Dual-functioning displays, which can simultaneously transmit and receive information and energy through visible light, would enable enhanced user interfaces and device-to-device interactivity. We demonstrate that double heterojunctions designed into colloidal semiconductor nanorods allow both efficient photocurrent generation through a photovoltaic response and electroluminescence within a single device. These dual-functioning, all-solution-processed double-heterojunction nanorod light-responsiv

Significant quantities of synthetic nanoparticles circulating in the body are cleared and retained for long periods of time in the resident macrophages of the mononuclear phagocytic system (MPS), increasing the likelihood of nanoparticle-mediated chronic toxicity. To date, there has been limited effort to understand how these nanoparticles leave the macrophages. Here, we demonstrate that the native surface chemistries of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) and their subsequent opsonization by serum protei

Unexpected etching of nanocrystals, nanorods, and their heterostructures by one of the most commonly used metal precursors, metal oleates, is reported. Zn oleate is shown to etch CdS nanorods anisotropically, where the length decreases without a significant change in the diameter. Sodium oleate enhances the etch rate, whereas oleic acid alone does not cause etching, indicating the importance of the countercation on the rate of oleate induced etching. Subsequent addition of Se precursors to the p

While solution-processable colloidal quantum dots (QDs) offer cost-effective and large-scale manufacturing, they can be susceptible to subsequent solution processes, making continuous processing challenging. To enable complex and integrated device architectures, robust QD films with subsequent patterning are necessary. Here, we report a facile ligand-crosslinking strategy based on thiol-ene click chemistry. Thiol molecules added to QD films react with UV light to form radicals that crosslink wit

The introduction of nanoparticle-mediated delivery and therapy has revolutionized cancer treatment approaches. However, there has been limited success in clinical trials because current approaches have not simultaneously satisfied therapeutic efficacy and biosafety criteria to an adequate degree. Here, we employ efficient macrophage-mediated exocytosis of elongated nanoparticles to facilitate their localization in tumor cells for cancer therapy and their transport to hepatocytes for hepatobiliar

Self-assembled monolayers of Ag nano particles 7 nm in size, encapsulated by lipid molecules, are fabricated by using a solid-supported liquid-crystalline lipid membrane. By dissolving and reassembling these lipid-encapsulated Ag nanoparticles, various superstructures ranging from 2D planar superlattices and multistacked 3D superlattices to honeycomb-like structure are produced by varying the lipid concentration, temperature, and solvent. Detailed facts of importance to specialist readers are pu

Abstract Colloidal InAs quantum dots (QDs) are emerging candidates for NIR-SWIR optoelectronic applications because of their excellent electrical and optical properties. However, the syntheses of InAs QDs, which demand strongly reducing atmospheres or highly reactive precursors, are difficult because of their highly covalent bonding and lack of Group 15 precursors. While the coreduction method with commercially available arsenic precursors enables facile syntheses of InAs QDs, it results in broa

Contrary to the prevailing notion that shell structures arise from the intricate chemistry and surface defects of InP quantum dots (QDs), an innovative strategy that remarkably enhances the luminescence efficiency of core-only InP QDs to over 90% is introduced. This paradigm shift is achieved through the concurrent utilization of group 2 and 3 metal-derived ligands, providing an effective remedy for surface defects and facilitating charge recombination. Specifically, a combination of Zn carboxyl

A monolayer of 5-nm-sized Ag nanoparticles embedded in a liquid-crystalline lipid membrane undergoes a reversible morphological change during hydration and dehydration of the lipid membrane. High mobility of the encapsulating lipid molecules, chemically bound to the Ag atoms, induces redistribution of metal particles to produce significant and optically detectable changes in nanoparticle morphology. The morphological change occurs on a time scale that enables the Ag-nanoparticle-embedded membran

Colloidal nanorod heterostructures of I–III–VI2 semiconductors have been synthesized in a solution starting from wurtzite-like CuGaS2 nanorods. Growth of CuInS2 or CuInSe2 on CuGaS2 nanorods results in interesting sawtooth structures with larger lattice strain leading to sharper, more pronounced teeth. A final inorganic shell of ZnSe or ZnS grown on the CuGaS2/CuInSe2 nanorod heterostructures enhances photoluminescence. Unusual brush-like structures arise with prolonged ZnSe growth. Time-resolve

The evolution of display technologies is rapidly transitioning from traditional screens to advanced augmented reality (AR)/virtual reality (VR) and wearable devices, where quantum dots (QDs) serve as crucial pure-color emitters. While solution processing efficiently forms QD solids, challenges emerge in subsequent stages, such as layer deposition, etching, and solvent immersion. These issues become especially pronounced when developing diverse form factors, necessitating innovative patterning me

Biological systems excel in image recognition with low power and fast responses. Inspired by the human eye, researchers have developed solid-state artificial visual systems. In this study, a retinomorphic artificial synapse device based on a tungsten diselenide (WSe2)/indium arsenide quantum dot (InAs QD) heterostructure is developed. This device exhibits enhanced short-wavelength infrared (SWIR) responsivity at 1060 nm, which is a synaptic behavior analogous to the human retina. The WSe2/InAs Q
