Abstract

Dot product: A facile method was used to prepare highly stable and water-dispersible silicon quantum dots (Si QDs) through organic peroxide-induced hydrosilylation. This method provides a new way to modify Si QDs with different hydrophilic or hydrophobic groups for cellular imaging applications, as demonstrated in the figure.
