All nanomaterials share a common feature of large surface-to-volume ratio, making their
surfaces the dominant player in many physical and chemical processes. Surface ligands …

Nanodimensional metal sulfides are a developing class of low-cost materials with potential
applications in areas as wide-ranging as energy storage, electrocatalysis, and imaging. An …

This review summarizes traditional and recent nonconventional, bioinspired, methods for the
aqueous synthesis of colloidal semiconductor quantum dots (QDs). The basic chemistry …

Conspectus Properties of colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals with a single-crystalline
structure are largely dominated by their surface structure at an atomic-molecular level, which …

The subject of this review is the colloidal quantum dot (QD) and specifically the interaction of
the QD with proximate molecules. It covers various functions of these molecules, including (i) …

Band edge positions of semiconductors determine their functionality in many optoelectronic
applications such as photovoltaics, photoelectrochemical cells and light emitting diodes …

Photocatalytic fuel production has gathered increasing attention due to its potential for large-
scale deployment, but the quantum yield of existing photocatalysts remains limited mainly by …

Colloidal heteronanocrystals (HNCs) can be regarded as solution-grown inorganic–organic
hybrid nanomaterials, since they consist of inorganic nanoparticles that are coated with a …

Conspectus Since the initial discovery of colloidal lead halide perovskite nanocrystals, there
has been significant interest placed on these semiconductors because of their remarkable …

This paper reviews the recent advances in experiment and theory of the induction of
chiroptical effects, primarily circular dichroism (CD), at the plasmonic and excitonic …
