This paper reviews the developing progress on the synthesis of the silicon quantum dots (Si-QDs) via the different methods including electrochemical porous Si, Si ion implantation, and plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), and exploring their featured applications for light emitting diode (LED), color-converted phosphors, and waveguide switching devices. The characteristic parameters of Si-QD LED via different syntheses are summarized for discussion. At first, the photoluminescence spectra of Si-QD and accompanied defects are analyzed to distinguish from each other. Next, the synthesis of porous Si and the performances of porous Si LED reported from different previous works are compared in detail. Later on, the Si-QD implantation in silicide (SiX) dielectric films developed to solve the instability of porous Si and their electroluminescent performances are also summarized for realizing the effect of host matrix to increase the emission quantum efficiency. As the Si-ion implantation still generates numerous defects in host matrix owing to physical bombardment, the PECVD method has emerged as the main-stream methodology for synthesizing Si-QD in SiX semiconductor or dielectric layer. This method effectively suppresses the structural matrix imperfection so as to enhance the external quantum efficiency of the Si-QD LED. With mature synthesis technology, Si-QD has been comprehensively utilized not only for visible light emission but also for color conversion and optical switching applications in future academia and industry.

“…White emitting nanomaterials are of current interest for use in organic light emitting diodes, pollution monitoring, and detection of ions . Sensors based on white emitting particles are expected to be more sensitive to analytes because white light is composed of three color components in specific intensity ratios, and any change in one color intensity can produce detectable, off‐white emission.…”

Facile synthesis of white‐emitting, protein‐based, metal‐free, stable, nontoxic, and pH sensitive, advanced functional nanoparticles (GlowDots), as alternatives to quantum dots, is reported here. Controlled cross‐linking of bovine serum albumin resulted in facile formation of spherical nanoparticles of 35 nm in diameter with a sharp size distribution (±10 nm), which were then conjugated with specific dyes to produce white‐emitting particles with tunable excitation wavelengths. Chemical novelty is that the particle size, size distribution, stability, surface chemistry, and emission properties are under full chemical control where the size and absorption/emission properties are independently tuned. Up to 100 dye molecules were attached to each particle, on an average, and hence, particles acquired strong absorption cross‐sections as well as high brightness. White fluorescence of GlowDots is strongly sensitive to pH over a range of pH 2–11, and pH‐induced emission changes are fully reversible. The particles readily entered HeLa cells and emission color depended on particle location in the live cells, which is most likely due to the local environment surrounding the particles. These are the very first reports of white‐emitting advanced functional nanoparticles that are biodegradable, sensitive to pH, and amenable for live cell imaging to probe the subcellular compartments.
