TL;DR: This work demonstrates the partial replacement of Pb with Mn through phosphine-free hot-injection preparation of CsPbxMn1-xCl3 QDs in colloidal solution, which greatly enhances the photoluminescence quantum yields of C sPbCl3 from 5 to 54%.

TL;DR: The dissolution of elemental Se in oleylamine by alkylthiol reduction at room temperature, which generates soluble alkylammonium selenide, which is highly reactive for hot-injection synthesis of selenides semiconductor NCs, such as Cu(2)ZnSnSe(4), Cu(InGa)Se(2), and CdSe.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported an aqueous synthesis of urchin-like gold nanoparticles (NPs) in the presence of hydroquinone through a seed-mediated growth approach.

TL;DR: A systematic study on the Pt NP-catalyzed decomposition of hydrogen peroxide and scavenging of superoxide and singlet oxygen over a physiologically relevant pH range of 1.12-10.96 shows that Pt NPs possess peroxidase-like activity of decomposing H2O2 into ˙OH under acidic conditions, but catalase- like activity of producing H2 O and O2 under neutral and alkaline conditions.

TL;DR: The stepwise self-assembly of hollow plasmonic vesicles with vesicular membranes containing strings of gold nanoparticles (NPs) is reported and demonstrates that the physical properties of the materials can be tailored by controlling the spatial arrangement of NPs within assemblies to achieve a better performance in biomedical applications.
