In this review, we systematically analyzed the complicated interrelationship between photoluminescent quantum dots (QDs) and reactive oxygen species of biological importance. QDs, when photoexcited, generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are partially blamed for the cytotoxicity of QDs. On the positive side, the ability of generating ROS by QDs are exploited in photodynamic therapy using QDs alone or in combination with QD-surface bound organic sensitizers via resonance energy transfer from QDs to the organic dyes. Lastly, depending on the chemical composition and the functionalization of the QDs, ROS are known to quench or switch-on the QD photoluminescence. The selectivity and sensitivity toward specific ROS can be achieved through judicious chemical modification of QD surface coating layers by taking into account the reactivity difference among different ROS. The flexible QD surface functionalization opens up the unprecedented possibility of designer-made nanoprobes for sensing and quantifying ROS of biological importance.
