Nanoparticle research has received considerable attention due to many potential innovative
applications such as biomedicine, 1, 2 catalysis, 3, 4 fuel cell, 5 magnetic data storage, 6 …

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 …

Colloidal quantum dots (CQDs), nanometer-scale semiconductor crystals capped with
surfactant molecules and dispersed in solution, have provided a powerful platform for the …

The regulation of engineered nanoparticles requires a widely agreed definition of such
particles. Nanoparticles are routinely defined as particles with sizes between about 1 and …

Zinc oxide is an extensively studied semiconductor with a wide band gap in the near-UV. Its
many interesting properties have found use in optics, electronics, catalysis, sensing, as well …

Here we report a precise control of isolated single ruthenium site supported on nitrogen-
doped porous carbon (Ru SAs/N–C) through a coordination-assisted strategy. This …

Much progress has been made over the past ten years on the synthesis of monodisperse
spherical nanocrystals. Mechanistic studies have shown that monodisperse nanocrystals …

We report on the synthesis of phase-pure TiO 2 nanoparticles in anatase, rutile and brookite
structures, using amorphous titania as a common starting material. Phase formation was …

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

Synthesis of uniform nanocrystals is very important because the size uniformity of an
ensemble of nanocrystals is directly related to the homogeneity of their chemical and …
