In the last two decades, quantum dots (QDs) have demonstrated great potential for biophotonics applications such as optical imaging and analytes sensing. For these purposes, cadmium-based (Cd-based) QDs are most commonly used because of their excellent optical properties, while cadmium-free (Cd-free...
