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 …

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 …

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 …

Compared with zero‐dimensional quantum dots and one‐dimensional nanorods, two‐
dimensional nanoplatelets exhibit many unique optical properties. Due to strong quantum …

(NPLs) have garnered widespread interest because of their uniquely narrow emission
spectra and favorable characteristics for optical gain and lasing. 1− 5 Strongly quantum …

Zinc blende II–VI semiconductor nanoplatelets (NPLs) are defined at the atomic scale along
the thickness of the nanoparticle and are initially capped with carboxylates on the top and …

Among colloidal nanocrystals, 2D nanoplatelets (NPLs) made of II-VI compounds appear as
a special class of emitters with an especially narrow photoluminescence signal. However …

A mixture of N, N, N′-trisubstituted thiourea and cyclic N, N, N′, N′-tetrasubstituted
selenourea precursors were used to synthesize three monolayer thick CdS1− xSex …

In the past decade, colloidal quantum wells, also known as 2-D semiconductor
nanoplatelets (NPLs), have been added to the colloidal nanocrystal (NC) family. Through …

Two-dimensional II–VI semiconductor nanoplatelets (NPLs) present exceptionally narrow
optical features due to their thickness defined at the atomic scale. Because thickness drives …
