Among the various postsynthesis treatments of colloidal nanocrystals that have been
developed to date, transformations by cation exchange have recently emerged as an …

Nanocrystals (NCs) discussed in this Review are tiny crystals of metals, semiconductors,
and magnetic material consisting of hundreds to a few thousand atoms each. Their size …

Anisotropic heterostructures of colloidal nanocrystals embed size-, shape-, and composition-
dependent electronic structure within variable three-dimensional morphology, enabling …

Colloidal nanocrystals are solution-grown, nanometre-sized, inorganic particles that are
stabilized by a layer of surfactants attached to their surface. The inorganic cores possess …

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

Colloidal particles may be considered as building blocks for materials, just like atoms are the
bricks of molecules, macromolecules, and crystals. Periodic arrays of colloids (colloidal …

One frontier approach of colloidal chemistry to nanoscale entities capable to exhibit
enhanced or even unconventional physical–chemical properties as well as diversified …

Morphological control of nanocrystals has become increasingly important, as many of their
physical and chemical properties are highly shape dependent. Nanocrystal shape control for …

Inorganic nanocrystals with tailored geometries exhibit unique shape‐dependent
phenomena and subsequent utilization of them as building blocks for the fabrication of …

Current efforts and success of nanoscale science and technology are related to the
fabrication of functional materials and devices in which the individual units and their spatial …
