Biocompatible ZnS:Mn quantum dots for reactive oxygen generation and detection in aqueous media

What is it about?

We report here the versatility of Mn-doped ZnS quantum dots (ZnS:Mn QDs) synthesized in aqueous medium for generating reactive oxygen species and for detecting cells.

Why is it important?

Our experiments provide evidence leading to the elimination of Cd-based cores in CdSe/ZnS systems by substitution of Mn-doped ZnS.
