Silicon quantum dots (Si-QDs) have received substantial over the last two decades owing to their , biocompatibility, and optical properties. Similar their group II−VI and III−V quantum dot counterparts, -terminated Si-QDs with diameters smaller than 5 nm exhibit size-dependent photoluminescence (PL) in the spectral region. However, the hydride surface is susceptible to oxidation and requires further modification passivate it and render the QDs soluble in common .
