Abstract
Methods for purifying nanocrystals via gel permeation chromatography are provided. The method can include: loading a sample solution into a chromatography column, wherein the sample solution comprises nanocrystals coated with a layer of organic ligands; using an eluent, passing the nanocrystals coated with the layer of organic ligands through a stationary phase of the chromatography column, wherein the eluent is an organic solvent in which the nanocrystals coated with the layer of organic ligands remain miscible to form a mobile phase; and collecting the mobile phase passed through the stationary phase of the chromatography column. The surface ligands of the purified nanocrystals can then be, in one embodiment, replaced with a second type of ligand.
