Hydrophilic silicon nanoparticles as a turn-off and colorimetric fluorescent probe for curcuminoids detection in food samples and cell imaging

Green and facile synthesis of silicon-doped carbon dots and their use in detection of Hg2+ and visualization of latent fingerprints

“…The quantum yield of the Si-CDs was calculated to be 23.3% with reference to quinine sulphate. 54 The 3D fluorescence diagram of the Si-CDs is displayed in Fig. 1(i) and indicated the excitation-independent property of the Si-CDs, 55 which can be attributed to the uniformity of the size and surface modification of the Si-CDs.…”
