Monodisperse BaF₂ Nanocrystals: Phases, Size Transitions, and Self‐Assembly

Nanocrystals: Solution-based synthesis and applications as nanocatalysts

“…Through reasonable derivation and approximation, we came to the conclusion: w h i c h i n d i c a t e s t h a t i n c re a s i n g t h e i n i t i a l concentrations will lead to an increase in the specifi c surface area of the nanocrystals. The DCK model measures the kinetics-dominated size transition and morphology evolution of nanocrystals under non-equilibrium conditions [45]. It starts from the growth rate equations:…”

Shape control of CoO and LiCoO2 nanocrystals

“…From a theoretical perspective, it is essential to explore the decisive parameters influencing the final crystal morphology in order to deeply understand the growth kinetics and structural polymorphism in nanocrystals [6][7][8][9][10]; from a practical perspective, it is necessary to develop effective synthetic strategies modifying the crystal morphology in order to design and fabricate nanomaterials with optimized crystal facets exhibiting tailored properties [11][12][13][14].…”

Understanding of the major reactions in solution synthesis of functional nanomaterials

“…Actually, the growth process can be defined as the continual attachment of monomers to the preformed nuclei and seeds or the aggregation between nuclei. As a result, the specific parameters, such as lattice mismatch, crystal phase, exposed facets, capping agent, interparticle interaction, should be considered in the growth process [27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35]. Furthermore, when the size of nuclei or seeds is beyond the nanoscale, some colloidal behavior will also take place.…”
