Two-dimensional (2D) materials, thin crystalline substances only a few atoms thick, have numerous advantageous properties compared to their three-dimensional (3D) bulk counterparts. Most notably, many ...
Phosphine ligands modify the structure of metal nanoclusters in a top-down evolutionary process by "peeling" and "etching.” This phosphine-LEIST reaction allows the construction of metal nanoclusters ...
Colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) are semiconducting crystals. They exist on a nanometer scale (ca. 2–12 nm) and are coated with ligand/surfactant molecules to avoid agglomeration. Due to their size, CQDs ...
