Article Abstract
Pnictide-based quantum dots (QDs) have emerged as promising materials for next-generation infrared photodetectors due to their superior physical and electrical properties. Among them, InAs and InSb QDs are particularly attractive for their tunable bandgaps in the short-wave infrared (SWIR) region, high carrier mobility, and compatibility with solution-based, large-area, and low-cost fabrication processes. This review discusses recent advancements in the synthesis of InAs and InSb QDs, focusing on precursor strategies and surface engineering techniques to enhance their optical and electronic properties. Additionally, we explore their integration into infrared photodetectors, analyzing current performance and limitations. Finally, we outline future research directions aimed at further enhancing material properties and device performance, paving the way for the broader adoption of III-V QDs in next-generation infrared technologies.

Immunoelectron Microscopy (IEM) is a technique that combines specific immunolabeling with high-resolution electron microscopic imaging to achieve precise spatial localization of biomolecules at the subcellular scale (< 10 nm) by using high-electron-density markers such as colloidal gold and quantum dots. As a core tool for analyzing the distribution of proteins, organelle interactions, and localization of disease pathology markers, it has irreplaceable value, especially in synapse research, pathogen-host interaction mechanism, and tumor microenvironment analysis. According to the differences in labeling sequence and sample processing, the IEM technology system can be divided into two categories: the first is pre-embedding labeling, which optimizes the labeling efficiency through the pre-exposure of antigenic epitopes and is especially suitable for the detection of low-abundance and sensitive antigens; the second is post-embedding labeling, which relies on the low-temperature resin embedding (e.
