This review introduces quantum dots (QDs) and explores their properties, synthesis, applications, delivery systems in biology, and their toxicity. QDs are one of the first nanotechnologies to be integrated with the biological sciences and are widely anticipated to eventually find application in a number of commercial consumer and clinical products. They exhibit unique luminescence characteristics and electronic properties such as wide and continuous absorption spectra, narrow emission spectra, and high light stability. The application of QDs, as a new technology for biosystems, has been typically studied on mammalian cells. Due to the small structures of QDs, some physical properties such as optical and electron transport characteristics are quite different from those of the bulk materials.
本综述介绍了量子点 (QDs)，并探讨了它们的性质、合成、在生物学中的应用和传递系统，以及它们的毒性。量子点是最早与生物科学相结合的纳米技术之一，预计最终将在许多商业消费和临床产品中得到应用。它们具有独特的发光特性和电子特性，如宽而连续的吸收光谱、窄的发射光谱和高的光稳定性。量子点作为生物系统的一项新技术，已在哺乳动物细胞上进行了典型研究。由于量子点的小结构，一些物理性质，如光学和电子输运特性，与体材料有很大的不同。
