Abstract
Quantum dots are the most exciting representatives of nanomaterials. They are synthesized by modern methods of nanotechnology pertaining to both inorganic and organic chemistry. Quantum dots possess unique physical and chemical properties; therefore, they are used in very different fields of physics, chemistry, biology, engineering and medicine. It is not surprising that the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 2023 was given for discovery and synthesis of quantum dots. In this review, modern methods of synthesis of quantum dots, their optical properties and practical applications are analyzed. In the beginning, a short historical background of quantum dots is given. Many gifted scientists, including chemists and physicists, were engaged in these studies. The synthesis of quantum dots in solid and liquid matrices is described in detail. Quantum dots are well-known owing to their unique optical properties, that is why the attention in the review is focused on the quantum-size effect. The causes for fascinating blinking of quantum dots and techniques for observation of a single quantum dot are explained. The last part of the review describes important applications of quantum dots in biology, medicine and quantum technologies. Bibliography — 772 references.
期刊介绍:
Russian Chemical Reviews serves as a complete translation of the esteemed monthly review journal Uspekhi Khimii, which has been a prominent figure in Russian scientific journals since its establishment in 1932. It offers comprehensive access to the advancements made by chemists from Russia and other former Soviet Union countries.
Established in 1932, Russian Chemical Reviews is committed to publishing timely and significant review articles encompassing various facets of modern chemistry, including chemical physics, physical chemistry, computational and theoretical chemistry, catalysis, coordination chemistry, analytical chemistry, organic, organometallic, and organoelement chemistry, chemistry of macromolecules, applied chemistry, biochemistry, bio-organic chemistry, biomolecular chemistry, medicinal chemistry, materials chemistry, nanochemistry, nanostructures, and environmental chemistry.
