Plasma-Assisted and Green Routes to Silicon and Carbon Quantum Dots: A Critical Comparison of Synthesis–Structure–Property Relationships

Silicon quantum dots (SiQDs) and carbon quantum dots (CQDs) are often discussed as related heavy-metal-free luminescent nanomaterials, although the mechanisms governing their formation and emission differ fundamentally. Rather than combining two parallel bodies of literature, thi...
