Abstract
Herein, we report the dark-field microscopy studies on single silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs) fabricated using different deposition parameters in the electron beam evaporation technique. The morphology of the fabricated SiNPs is studied using theAtomic Force Microscope. Later, for the first time, the effect of thermal annealing and deposition parameters (i.e. beam current and deposition time) on the far-field scattering images and spectra of single SiNPs is studied using a transmission-mode dark-field optical microscope to estimate the wavelength locations and full-width at half maxima of the optical resonances of single SiNPs. Finally, the role of polarization of incident light on the optical resonances of single SiNPs is also studied by recording their scattering images and spectra.

[PMID: 37965814 PMCID: PMC10694808 DOI: 10.1021/acsami.3c13269] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2023] [Revised: 10/26/2023] [Accepted: 10/30/2023] [Indexed: 11/16/2023]
Abstract
The focus of this study was to demonstrate the vapor-phase halogenation of Si(100) and subsequently evaluate the inhibiting ability of the halogenated surfaces toward atomic layer deposition (ALD) of aluminum oxide (Al2O3). Hydrogen-terminated silicon ⟨100⟩ (H-Si(100)) was halogenated using N-chlorosuccinimide (NCS), N-bromosuccinimide (NBS), and N-iodosuccinimide (NIS) in a vacuum-based chemical process. The composition and physical properties of the prepared monolayers were analyzed by using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and contact angle (CA) goniometry. These measurements confirmed that all three reagents were more effective in halogenating H-Si(100) over OH-Si(100) in the vapor phase. The stability of the modified surfaces in air was also tested, with the chlorinated surface showing the greatest resistance to monolayer degradation and silicon oxide (SiO2) generation within the first 24 h of exposure to air. XPS and atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements showed that the succinimide-derived Hal-Si(100) surfaces exhibited blocking ability superior to that of H-Si(100), a commonly used ALD resist. This halogenation method provides a dry chemistry alternative for creating halogen-based ALD resists on Si(100) in near-ambient environments.

Abstract
This study explores the controlled laser ablation and corresponding properties of silicon nanoparticles (Si NP) with potential applications in ultraviolet (UV) light sensing. The size distribution of Si NPs was manipulated by adjusting the laser scanning speed during laser ablation of a silicon target in a styrene solution. Characterization techniques, including transmission electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and photoluminescence analysis, were employed to investigate the Si NP structural and photophysical properties. Si NP produced at a laser scanning speed of 3000 mm/s exhibited an average diameter of ~4 nm, polydispersity index of 0.811, and a hypsochromic shift in the Raman spectrum peak position. Under photoexcitation at 365 nm, these Si NPs emitted apparent white light, demonstrating their potential for optoelectronic applications. Photoluminescence analysis revealed biexponential decay behavior, suggesting multiple radiative recombination pathways within the nanoscale structure. Furthermore, a thin film containing Si NP was utilized as a passive filter for a 2nd generation CCD detector, expanding the functionality of the non-UV-sensitive detectors in optics, spectrometry, and sensor technologies.

Abstract
In the current scenario of global warming and climate change, plants face many biotic stresses, which restrain growth, development and productivity. Nanotechnology is gaining precedence over other means to deal with biotic and abiotic constraints for sustainable agriculture. One of nature's most beneficial metalloids, silicon (Si) shows ameliorative effect against environmental challenges. Silicon/Silica nanoparticles (Si/SiO2NPs) have gained special attention due to their significant chemical and optoelectronic capabilities. Its mesoporous nature, easy availability and least biological toxicity has made it very attractive to researchers. Si/SiO2NPs can be synthesised by chemical, physical and biological methods and supplied to plants by foliar, soil, or seed priming. Upon uptake and translocation, Si/SiO2NPs reach their destined cells and cause optimum growth, development and tolerance against environmental stresses as well as pest attack and pathogen infection. Using Si/SiO2NPs as a supplement can be an eco-friendly and cost-effective option for sustainable agriculture as they facilitate the delivery of nutrients, assist plants to mitigate biotic stress and enhances plant resistance. This review aims to present an overview of the methods of formulation of Si/SiO2NPs, their application, uptake, translocation and emphasize the role of Si/SiO2NPs in boosting growth and development of plants as well as their conventional advantage as fertilizers with special consideration on their mitigating effects towards biotic stress.

