The field of colloidal synthesis of semiconductors emerged 40 years ago and has reached a
certain level of maturity thanks to the use of nanocrystals as phosphors in commercial …

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 …

Due to the complex core–shell structure and variety of surface functional groups, the
photoluminescence (PL) mechanism of carbon dots (CDs) remain unclear. o …

The easily tunable emission of halide perovskite nanocrystals throughout the visible
spectrum makes them an extremely promising material for light-emitting applications …

Current colloidal synthesis methods for CdSe nanoplatelets (NPLs) routinely yield samples
that emit, in discrete steps, from 460 to 550 nm. A significant challenge lies with obtaining …

Conspectus Semiconductors are at the basis of electronics. Up to now, most devices that
contain semiconductors use materials obtained from a top down approach with …

The last decade has witnessed extensive breakthroughs and significant progress in
atomically flat two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor nanoplatelets (NPLs) in terms of …

Free standing two-dimensional materials appear as a novel class of structures. Recently, the
first colloidal two-dimensional heterostructures have been synthesized. These core/shell …

Here, we systematically investigated the spontaneous and stimulated emission
performances of solution-processed atomically flat quasi-2D nanoplatelets (NPLs) as a …

Semi-conducting nanoplatelets are two-dimensional nanoparticles whose thickness is in the
nanometer range and controlled at the atomic level. They have come up as a new category …
