A Comprehensive Study of Quantum Dots: Ranging From Synthesis to Applications in Electrochemical Biosensors in the Detection of Biomolecules, Gastrointestinal Diseases, and Electrophysiology

Nano Select, EarlyView.
Quantum dots (QDs) typically refer to extremely small semiconductor particles, often no larger than 10 nm. The development of efficient biosensors for the sensitive and selective detection of biomolecules is essential for fundamental research in analytical chemistry, biomedicine, clinical diagnosis, and electrophysiology.
