AIS QDs exhibit broad photoluminescence (PL) spectra in the visible and near infrared, which are tunable by size and chemical composition (ratio of components or doping). In order to enhance the PL quantum yield (PL QY or Fpl) and prevent material deterioration and oxidation, these QDs are covered by ZnS shell. Here we show a spectroscopic study of differently colored AIS QDs synthesized in water, evaluating their PL properties, their PL QY and their PL decay. The simple aqueous synthesis that avoids further ligand exchange steps for bioanalytical applications, the tunable emission color, the high PL QY, the high absorption coefficients and the long lifetime make these t-QDs promising Cd-free materials as biodiagnostic tools or optical active materials.
