title: Facile synthesis and application of highly luminescent CdTe quantum dots with an electrogenerated precursor.
abstract: An electrogenerated precursor has been developed for green synthesis of highly luminescent aqueous CdTe quantum dots (QDs) with unique quantum yield and strong electrogenerated luminescence, which can access cellular targets via specific binding and have potential application as biolabels in highly sensitive biosensing and cell imaging.
