description The modern epoch of semiconductor nanotechnology focuses on its application in biology, especially in medical sciences, to fetch direct benefits to human life. Fabrication of devices for biosensing and bioimaging is a vibrant research topic nowadays. Luminescent quantum dots are the best option to move with, but most of them are toxic to living organisms and hence cannot be utilized for biological applications. Recent publications demonstrate that surface treatment on the nanoparticles leads to enhanced luminescence properties with a drastic reduction in toxicity. The current work introduces surface-modified CdS, prepared via a simple green chemical route with different medicinal leaf extracts as the reaction media. Lower toxicity and multiple emissions in the visible region, observed for the CdS-O.tenuiflorum hybrid structures, make them a better option for future biological applications. Furthermore, the hybrid structure showed enhanced electrical properties, which promises its use in modifying the current optoelectronic devices.
