What Types of Nanomaterials Exhibit Fluorescent Properties?
Several nanomaterials exhibit fluorescent properties, including:
- Quantum Dots: Semiconductor nanoparticles that offer high brightness and photostability. - Carbon Dots: Carbon-based nanoparticles that are non-toxic and exhibit strong fluorescence. - Metal Nanoclusters: Tiny clusters of metal atoms, such as gold or silver, that exhibit unique fluorescence due to quantum confinement effects. - Polymer Dots: Fluorescent polymers that are used for their biocompatibility and tunability.
