ABSTRACT:
A formulation comprises quantum dots and a quenching-preventive agent in a carrier material. The quenching-preventive agent is a metal chelating agents, a corrosion inhibitor, or a combination thereof. The formulation can be applied to a metal substrate, without experiencing metal ion induced fluorescence quenching.
