Abstract
Recently, there has been a lot of interest in silicon quantum dots (Sil-QDts) because of their special opto-electronic properties. These qualities include broad absorption spectra, strong photo-bleaching stability, and size-tunable photoluminescence, which can range from visible to near-infrared depending on its size. Because of their high biocompatibility, low cytotoxicity, and vast surface modification capacity, these nanoparticles have the potential to be used in a wide range of biological and biomedical applications, including sensing, bio-imaging, and photodynamic therapy. This paper presents a thorough analysis of current developments using Sil-QDts in sensor technology. Various types of sensors that use Sil-QDts are examined in detail, such as metal ion sensors, biosensors, food quality sensors, and pesticide and pollution detectors. This paper also addresses prospective applications and future possibilities of Sil-QDt-based sensors.
期刊介绍:
The journal Silicon is intended to serve all those involved in studying the role of silicon as an enabling element in materials science. There are no restrictions on disciplinary boundaries provided the focus is on silicon-based materials or adds significantly to the understanding of such materials. Accordingly, such contributions are welcome in the areas of inorganic and organic chemistry, physics, biology, engineering, nanoscience, environmental science, electronics and optoelectronics, and modeling and theory. Relevant silicon-based materials include, but are not limited to, semiconductors, polymers, composites, ceramics, glasses, coatings, resins, composites, small molecules, and thin films.
