title: One-pot synthesis of colloidal silicon quantum dots and surface functionalization via thiol-ene click chemistry.
abstract: A solution method for preparing surface functionalized colloidal silicon quantum dots (SiQDs) is presented. SiQDs prepared by this method are reasonably monodispersed and can be further functionalized via thiol-ene click reactions to introduce specific functionalities (i.e. -NH(2), -COOH, -SO(3)(-), alkane, alkene).
