A catalyst includes a carrier, and a metal obtained by reducing a metal ion supported on the carrier 1) in a supercritical state or 2) in a polar organic solvent, wherein the carrier is an inorganic porous body having a hierarchical porous structure. By employing the catalyst, it is possible to exhibit better catalytic activity than a conventional catalyst. Heat generation and spontaneous ignition are prevented because no organic porous body is used.

The present disclosure provides quantum dot organic ligand and preparation method thereof, quantum dot structure material, quantum-dot-containing layer, and quantum-dot-containing light emitting diode. The quantum dot organic ligand have the following structure R1-(R2).sub.n-R3, wherein R1 is a chelating group capable of chelating with a metal; R2 is a group having a conjugated electron pair, and n is a positive integer; and R3 is organic group. The conjugated electron pair structure of R2 facilitates delocalization of electrons, which can improve the transport and conduction of electrons and/or holes, thereby improving the efficiency of quantum dots and lowering the turn-on voltage.
