Se QDs to retain stable fluorescence at proton concentrations up to 0.8 mol/L, exhibiting a four-orders-of-magnitude enhancement in proton tolerance compared to conventional mercaptopropionic acid-capped QDs. This work provides a universal paradigm for designing proton-resistant QDs and advances nanomaterial engineering for harsh environments.
