Surface modified ZnO quantum dots (QDs) with ultrastable, strong and tunable luminescence have been successfully prepared viasilanization during the growth process by (3-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)propyl)trimethoxysilane. The as-prepared QDs are demonstrated to be promising for anti-counterfeit applications in expensive high-end liquors, etc.
