Sustainable development of hydrogen energy is a prime concern to address the rising
energy demand and the global energy problem since the hydrogen economy is reliable for …

Concerns over possible toxicities of conventional metal-containing quantum dots have
inspired growing research interests in colloidal silicon nanocrystals (SiNCs), or silicon …

Freestanding single‐crystalline nanomembranes and their assembly have broad application
potential in photodetectors for integrated chips. However, the release and self‐assembly …

Fluorescence bioimaging is a powerful, versatile, method for investigating, both in vivo and
in vitro, the complex structures and functions of living organisms in real time and space, also …

Silicon quantum dots (SiQDs) hold great promise for many future technologies. Silicon is
already at the core of photovoltaics and microelectronics, and SiQDs are capable of efficient …

Abstract In the United States, the oil industry produces over 15 billion barrels of wastewater
contaminated with crude oil microdroplets annually. Current methods are ineffective for the …

The increasing energy demand and the worldwide energy crisis must be met in large part
via the sustainable growth of hydrogen energy, since this economy is relied upon to provide …

As the most fundamental material for microelectronics, silicon (Si) has bourgeoned in the
past more than half a century. However, given the indirect bandgap of Si, the use of Si in …

Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of doped Si nanocrystals (NCs) is critical to
the development of Si-based plasmonics. We now experimentally show that LSPR can be …

Gas-phase plasma-synthesized silicon nanocrystals (Si-NCs) are doped with boron (B) or
phosphorous (P) during synthesis. The doping efficiency of B is smaller than that of P …
