Despite great efforts in the development of diverse nanomaterials, a general route to synthesize metal-free chalcogen quantum dots (QDs) is still lacking. Moreover, the modification of chalcogen QDs is a bottleneck that severely hinders their applications. Herein, we develop a facile method to const...
