In this Review, we aim to provide an updated summary of the research related to hollow
micro-and nanostructures, covering both their synthesis and their applications. After a brief …

Templating is one of the most important techniques for the controlled synthesis of
nanostructured materials. This powerful tool uses a pre-existing guide with desired …

We report a novel CsX-strip** mechanism that enables the efficient chemical
transformation of nonluminescent Cs4PbX6 (X= Cl, Br, I) nanocrystals (NCs) to highly …

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 …

The field of plasmonics has become one of the most interesting and active research areas in
nanotechnology, enabling numerous fundamental studies and applications in a variety of …

Research on hybrid inorganic‐organic materials has experienced an explosive growth since
the 1980s, with the expansion of soft inorganic chemistry based processes. Indeed, mild …

Crystal facet engineering of semiconductors has become an important strategy for fine-
tuning the physicochemical properties and thus optimizing the reactivity and selectivity of …

For the first time, this work presents Au@ Ag core− shell nanoparticles (NPs) immobilized on
a metal− organic framework (MOF) by a sequential deposition− reduction method. The small …

Hollow micro‐/nanostructures are of great interest in many current and emerging areas of
technology. Perhaps the best‐known example of the former is the use of fly‐ash hollow …

Plasmonic structures can be constructed from precise numbers of well-defined metal
nanoparticles that are held together with molecular linkers, templates or spacers. Such …
