Ternary quantum dots (QDs) are novel nanomaterials that can be used in chemical analysis due their unique physicochemical and spectroscopic properties. These properties are size-dependent and can be adjusted in the synthetic protocol modifying the reaction medium, time, source of heat, and the ligand used for stabilization. In the last decade, several spectroscopic methods have been developed for the analysis of organic and inorganic analytes in biological, drug, environmental, and food samples, in which different sensing schemes have been applied using ternary quantum dots. This review addresses the different synthetic approaches of ternary quantum dots, the sensing mechanisms involved in the analyte detection, and the predominant areas in which these nanomaterials are used.
三元量子点（QDs）是一种新型纳米材料，由于其独特的物理化学和光谱性质，可用于化学分析。这些性质与尺寸有关，可以通过在合成方案中改变反应介质、时间、热源和用于稳定的配体来进行调整。在过去的十年中，已经开发了几种用于分析生物、药物、环境和食品样品中有机和无机分析物的光谱方法，其中应用了不同的传感方案来使用三元量子点。本综述介绍了三元量子点的不同合成方法、分析物检测中涉及的传感机制，以及这些纳米材料的主要应用领域。
