The invention discloses a method for purifying quantum dots, comprising the steps of: providing a quantum dot solution, the quantum dot solution includes quantum dots and chloroform; providing a gel plate, the gel plate includes agarose gel and dispersed in the Amino-containing compounds in the agarose gel; the quantum dot solution is applied to the gel plate, power supply is provided, and a voltage is provided to the gel plate, so that chloroform is approached on the gel plate Electrophoresis occurs at one end of the positive pole of the power supply; at the end of the gel plate close to the negative pole of the power supply, purified quantum dots are separated and obtained. The invention disperses the amino group-containing compound in the agarose gel. The amino group has a positive charge and has an attractive effect on the chloroform, which can accelerate the moving speed of the chloroform, thereby realizing the separation of the chloroform. The method is easy to operate, simple and fast, and can remove chloroform impurities in the quantum dot solution.