Abstract
Silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs) can be challenging to prepare with defined size, crystallinity, composition, and surface chemistry. As is the case for any nanomaterial, controlling these parameters is essential if SiNPs are to realize their full potential in areas such as alternative energy generation and storage, sensors, and medical imaging. Numerous teams have explored and established innovative synthesis methods, as well as surface functionalization protocols to control these factors. Furthermore, substantial effort has been expended to understand how the abovementioned parameters influence material properties. In the present review we provide a commentary highlighting the benefits and limitations of available methods for preparing silicon nanoparticles as well as demonstrations of tailoring optical and electronic properties through definition of structure (i.e., crystalline vs. amorphous), composition and surface chemistry. Finally, we highlight potential opportunities for future SiNP studies.

Abstract
The continuously decreasing size of device features in microelectronics draws growing attention to the structuring of silicon at the molecular level with powerful tools provided by synthetic chemistry. Silicon clusters are of particular importance in this regard not only as potential precursors for silicon deposition but also as well-defined model systems for bulk and surfaces of silicon at the nanoscale as well as possible starting points for future construction of molecularly precise device structures. This review aims to give a comprehensive overview about the state of the art in the synthesis of molecular silicon clusters, which are grouped into (1) electron-precise saturated clusters, (2) soluble polyhedral Zintl anions, and (3) unsaturated silicon clusters, the so-called siliconoids. Particular attention is paid to functionalization as it is generally considered a necessary prerequisite for the design and construction of more extended systems. The interrelations between the three different classes of molecular silicon clusters, e.g., arising from the introduction of negatively charged functional groups, are highlighted on grounds of NMR properties and computed electronic structures.

Abstract
In order to understand related pathogenesis of some diseases and design new intracellular drug delivery systems, investigation of pH change in living cells in real time is important. In this paper, a new style of fluorescent silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs) as a pH-sensitive probe and for the visualization of the pH changes in cells was designed and prepared using 4-aminophenol as a reducing agent and N-aminoethyl-γ-aminopropyltrimethyl as a silicon source by a one-pot hydrothermal method. It was particularly noteworthy that the fluorescence intensity emitted from the SiNPs positively correlated with the pH value of solutions, making the SiNPs a viable probe used for sensitive sensing of pH. At the same time, a response of the probe to the pH was found in 5.0-10.0, and the SiNPs have an excellent biocompatibility (e.g., ∼74% of cell viability was remained after treatment for 24 h at 500 μg/mL of the SiNPs). The proposed method that could display the change in pH of live cells provided an effective means for visually diagnosing diseases related to intracellular pH.

Abstract
This article describes the synthesis procedure of colloidal silicon quantum dot (Si QDs) from rice husk ash. The silicon quantum dots were capped with 1-octadecene by thermal hydrosilylation under argon gas to obtain octadecyl-Si QDs (ODE-Si QDs). The size separation of ODE-Si QDs was examined by the column chromatography method, which used silica gel (40–63 μm) as the stationary phase. Finally, we obtained two fractions of silicon quantum dot, exhibiting blue emission (B-Si QDs) with an average size of 2.5 ± 0.73 nm and red emission (R-Si QDs) with an average size of 5.1 ± 0.68 nm under a UV lamp (365 nm). The PL spectra of B-Si QDs and R-Si QDs samples show maximum peak energy at 410 nm (3.02 eV) and 700 nm (1.77 eV), respectively, while the quantum yield of Si QDs decreases from 5.8 to 34.6% when the average size decreases from 2.5 nm to 5.1 nm. The above results of PL emission spectroscopy and UV-vis absorption show quantum confined effect in Si QDs.

Abstract
2D Si nanomaterials draw great interest owing to their fascinating properties and potential applications in electronic devices, catalysts, and energy storage and conversion devices. However, high-quality and large-scale synthesis of Si nanosheets remains a big challenge, despite the limited reports on their preparations via chemical exfoliation of layered Zintl silicide, magnesiothermic reduction of layered silicon oxide, and chemical vapor deposition. In this work, a facile, solution method to produce free-standing Si nanosheets in high yields and low cost, based on the reaction of commercial magnesium powder with trichlorosilane and tripropylamine in dichloromethane under mild conditions, is reported. The prepared Si nanosheets have an average thickness of ≈2 nm and show photoluminescence. Experiments demonstrate that the key to the formation of Si nanosheets is the use of dichloromethane as a solvent. This method can be used to prepare Si nanosheets in large scale for various potential applications and possibly Si crystals with specific crystal morphology.

