We take here the perspective of a nanochemist on the field of colloidal nanocrystals,
focusing specifically on nanocrystal synthesis. Considering the three components of a …

We report the formation of an intermediate lamellar Cu–thiolate complex, and tuning its
relative stability using alkylphosphonic acids are crucial to enabling controlled …

A facile and signal-on photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensing strategy was designed based
on hypotoxic Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 NPs nanoparticles (NPs) and biofunctionalized Fe 3 O 4 NPs …

The precursor conversion chemistry and surface chemistry of Cu3N and Cu3PdN
nanocrystals are unknown or contested. Here, we first obtain phase‐pure, colloidally stable …

Visible-driven photocatalytic hydrogen production using narrow-bandgap semiconductors
has great potential for clean energy development. However, the widespread use of these …

Two-dimensional-shaped CsPbBr3 platelet nanocrystals are widely studied for their bright
high energy emission and self-assembly. These nanostructures are in orthorhombic phase …

Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) is regarded as one of the emerging materials for next-generation thin
film solar cells. However, its synthesis is complex, and obtaining a single-phase CZTS thin …

Hybrid nanoparticles show considerable promise with potential applications ranging across
catalysis (including photocatalysis), energy conversion, and storage. A generalized synthetic …

The growth mechanism and synthetic controls for colloidal multinary metal chalcogenide
nanocrystals (NCs) involving alkali metals and the pnictogen metals Sb and Bi are unknown …

The renewable energy of hydrogen arouses efficient high-current-density electrocatalysts for
