Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) are nanoscale semiconductor crystals with surface ligands
that enable their dispersion in solvents. Quantum confinement effects facilitate wave function …

Lead halide perovskite nanocrystals are promising for next-generation high-definition
displays, especially in light of their tunable bandgaps, high color purities, and high carrier …

Semiconducting lead halide perovskites (LHPs) have not only become prominent thin-film
absorber materials in photovoltaics but have also proven to be disruptive in the field of …

We introduce a general surface passivation mechanism for cesium lead halide perovskite
materials (CsPbX3, X= Cl, Br, I) that is supported by a combined experimental and …

Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) in semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) that
results in resonant absorption, scattering, and near field enhancement around the NC can …

The complexity of heterogeneous metal catalysts makes it challenging to gain insights into
their catalytic mechanisms. Thus, there exists a huge gap between heterogeneous catalysis …
