Reversible phase transfer of quantum dots and metal nanoparticles.
A general, reversible phase transfer protocol was demonstrated for quantum dots and metal nanoparticles. The protocol involves ligand exchange based transfer of nanoparticles from organic medium to aqueous phase, followed by electrostatic interaction based reversible transfer of nanoparticles between aqueous and organic phases.
