Overall, despite the significant and rapid progress in quantum dots (QDs) and tailorable microporous
structures, they remain relatively immature technologies that have not yet been fully integrated into real-life
applications, leaving significant space for exploration. A deeper and more fundamental understanding of
complicated properties, such as interfacial bonding, conductivity, and structural and functional diversity, is
expected to unlock new opportunities in the areas of light emission, biomedicine, catalysts, and energy
storage.
