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 …

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

Colloidal nanoplatelets are atomically flat, quasi-two-dimensional sheets of semiconductor
that can exhibit efficient, spectrally pure fluorescence. Despite intense interest in their …

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 …

Conspectus Semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) fluoresce with a color that strongly depends
on their size and shape. Thus, to obtain homogeneous optical properties, researchers have …

The encapsulation of colloidal lead halide perovskite nanocrystals within silica (SiO2) is one
of the strategies to protect them from polar solvents and other external factors. Here, we …

Thermoelectric technology requires synthesizing complex materials where not only the
crystal structure but also other structural features such as defects, grain size and orientation …

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 …

We investigate the optical absorption properties of colloidal CdSe nanoplatelets and
compare them to CdSe quantum dots. Starting from inductively coupled plasma–atomic …
