The review discusses the main methods used to obtain surface-modified quantum dots, specifically silicon, heavy metal chalcogenide and pnictide semiconductor nanoparticles. Examples of transformation processes of the grafted layer are considered. The importance of surface modification of AIIBVI- and AIIIBV-type semiconductor nanoparticles for the practical application of quantum dots is shown. It was determined that the most promising areas of their practical application are biology, medicine, and pharmacology. Special attention is paid to the hydrophilization of quantum dots, because only these materials can be used in biomedical applications. Modification of the quantum dot surface with amino acids is considered.
