摘要
We report a novel method to prepare silicon quantum dots (Si-QDs) having excellent stability in water without organic-ligands by simultaneously doping phosphorus and boron. The codoped Si-QDs in water exhibit bright size-tunable luminescence in a biological window. The luminescence of codoped Si-QDs is very stable under continuous photoexcitation in water.
