1. A method for producing Group IV semiconductor nanoparticles, the method comprising:

  • (a) producing semiconductor nanoparticles in an inert environment;

    wherein the semiconductor nanoparticles are formed from at least one Group IV semiconductor element;

    (b) transferring the semiconductor nanoparticles to an inert reaction solution in an inert environment; and

    (c) reacting the surfaces of the semiconductor nanoparticles in the inert reaction solution to form an organic passivation layer covalently bonded to the semiconductor nanoparticles.