Abstract
Molecular communication (MoCo) is a new paradigm of bio-inspired communication in which the transport of information occurs through information particles instead of electromagnetic waves. Herein, the enormous potential of nanoparticles in this field is highlighted. The MoCo concept has been extensively modelled both theoretically and computationally within the scientific community, mainly in the field of engineering. We collected the most relevant findings about the implementation of prototypal MoCo platforms by exploiting nanoparticles as informative nanomessengers and herein the theoretical and computational modelling used to design MoCo systems is presented.

Abstract
A facile procedure for the synthesis of ultra-fine silicon nanoparticles without the need for a Schlenk vacuum line is presented. The process consists of the production of a (HSiO1.5) n sol-gel precursor based on the polycondensation of low-cost trichlorosilane (HSiCl3), followed by its annealing and etching. The obtained materials were thoroughly characterized after each preparation step by electron microscopy, Fourier transform and Raman spectroscopy, X-ray dispersion spectroscopy, diffraction methods and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The data confirm the formation of ultra-fine silicon nanoparticles with controllable average diameters between 1 and 5 nm depending on the etching time.

Abstract
Over the years, scientists have identified various synthetic "handles" while developing wet chemical protocols for achieving a high level of shape and compositional complexity in colloidal nanomaterials. Halide ions have emerged as one such handle which serve as important surface active species that regulate nanocrystal (NC) growth and concomitant physicochemical properties. Halide ions affect the NC growth kinetics through several means, including selective binding on crystal facets, complexation with the precursors, and oxidative etching. On the other hand, their presence on the surfaces of semiconducting NCs stimulates interesting changes in the intrinsic electronic structure and interparticle communication in the NC solids eventually assembled from them. Then again, halide ions also induce optoelectronic tunability in NCs where they form part of the core, through sheer composition variation. In this review, we describe these roles of halide ions in the growth of nanostructures and the physical changes introduced by them and thereafter demonstrate the commonality of these effects across different classes of nanomaterials.

Abstract
Silicon Quantum Dots (SQDs) have recently attracted great interest due to their excellent optical properties, low cytotoxicity, and ease of surface modification. The size of SQDs and type of ligand on their surface has a great influence on their optical properties which is still poorly understood. Here we report the synthesis and spectroscopic studies of three families of unreported SQDs functionalized by covalently linking to the aromatic fluorophores, 9-vinylphenanthrene, 1-vinylpyrene, and 3-vinylperylene. The results showed that the prepared functionalized SQDs had a highly-controlled diameter by HR-TEM, ranging from 1.7–2.1 nm. The photophysical measurements of the assemblies provided clear evidence for efficient energy transfer from the fluorophore to the SQD core. Fӧrster energy transfer is the likely mechanism in these assemblies. As a result of the photogenerated energy transfer process, the emission color of the SQD core could be efficiently tuned and its emission quantum efficiency enhanced. To demonstrate the potential application of the synthesized SQDs for bioimaging of cancer cells, the water-soluble perylene- and pyrene-capped SQDs were examined for fluorescent imaging of HeLa cells. The SQDs were shown to be of low cytotoxicity

Abstract
Gadolinium (Gd0) and uranium (U0) nanoparticles are prepared via lithium naphthalenide ([LiNaph])-driven reduction in tetrahydrofuran (THF) using GdCl3 and UCl4, respectively, as low-cost starting materials. The as-prepared Gd0 and U0 suspensions are colloidally stable and contain metal nanoparticles with diameters of 2.5 ± 0.7 nm (Gd0) and 2.0 ± 0.5 nm (U0). Whereas THF suspensions are chemically stable under inert conditions (Ar and vacuum), nanoparticulate powder samples show high reactivity in contact with, for example, oxygen, moisture, alcohols, or halogens. Such small and highly reactive Gd0 and U0 nanoparticles are first prepared via a dependable liquid-phase synthesis and stand as representatives for further nanosized lanthanides and actinides.

Abstract
Silicon nanoparticles (Si-NPs) are increasing in relevance in diverse fields of scientific and nanotechnological inquiry, where currently some of the most important areas of research involve energy storage and biomedical applications. The present article is concerned with a curious and scalable method for the preparation of discrete, unoxidized, hydrogenated, and amorphous Si-NPs of tunable size in the range of 1.5-50nm. Using ultrasound generated with a conventional ultrasonic horn, the "fusion" of Si-NPs is demonstrated at ambient temperature and pressure by sonicating solutions containing readily available, semiconductor-grade purity trisilane (Si3H8). The only requirement for the synthesis is that it be carried out in an inert atmosphere such as that of a N2-filled glove box. Various spectroscopic techniques and electron microscopy images are used to show that the size of the Si-NPs can be controlled by varying the amplitude of the ultrasonic waves or the concentration of trisilane in the solution. Moreover, sustained ultrasonic irradiation is found to yield highly porous Si-NP agglomerates that may find use in applications requiring non-crystalline nanoscopic high specific surface area morphologies.

