Ag@SiO2 core-shell nanoparticles have emerged as efficient materials for a wide range of applications. These nanoparticles consist of a metallic silver core enveloped by a silica shell, offering unique properties that stem from the synergistic interaction between these two components. The synthesis of Ag@SiO2 nanoparticles typically involves a mul

Quantum dots (QDs) are semiconducting nanocrystals with unique optical and electronic properties that make them highly desirable for a variety of applications. However, their full potential can be further maximized by modifying their surfaces to achieve specific functionalities. Surface modification allows for the attachment of functional groups or
