The design of nanoparticles is critical for their efficient use in many applications ranging from
biomedicine to sensing and energy. While shape and size are responsible for the properties …

Chemical methods developed over the past two decades enable preparation of colloidal
nanocrystals with uniform size and shape. These Brownian objects readily order into …

Self-assembly of colloidal nanoparticles (NPs) into superstructures offers a flexible and
promising pathway to manipulate the nanometer-sized particles and thus make full use of …

In this paper, we review recent progress on colloidal growth of 2D nanocrystals. We identify
the four main sources of anisotropy which lead to the formation of plate-and sheet-like …

Nanoparticle (NP) high pressure behavior has been extensively studied over the years. In
this review, we summarize recent progress on the studies of pressure induced NP phase …

Crystal phase, an intrinsic characteristic of crystalline materials, is one of the key parameters
to determine their physicochemical properties. Recently, great progress has been made in …

Colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals have attracted continuous worldwide interest over the
last three decades owing to their remarkable and unique size-and shape-, dependent …

This work analyzes the role of hydrocarbon ligands in the self-assembly of nanocrystal (NC)
superlattices. Typical NCs, composed of an inorganic core of radius R and a layer of …

The origin of green emission in the zero-dimensional (0D) perovskite Cs4PbBr6
nanocrystals (NCs) remains a considerable debate. Herein, an approach involving a …

Studies on the self‐assembly of nanoparticles have been a hot topic in nanotechnology for
decades and still remain relevant for the present and future due to their tunable collective …
