• -terminated polyethylene glycol (PEG-OH)thiol and amino-terminated polyethylene glycol (PEG-NH2)thiol with a ratio of 3 to 1. This enables to obtain stable colloidal solutions of quantum dots. Then the covalent binding of the QD surface amino groups with the Ce6 carboxyl functional groups using EDAC as a

• solution. Such colloidal solutions are commercially available with a variety of concentrations and particle sizes [21]. We used a range of diameters (down to 40 nm) and found the most consistent results in terms of self-assembly for 200 nm diameter and 2% particle concentration. Different methods of

• pores [20]. The first option was applied to reduce the intracrystalline diffusion path length [21]. However, separation of these nanozeolites is difficult, since they tend to aggregate and form colloidal solutions. Moreover, nanozeolites often have different properties compared to their larger
