By means of a simple and photo-induced method, four colors of molybdenum oxide quantum dots (MoOₓ QDs) have been synthesized, using Mo(CO)₆ as the structural guiding agent and molybdenum source. The as-prepared MoOₓ QDs display diverse optical properties due to the different configurations of oxygen vacancies in various nanostructures. Among them, crystalline molybdenum dioxide (MoO₂) with a deep blue color shows the most intense localized surface plasmon resonance effect in the near-infrared (NIR) region. The strong NIR absorption endows MoO₂ QDs with a high photothermal conversion efficiency of 66.3%, enabling broad prospects as a photo-responsive nanoagent for photothermal therapy of cancer. Moreover, MoO₂ QDs can also serve as a novel semiconductor substrate for ultrasensitive surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) analysis of aromatic molecules, amino acids and antibiotics, with SERS performance comparable to that of noble metal-based substrates. The therapeutic applications of MoO₂ QDs open up a new avenue for tumor nanomedicine.
