Hits the dot : Ag 2 S quantum dots (QDs) with bright near‐infrared‐II fluorescence emission (around 1200 nm) and six‐arm branched PEG surface coating (see scheme) were synthesized for in vivo small‐animal imaging. The 6PEG‐Ag 2 S QDs afforded a tumor uptake of approximately 10 % injected dose/gram, owing to a long circulation half‐life of approximately 4 h. Clearance of the injected 6PEG‐Ag 2 S QDs occurs mainly through the biliary pathway in mice.
