Abstract

In this study, double shelled NIR CdSeTe/CdS/C quantum dots (QDs) were synthesized by a liquid phase method. The as-prepared QDs showed low cytotoxicity and good biocompatibility due to the formation of carbon shell. The imaging of targeted Human cervical carcinoma cells (HeLa cells) indicates that the CdSeTe/CdS/C QDs have excellent optical properties and cell viability. These results clearly shows that the CdSeTe/CdS/C QDs can be a good candidate for bioapplications.<br /> (Copyright © 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.)
