  • Surface functionalization of carbon dots (CDs) can impart novel properties for specific applications in many fields. Here, CDs are functionalized with polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) to enhance the photoluminescence and thermalstability. The use of CDs@POSS as a composite filler, fluorescent liquid marble, and solid-state fluorescent sensor is demonstrated.

    • Secondly, the blue emission displays excitation-independent behavior, whereas the green luminescence is excitation-dependent. This suggests significant differences in the emission states and energy distributions within the bandgap of the carbon dots (CDs), induced by their respective oxygen-containing groups. Sun’s group also observed similar phenomena and noted that CDs with different oxygen contents exhibit distinct excitation-dependent behaviors [ 56 ]. These observations were attributed to the competition between various transition processes arising from various oxygenous groups. It is speculated that the carboxyl as well as carbonyl functional groups are related to the green waveband, while the blue emission is possibly associated with the surface functional groups in the planes or at the edges of the CDs, such as the hydroxyl groups. In our case, the blue emission dominates the fluorescence when the carbonaceous materials have a smaller particle size or a higher oxidation degree, indicating that the small carbonaceous materials are more prone to oxidation due to their larger surface-to-volume ratio during the natural oxidation process. A substantial portion of carbon is transformed into the C–O and C=O groups, increasing the density of relevant emission states and significantly enhancing the blue emission intensity. The increase in the proportion of oxygen-related states at high energy levels may cause the blue shift in the optimal excitation wavelengths. Furthermore, the relatively uniform distribution of the C–O and C=O groups on the surface of small carbonaceous materials may contribute to the excitation-independent characteristics of the blue emission. Conversely, the intensity of the green emission is generally stronger in CDs with larger particle sizes or lower oxidation degrees. The non-uniform coverage of O–C=O groups might result in a wide distribution of the related energy levels, leading to excitation-dependent behavior.

    • Abstract Silicon nanocrystals (Si-NCs) are emerging as an attractive class of quantum dots owing to the natural abundance of silicon in the Earth's crust, their low toxicity compared to many Group?II–VI and III–V based quantum dots, compatibility with the existing semiconductor industry infrastructure, and their unique optoelectronic properties. Despite these favorable qualities, Si-NCs have not received the same attention as Group?II–VI and III–V quantum dots, because of their lower emission quantum yields, difficulties associated with synthesizing monodisperse particles, and oxidative instability. Recent advancements indicate the surface chemistry of Si-NCs plays a key role in determining many of their properties. This Review summarizes new reports related to engineering Si-NC surfaces, synthesis of Si-NC/polymer hybrids, and their applications in sensing, diodes, catalysis, and batteries.
