Copper indium selenide (CISe) quantum dots (QDs) are a class of extremely appealing candidates for various biological applications due to their composition- and size-dependent photoluminescence and low toxicity. However, the synthesis of high-quality water-soluble CISe QDs with controlled compositio...
