A commercially available amine‐containing silane molecule, N‐[3‐(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]ethylenediamine (DAMO) is introduced in article 1500360 by F. G. Wu, Z. Chen, and co‐workers. Superbright water‐soluble silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs) are prepared with a photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 82.4% via a one‐pot microwave‐assisted method. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the highest PLQY value ever reported for water‐soluble fluorescent SiNPs.
