The Large-Scale Synthesis of Vinyl-Functionalized Silicon Quantum Dot and Its Application in Miniemulsion Polymerization

Stable luminescence, size-tunability, and biocompatibility encourage the deployment of Cd-free NPs into diverse biological applications. Here we report one-pot synthesis of blue-emitting and polymerizable silicon quantum dots (Si QDs) from which water-soluble Si QDs embedded polystyrene nanoparticle...
