Journal ArticleDOI

Chemical insight into the origin of red and blue photoluminescence arising from freestanding silicon nanocrystals.

TL;DR: Analysis of the evidence is consistent with the hypothesis that the presence of trace nitrogen and oxygen even at the parts per million level in Si NCs gives rise to the blue emission.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sized controlled synthesis, purification, and cell studies with silicon quantum dots

TL;DR: The size control synthesis of silicon quantum dots with simple microemulsion techniques showed that the amine terminated silicon nanocrystals accumulated in lysosome but not in nuclei and could be used as bio-markers to monitor cancer cells over long timescales.
Journal ArticleDOI

Performance enhancement in silicon solar cell by inverted nanopyramid texturing and silicon quantum dots coating

TL;DR: In this article, the performance enhancement in silicon solar cell by inverted nanopyramid texturing and silicon quantum dot coating has been investigated, and the overall efficiency of solar cell increased by 47% by inverted nano-plastic texturing combined with silicon quantum dots coating.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional Bioinorganic Hybrids from Enzymes and Luminescent Silicon-Based Nanoparticles.

TL;DR: This study reports the preparation of functional bioinorganic hybrid materials exhibiting catalytic activity and photoluminescent properties arising from the combination of enzymes and freestanding silicon-based nanoparticles that have potential applications in biological sensing/imaging and theranostics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interfacing enzymes with silicon nanocrystals through the thiol-ene reaction.

TL;DR: The bioinorganic hybrids presented herein have potential applications in the chemical detection of nitrophenyl esters and urea as they combine long-lived silicon nanocrystal photoluminescence with substrate-specific enzymatic activity.
