Abstract

Effective silica coating on hydrophobic quantum dots (QDs) was achieved by ultrasonic fragmentation of lipophilic silane–QDs precusor into water-soluble micelles and subsequent silicate deposition. This method allowed high retention of QD fluorescent properties and an easy scaling over the size and loading amount of silica beads.
