To produce microgels that have a very large pore structure with a high internal fluid content, one can utilize cross-junctions in the microfluidics to encapsulate quantum dot metal cores into a hydrogel microcapsule with size distributions typically within 5 %. Using such techniques, it is possible to obtain microgel particles in the size range of 10-1,000 pm [3].

The nanocomposile materials of FAU-Agl and MFI-AgI with high guest-contents in the form of quantum wires or three-dimensional nanocrystals exhibit optical properties different from quantum dots. In addition, silver-modified zeolites and silver halide encapsulated zeolites offer potential applications as fast-ion conductors, information storage materials, or photoconductors.
