The exploration of efficient electrocatalysts for energy conversion is important for green
energy development. Owing to their high surface areas and unusual electronic structure, 2D …

Nanoparticle assembly and attachment are common pathways of crystal growth by which
particles organize into larger scale materials with hierarchical structure and long-range …

Since the discovery of mechanically exfoliated graphene in 2004, research on ultrathin two-
dimensional (2D) nanomaterials has grown exponentially in the fields of condensed matter …

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

Ammonia (NH3) is essential to serve as the biological building blocks for maintaining
organism function, and as the indispensable nitrogenous fertilizers for increasing the yield of …

Nanocrystals (NCs) are one of the few nanotechnologies to have attained mass market
applications with their use as light sources for displays. This success relies on Cd-and In …

Nanoparticles exist far from the equilibrium state due to their high surface energy.
Nanoparticles are therefore extremely unstable and easily change themselves or react with …

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 …

The emergence of high-mobility, colloidal semiconductor quantum dot (QD) solids has
triggered fundamental studies that map the evolution from carrier hop** through localized …

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 …
