Over the years, scientists have identified various synthetic “handles” while develo** wet
chemical protocols for achieving a high level of shape and compositional complexity in …

In this review, we briefly introduce recent progresses related to material construction with
coordination as a structure-directing driving force based on two concepts …

Contrary to the prevailing notion that shell structures arise from the intricate chemistry and
surface defects of InP quantum dots (QDs), an innovative strategy that remarkably enhances …

Colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals hold great promise in display technologies, as the
tunable energy levels and narrow emission bandwidth allow for wide gamut in color space …

We examine the effects of chlorine-passivation of Cd surface atoms on photocatalytic H2O
reduction by CdSe NCs. Transient absorption spectroscopy reveals that Cl passivation …

Lead halide perovskites (LHPs) have attracted a tremendous amount of attention because of
their applications in solar cells, lighting, and optoelectronics. However, the atomistic …

Electronic devices comprised of nanocrystal (NC) thin film are projected to demonstrate
enhanced figure of merit if NC building blocks self-assemble into highly uniform, 2 …

Chiral organizations ubiquitously exist in biomaterials via hierarchical assembly of chiral
molecules, but assembly of chiral inorganic nanocrystals (NCs) has been lacking. Recent …

To capitalize on shape-and structure-dependent properties of semiconductor nanorods
(NRs), high-precision control and exquisite design of their growth are desired. Cadmium …

We report synthesis of PbSe nanorods (NRs) and PbSe/CdSe axial heterojunction NRs via
direct Cd-to-Pb cation exchange in CdSe NRs. Use of suited ligand–cation combinations …
