Abstract
Water-soluble silicon nanocrystals with oxide surface passivation are synthesized via a facile solution route. The nanocrystal (see image) exhibit strong and stable blue photoluminescence in water with a high quantum yield, of about 12% over 6 months, due to the recombination of electron–hole pairs across the Γ–Γ direct band gap and via the surface oxide-related radiative centers.
