Synthesis of iron oxide quantum dots by non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma electrolysis: influence of operating conditions and biomedical applications.

ABSTRACT: Iron oxide quantum dots (IOQDs) were synthesized in this work using a distinct non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma (NTAPP) electrolysis technique. The impact of the operational environment on the synthesis process was thoroughly investigated. The physicochemical properties of the synthesized IOQDs were studied using various methods, including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and vibrating-sample magnetometry (VSM). Further, a time-resolved spectrofluorometer equipped with a time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) system was used to measure the photoluminescence lifetime. To explore their potential in biomedical applications, the cytotoxicity and bio-imaging capabilities of
