Highly Luminescent Alkyl- and Alkoxy-Terminated Silicon Quantum Dots via Aging Following Single-Step Plasma Synthesis and Functionalization

Nonthermal plasma synthesis enables the continuous production and immediate surface functionalization of silicon quantum dots (Si QDs) in a single, flow-through reactor. While this process occurs on a millisecond time scale, the resulting nanocrystals are often limited by low photoluminescence quant
