Original Abstract
Current issues solved in synthesis of highly luminescent QDs are their easy preparation, biocompatibility, stability and solubility in water. Up to now, the most frequently used approaches reported on the preparation of colloidal QDs are (1) synthesis of hydrophobic QDs with subsequent solubilization step, (2) direct aqueous synthesis or (3) two-phase synthesis. Compared with hydrophobic or two-phase approaches, aqueous synthesis is reagent-effective, less toxic and more reproducible. There is variety of capping ligand used to provide solubility and biocompatibility of QDs in aqueous synthesis, mainly thiol organic compounds. Among them, GSH has gained the most attention due to its excellent properties and application in detection or sensing purposes. Our chapter describes the most commonly used techniques for preparation of various GSH-coated QDs based on heavy metal chalcogenides, namely CdTe, CdS, CdSe and alloyed or simple Zn-based QDs.
