quantum dots (QDs) have been newly synthesized, exhibiting near-infrared (NIR) photoluminescence (PL) peaking at 900 nm. The PL quantum yield is enhanced to 40% through ZnS coating. Ag8GeS6@ZnS core-shell QDs serve as NIR probes for deep-tissue imaging. PL signals are clearly detectable from depths of at least 15 mm beneath the dorsal skin of a mouse. More in article number 2411142, Hiroshi Yukawa, Tsukasa Torimoto, and co-workers.
