Journal ArticleDOI
Mesocrystals: Inorganic superstructures made by highly parallel crystallization and controlled alignment
Helmut Cölfen,Markus Antonietti +1 more
TL;DR: Mesocrystals are exiting examples of nonclassical crystallization, which does not proceed through ion-by-ion attachment, but by a modular nanobuilding-block route, which makes crystallization more independent of ion products or molecular solubility, it occurs without pH or osmotic pressure changes, and opens new strategies for crystal morphogenesis.

CuO nanostructures: Synthesis, characterization, growth mechanisms, fundamental properties, and applications
Qiaobao Zhang,Kaili Zhang,Daguo Xu,Guangcheng Yang,Hui Huang,Fude Nie,Chenmin Liu,Shihe Yang +7 more
TL;DR: A comprehensive review of recent synthetic methods along with associated synthesis mechanisms, characterization, fundamental properties, and promising applications of Cupric oxide (CuO) nanostructures is presented in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oriented attachment and mesocrystals: Non-classical crystallization mechanisms based on nanoparticle assembly
TL;DR: A non-exhaustive literature survey on particle based crystallization pathways leading to single crystals via mesoscopic transformation with a focus on recent examples and studies, which are dedicated to a mechanistic understanding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent advances in oriented attachment growth and synthesis of functional materials: concept, evidence, mechanism, and future
TL;DR: In this article, a systematic analysis of the particle-based aggregation mechanism of oriented attachment in controllable synthesis of functional inorganic materials is described in particular, with nanoparticles or nanoribbons as primary building units to form 1D, 2D or 3D structures.

Hierarchical WO3 Hollow Shells: Dendrite, Sphere, Dumbbell, and Their Photocatalytic Properties
Di Chen,Jinhua Ye,Jinhua Ye +2 more
TL;DR: In this paper, hierarchical WO3 hollow shells: dendrites, spheres and dumbbells have been successfully synthesized by simply calcining the acid-treated PbWO4 and SrWO 4 as precursors at 500°C for 2'h.

Imperfect Oriented Attachment: Dislocation Generation in Defect-Free Nanocrystals
R. Lee Penn,Jillian F. Banfield +1 more
TL;DR: Spiral growth at two or more closely spaced screw dislocations provides a mechanism for generating complex polytypic and polymorphic structures and is of fundamental importance to understanding crystal growth.

Self-Assembly of ZnO: From Nanodots to Nanorods
Journal ArticleDOI
Spontaneous organization of single CdTe nanoparticles into luminescent nanowires.
TL;DR: These findings demonstrate the collective behavior of nanoparticles as well as a convenient, simple technique for production of one-dimensional semiconductor colloids suitable for subsequent processing into quantum-confined superstructures, materials, and devices.

Aggregation-Based Crystal Growth and Microstructure Development in Natural Iron Oxyhydroxide Biomineralization Products
TL;DR: High-resolution transmission electron microscopy of biomineralization products of iron-oxidizing bacteria revealed an alternative coarsening mechanism in which adjacent 2- to 3-nanometer particles aggregate and rotate so their structures adopt parallel orientations in three dimensions.
