Enhancing Singlet Oxygen Generation in Conjugates of Silicon Nanocrystals and Organic Photosensitizers

Silicon nanocrystals (SiNCs) are regarded as a green and environmentally friendly material when compared with other semiconductor nanocrystals. Ultra-small SiNCs (with the size 4.6–5.2 nm) demonstrate strong UV absorption and photoluminescence in the near infrared (NIR) range with the high photolumi...
