Abstract
platform to understand the synthetic mechanism or optimize reaction parameters for QD production. In this review, the recent research progress in microfluidic synthesis and bio-detection applications of QDs is discussed. The definitions of different QDs are first introduced, and the advances in microfluidic-based fabrication of quantum dots are summarized with a focus on perovskite QDs and carbon QDs. In addition, QD-based bio-sensing and bio-imaging technologies for organisms of different scales are described in detail. Finally, perspectives for future development of microfluidic synthesis and applications of QDs are presented.
