Porous silicon (pSi) has a number of unique properties that appoint it as a potential drug
delivery vehicle; high loading capacity, controllable surface chemistry and structure, and …

Recent progress in research on thermally carbonized porous silicon (TCPSi) and its
applications is reported. Despite a slow start, thermal carbonization has now started to gain …

Nanomaterial toxicity and environmental concerns inspired us to develop a scalable method
for fabricating quantum dots with a positive environmental impact. Milling rice creates …

A rapid and low cost photoluminescence (PL) immunosensor for the determination of low
concentrations of Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) has been developed. This immunosensor was based …

Si quantum dots (QDs) as small as∼ 2 nm in diameter have been synthesized by a variety of
techniques. Because of quantum confinement and the elimination of bulk or surface defects …

The effects of a treatment based on high-pressure water vapor annealing (HWA) on
nanocrystalline porous silicon have been investigated in terms of the photoluminescence …

This review is devoted to summarising the hydrogen-assisted properties and applications of
porous silicon (PS). The role of hydrogen as an intermediate product in silicon porosification …

An electroluminescent (EL) material is one that emits electromagnetic (EM) radiation in the
visible or near visible range when an electric field is applied to it. EL materials have a vast …

Porous silicon nanoparticles have been established as excellent candidates for medical
applications as drug delivery devices, due to their excellent biocompatibility …

This paper describes the chemical functionalization of hydrogen-terminated porous silicon
surfaces with simple and functional 1-alkenes under microwave irradiation to give organic …