Abstract
Nanostructured silicon (Si) is useful in many applications and has typically been synthesized by bottom-up colloid-based solution processes or top-down gas phase reactions at high temperatures. These methods, however, suffer from toxic precursors, low yields, and impractical processing conditions (i.e., high pressure). The magnesiothermic reduction of silicon oxide (SiO2) has also been introduced as an alternative method. Here, we demonstrate the reduction of SiO2 by a simple milling process using a lab-scale planetary-ball mill and industry-scale attrition-mill. Moreover, an ignition point where the reduction begins was consistently observed for the milling processes, which could be used to accurately monitor and control the reaction. The complete conversion of rice husk SiO2 to high purity Si was demonstrated, taking advantage of the rice husk's uniform nanoporosity and global availability, using a 5L-scale attrition-mill. The resulting porous Si showed excellent performance as a Li-ion battery anode, retaining 82.8% of the initial capacity of 1466 mAh g-1 after 200 cycles.

Abstract
Ultrasmall nanoparticulate materials with core sizes in the 1-3nm range bridge the gap between single molecules and classical, larger-sized nanomaterials, not only in terms of spatial dimension, but also as regards physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties. Due to these unique properties, ultrasmall nanoparticles appear to be promising materials for nanomedicinal applications. This review overviews the different synthetic methods of inorganic ultrasmall nanoparticles as well as their properties, characterization, surface modification and toxicity. We moreover summarize the current state of knowledge regarding pharmacokinetics, biodistribution and targeting of nanoscale materials. Aside from addressing the issue of biomolecular corona formation and elaborating on the interactions of ultrasmall nanoparticles with individual cells, we discuss the potential diagnostic, therapeutic and theranostic applications of ultrasmall nanoparticles in the emerging field of nanomedicine in the final part of this review.

Abstract
Semiconductor nanocrystals, or quantum dots (QDs), are candidates for biological sensing, photovoltaics, and catalysis due to their unique photophysical properties. The most studied QDs are composed of heavy metals like cadmium and lead. However, this engenders concerns over heavy metal toxicity. To address this issue, numerous studies have explored the development of nontoxic (or more accurately less toxic) quantum dots. In this Review, we select three major classes of nontoxic quantum dots composed of carbon, silicon and Group I-III-VI elements and discuss the myriad of synthetic strategies and surface modification methods to synthesize quantum dots composed of these material systems.

Abstract
Mo(0), W(0), Fe(0), Ru(0), Re(0), and Zn(0) nanoparticles—essentially base metals—are prepared as a general strategy by a sodium naphthalenide ([NaNaph])-driven reduction of simple metal chlorides in ethers (1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME), tetrahydrofuran (THF)). All the nanoparticles have diameters ≤10 nm, and they can be obtained either as powder samples or long-term stable suspensions. Direct follow-up reactions (e.g., Mo(0)+S8, FeCl3+AsCl3, ReCl5+MoCl5), moreover, allow the preparation of MoS2, FeAs2, or Re4Mo nanoparticles of similar size as the pristine metals (≤10 nm).

Abstract
We herein introduce a facile, low-cost photochemical method capable of rapid (<40 min) and large-quantity (∼10 g) production of highly fluorescent (quantum yield: 25%) silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs) of tunable optical properties (peak emission wavelength in the range of 470-560 nm) under ambient air conditions, by introducing 1,8-naphthalimide as a reducing agent and surface ligands. The as-prepared SiNPs feature robust storage stability and photostability preserving strong and stable fluorescent during long-term (>3 h) high-power UV irradiation, in contrast to the rapid fluorescence quenching within 2 h of conventional organic dyes and II-VI quantum dots under the same conditions. The as-prepared SiNPs serving as photostable nanoprobes are workable for cellular imaging in long-term manners. Our findings provide a powerful method for mild-condition and low-cost, large-quantity production of highly fluorescent and photostable SiNPs for various promising applications.

Abstract
We present a new efficient two-step method to covalently functionalize hydride terminated silicon nanocrystals with nucleophiles. First a reactive chlorosilane layer was formed via diazonium salt initiated hydrosilylation of chlorodimethyl(vinyl)silane which was then reacted with alcohols, silanols and organolithium reagents. With organolithium compounds a side reaction is observed in which a direct functionalization of the silicon surface takes place.
