Abstract

As a potential biological imaging probe with a long-wavelength of emission, InP quantum dots were prepared via a high-temperature organic solution approach, and successfully transferred into an aqueous system through a ligand-exchange process using various functional surfactants. Photoluminescence and X-ray characterizations confirmed the desired properties of the InP quantum dots. The cytotoxicity of the water-soluble InP quantum dots against phaeochromocytoma PC12 cells as evaluated by the MTS cell viability assay was low relative to a positive control, poly(ethyleneimine). This study suggests a bright potential for this new type of InP quantum dots in bioimaging applications.
