Simultaneous phase and size control of upconversion nanocrystals through lanthanide doping

TL;DR: The results suggest that the doping-induced structural and size transition, demonstrated here in NaYF4 upconversion nanocrystals, could be extended to other lanthanide-doped nanocrystal systems for applications ranging from luminescent biological labels to volumetric three-dimensional displays.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ultrathin MoS₂ Nanosheets Supported on N-doped Carbon Nanoboxes with Enhanced Lithium Storage and Electrocatalytic Properties.

TL;DR: This work has designed and synthesized a unique hybrid hollow structure by growing ultrathin MoS2 nanosheets on N-doped carbon shells (denoted as C@MoS2nanoboxes) that shows enhanced electrocatalytic activity for the electrochemical hydrogen evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Emerging chirality in nanoscience

TL;DR: This review aims to explore and categorize the common mechanisms underlying chiral nanostructures in simple systems such as the helical spring and hair vortex, and highlight systems with original discoveries, exceptional structural characteristics, or unique mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Graphene-Based Materials for Solar Cell Applications

TL;DR: An overview of the recent research on graphene and its derivatives is presented in this article, with a particular focus on synthesis, properties, and applications in solar cells, which has attracted increasing attention due to its unique electrical, optical, optoelectronic, and mechanical properties.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thermodynamics versus Kinetics in Nanosynthesis

TL;DR: This Review advocates the distinction between thermodynamically and kinetically controlled scenarios, that is, whether a product forms because it is the most stable state or because the pathway leading to it has the lowest energy barrier.
