Colloidal silicon quantum dots: synthesis and luminescence tuning from the near-UV to the near-IR range

This review describes a series of representative synthesis processes, which have been developed in the last two decades to prepare silicon quantum dots (QDs). The methods include both top-down and bottom-up approaches, and their methodological advantages and disadvantages are presented. Considerable...
