Timescale-controlled Transformations for Colloidal Multielemental Nanocrystal Design
Colloidal nanocrystals (NCs) represent an exciting material class where surface and finite-size effects result in prominent physicochemical phenomena. Bottom-up colloidal methods have demonstrated unmatched control over NC properties by enabling their synthesis with defined sizes, shapes, compositions, elemental distributions, crystal habits, and surface chemistry. However, the field is moving toward sophisticated nanomaterials where complex compositions, unconventional elemental mixing patterns, and precisely engineered lattice defects offer advanced optical and catalytic functionalities, among others. Unfortunately, these NC features and their technological impact remain largely…
