In this review, we provide a broad overview of solution-phase synthesis of transition metal
oxide nanocrystals (NCs), including a substantial catalog of published methods, and a …

A simple and generic approach—alternating voltage induced electrochemical synthesis
(AVIES)—has been reported for synthesizing highly dispersed colloidal metal (Au, Pt, Sn …

Here, we report the size-and shape-controlled synthesis of metal oxide nanoparticles
through the introduction of rare-earth metals. The addition of gadolinium oleate in the …

The shape of a crystalline particle can be defined by a characteristic set and abundance of
surfaces corresponding to the lattice planes [hkl] of the crystal. The structure, the density, the …

The growth of colloidal metal nanocrystals typically involves an autocatalytic process, in
which the salt precursor adsorbs onto the surface of a growing nanocrystal, followed by …

Recent progress in facet‐controlled syntheses has started to produce nanocrystals with
great promise as the next‐generation catalysts for a variety of applications. To move from …

Advances in nanocrystal syntheses over the past decades now enable routine manipulation
of particle shape, size, and chemistry with unprecedented precision. Building on decades of …
