We review the synthesis of semiconductor nanocrystals/colloidal quantum dots in organic
solvents with special emphasis on earth-abundant and toxic heavy metal free compounds …

This review summarizes traditional and recent nonconventional, bioinspired, methods for the
aqueous synthesis of colloidal semiconductor quantum dots (QDs). The basic chemistry …

Inorganic colloidal nanoparticles are very small, nanoscale objects with inorganic cores that
are dispersed in a solvent. Depending on the material they consist of, nanoparticles can …

Nanoscience includes the study of objects and systems in which at least one dimension is 1-
100 nm. The objects studied in this range of sizes are larger than atoms and small …

Nanoparticle superlattices are periodic arrays of nanoscale inorganic building blocks
including metal nanoparticles, quantum dots and magnetic nanoparticles. Such assemblies …

Despite the increasing use of semiconductor nanocrystals (quantum dots, QDs) with unique
size-controlled optical and chemical properties in (bio) analytical detection, biosensing and …

We report on the state-of-the art synthesis and improved luminescence properties of thiol-
capped CdTe nanocrystals (NCs) synthesized in water. The optimized pH (12) and molar …

The exchange reactions of X-type ligands at the surface of CdSe nanocrystals have been
quantified via 1H NMR, absorbance, and emission spectroscopies. 1H NMR was used to …

An efficient synthesis of sialic‐acid‐terminated glycerol dendron to chemically functionalize
2 nm and 14 nm gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) is described. These nanoparticles are highly …

We report on the effects of Lewis bases and other ligands on radiative recombination in
CdSe quantum dots (QDs) in several solvents. Long-chain primary amines are found to be …
