The field of nanocrystal quantum dots (QDs) is already more than 30 years old, and yet
continuing interest in these structures is driven by both the fascinating physics emerging …

Singlet fission is a photophysical reaction in which a singlet excited electronic state splits
into two spin-triplet states. Singlet fission was discovered more than 50 years ago, but the …

The remarkable achievement by Fujishima and Honda (1972) in the photo-electrochemical
water splitting results in the extensive use of TiO 2 nanomaterials for environmental …

Recent advances and the current status of challenging light-harvesting nanomaterials, such
as semiconducting quantum dots (QDs), metal nanoparticles, semiconductor–metal …

Semiconductor nanocrystals, the so‐called quantum dots (QDs), exhibit versatile optical and

As the world's population increases, the US Department of Energy has estimated that energy
consumption will increase with it, increasing from 5.7× 1020 J in 2012 to 8.1× 1020 J in …

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 …

Semiconducting quantum dots, whose particle sizes are in the nanometer range, have very
unusual properties. The quantum dots have band gaps that depend in a complicated fashion …

This Review focuses on recent developments in the use of ZnO nanostructures for dye‐
sensitized solar cell (DSC) applications. It is shown that carefully designed and fabricated …
