Versatile "click chemistry" Approach to functionalizing silicon quantum dots: Applications toward fluorescent cellular imaging

In this study, we describe a solution procedure for the preparation and surface modification of photostable colloidal silicon quantum dots (SiQDs) for imaging of cancer cells. Photoluminescent SiQDs were synthesized by reduction of halogenated silane precursors using a microemulsion process. It was...
