Abstract
In the present paper we report a novel synthesis method of silicon quantum dots (SiQDs) using 3-Aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) as silicon precursor and low molecular weight chitosan (CS) as reducing agent. The obtained SiQDs have a hydrodynamic diameter of 2.3 nm, water dispersible, presents blue emission band at 434.5 nm (2.85 eV) with a Commission Internationale de l’Eclairage 1931 (CIE1931) chromaticity coordinates (x = 0.1665, y = 0.1222), the experimental absorbance of the SiQDS was measured and the band gap (Eg) was estimated through PerkinElmer’s method, the obtained value was 3.1 eV and a positive ζ-potential of + 35 mV, resulting in photonics, microelectronics, and biotechnological potential applications.
