Regiospecific Cation Exchange in Nanocrystals and Its Potential in Diversifying the Nanostructural Library

“…The physicochemical properties of NCs can be finely tuned by their composition, size/shape, and heterointerfaces, making them promising candidate materials for many applications. [13][14][15][16][17][18] Ion exchange on the various template NCs available has been proposed as a promising strategy for heterostructured nanoparticle synthesis and attracted tremendous interest. [7,9,11] This section mainly discusses fundamental principles and experimental insights into the rules of CERs for developing NCs.…”

Recent Advances in Photocatalysis Based on Bioinspired Superwettabilities

“…Similarly to superwettability, photocatalysis is also an important interfacial property, which has been regarded as a green and sustainable tool to transform light energy into chemical energy. − Recently, Jiang’s group conducted a series of works related to wettability control in MOFs for photocatalysis. − The catalytic performance is strongly influenced by the regulation of surface wetting behaviors. − As the most reported photocatalysts, those with (super)­hydrophilicities are used to react with aqueous solutions, − since the wetting states ensure sufficient contacts between catalysts and targeted solutions and then more active sites are able to function. Moreover, when other different wettabilities (i.e., superhydrophobicity, − responsive superwetting, , patterned superwetting, − Janus superwetting, slippery, superamphiphobicity) exist in the photocatalytic materials, a variety of functions and applications have emerged over the past decade.…”
