“…33 OA growth process can be considered as one of the most interesting fields in nanoscience. [34][35][36][37][38][39] In particular, Zhang et al 40 reviewed recent advances in the oriented attachment growth and synthesis of functional materials while Leite et al 41 have been published a new concept of the OA mechanism regarding achievement of the self-organization or mutual orientation of adjacent nanocrystals.…”

BaZrO 3 (BZO) nanoparticles were nucleated, grown and subsequently self-assembled into a 3D decaoctahedronal architecture via a microwave-assisted hydrothermal (MAH) method. X-Ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAFS) as well as both photoluminescence (PL) and radioluminescence (RL) emission studies have provided fundamental insight into the nature of the anisotropic crystal growth mechanism of BZO nanocrystals into their final decaoctahedral shape. The growth mechanism of the assembled nanoparticles via mesoscale transformations to form BZO decaoctahedrons occurs from the surface to the core along a reversed crystallization route. This pathway is accompanied by a large enhancement of RL emissions while the intensity of PL emissions is enhanced and worsened along the process. The analysis of the results reveals a relationship between the decaoctahedrons obtained and their optical properties.

“…Thus As can be measured in low resolution mode, leading to an increased sensitivity and low detection limits between 1.2 and 2.4 pg mL À1 for different arsenic species. 353 In a recent application, the binding of As 3+ to phytochelatins in the roots of the plant Thunbergia alata was investigated. 354 The authors point to the (in-)stability of As 3+ phytochelatin-complexes and obtain 2% or 83% complex bound vs. total As, depending on the sample preparation procedure.…”

“…The oriented attachment (OA) growth mechanism developed by Penn and Banfield et al 4,5 has been widely used to assemble CQD building blocks into free-floating nanosheets. [6][7][8][9][10][11] However, these colloidal nanosheets generally still have strong organic ligands on the surface that limit the charge carrier transfer/transport in their film applications. Thus, large-scale overgrowth of these sheets with a given pattern onto rigid/flexible substrates to achieve improved electronic transport and contact with the substrates is ideal for exploring their fundamental physics and various solid-state optoelectronics, such as low-cost photovoltaic and on-chip nanoelectronic devices.…”

We report a topotactic reaction strategy to achieve the oriented attachment (OA) of colloidal metal chalcogenide quantum dots into micrometer-sized nanosheets and nanobelts (up to 6-7 μm) on both mechanically rigid and flexible substrates. The nonstoichiometric composition, crystallization and Ag doping were controlled. The strong surface adsorption of cations and thiol ligands facilitated micrometer-scale three-dimensional OA. The cations induced the formation of electrostatic forces, cation passivation on the nanosheet surface and overlap packing of the nanosheets, enabling good contact with the substrates and improved electron transport without severe obstruction of organic insulating barriers. The observation of weak anti-localization phenomena and Hall effect sensitivity (up to 188%) of non-stoichiometric Ag 2-δ Te nanosheet films as well as the improved I-V and photoresponse properties of Ag-doped CdX nanosheet films confirm efficient electron transport. The stable I-V properties of these nanosheet films on flexible substrates, even under bending forces, testify to their potential in flexible device applications.
