Abstract: Water-soluble silica-coated quantum dots(QDs) were prepared by encapsulating hydrophobic QDs into silica via the reverse microemulsion method. The silica-coated QDs nanoparticles were further modified with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane(APTES). The as-prepared samples were characterized with transmission electron microscopy(TEM), particle size analyzer and zeta potential, UV-Vis absorption/Photoluminescence(PL) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR) measurements. The results show that the silica-coated QDs are well defined with ca. 45 nm, monodisperse, water-soluble, highly-stable. And the as-obtained silica-coated QDs with amino groups can label the cancer cell via the electrostatic attraction.
