Synthesis of Ag-In-Zn-S alloyed nanorods and their biological application

Monodisperse Ag-In-Zn-S (AIZS) nanorods with a length of 20 nm have been synthesized using a facile solution based route. These nanorods showed a wide range of fluorescence emissions from green to red, which was achieved by controlling the chemical composition. Moreover, the obtained AIZS nanorods showed high-quality photoluminescence, as well as attractive two-photon fluorescence properties, indicating their potential capability in biological tagging upon near-infrared excitation for deep tissue imaging. Furthermore, the AIZS nanorods presented in this report also show a promising perspective in applications such as solar cells and photocatalysts.
