Colloidal synthesis offers a route to nanoparticles (NPs) with controlled composition and structural features. This Perspective describes the use of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) obtain such nanostructures. PVP can serve as surface stabilizer, growth modifier, nanoparticle dispersant, reducing agent. As shown examples, its role depends on synthetic conditions. dependence arises from amphiphilic nature along molecular weight selected PVP. These characteristics affect morphology by providing...
Wet chemistry in organic solvents has proven highly efficient for the preparation of several types metallic, metal-oxide, and semiconductor nanostructures. This Short Review focuses on use oleylamine (OAm) as a versatile reagent synthesis various nanoparticle systems. We describe ability OAm to act surfactant, solvent, reducing agent, function other parameters. also discuss specific role either alone or combination with reactants, form nanostructures using variety inorganic compounds...
A facile selective synthesis of Cu2O and heterogeneous Cu/Cu2O nanoparticles (NPs) was achieved through a solvothermal approach by Cu(NO3)2 in proportion three different surfactants, namely, tetraethylene glycol (TEG), oleylamine (OAm) polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan laurate (Tween 20). Formation aspects for the spherical Cu2O@OAm (30 nm) Cu2O@Tween (12 as well core–shell semishell Cu/Cu2O@TEG NPs (7 Cu/Cu2O@OAm (170 nanorods have been proposed.

The term "Nanocrystal Engineering" can be defined as the design and synthesis of nanocrystals with desired morphologies compositions based on understanding exploitation nucleation growth process. It is a key process in advancing applications nanomaterials including biosensing, catalysis, photonics, electronics photovoltaics. As compared to accomplishments organic synthesis, we are still far from complete experimental control over well-defined morphology. However, last two decades research...
Abstract Ferromagnetism in 2D materials has attracted tremendous interest from the scientific community thanks to its potential for design of magnetic with unique properties. The presence a ferromagnetic element material can improve existing properties and offer new ones, giving rise development manifold applications. This review focuses on recent advances perspectives that bear at least one (iron, cobalt, nickel) as i) structural constituent, ii) dopant atom, or iii) adjacent atom through...
As a fascinating innovative class of effective catalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), transition-metal tellurides have emerged as attractive materials, but they are still suffering from their intrinsic activity practical applications. Defect engineering constitutes promising strategy to optimize the electronic configuration catalyst and further improve HER activity.

Oleylamine-capped Pd nanoparticles, dispersed in an organic solvent, strongly adsorb cellulose paper, which shows great ability to wick fluids due its microfiber structure. Strong van der Waals forces hydrophobic interactions between particles substrate lead nanoparticle immobilization, no desorption upon further...
Magnetically induced hyperthermia has reached a milestone in medical nanoscience and phase III clinical trials for cancer treatment. As it relies on the heat generated by magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) when exposed to an external alternating field, heating ability of these NPs is paramount importance, so their synthesis. We present simple fast method produce iron oxide nanostructures with excellent that are colloidally stable water. A polyol process yielded biocompatible single core...
Abstract The adjustable structures and remarkable physicochemical properties of 2D monoelemental materials, such as silicene germanene, have attracted significant attention in recent years. They can be transformed into silicane (SiH) germanane (GeH) through covalent functionalization via hydrogen atom termination. However, synthesizing these materials with a scalable low‐cost fabrication process to achieve high‐quality SiH GeH poses challenges. Herein, groundbreaking varying compositions,...
Inorganic nanoparticles (INPs) have dynamically emerged in plant protection. The uptake of INPs by plants mostly depends on the size, chemical composition, morphology, and type coating their surface.

Even though WS2 nanotubes (NTs-WS2) have great potential as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and sodium-ion (SIBs) thanks to their unusual layered structure, conductivity cycling stability are far from satisfactory. To tackle these issues, carbon-coated (NTs-WS2@C) nanocomposites were prepared through a facile synthesis method that involved precipitating carbon precursor (20% sucrose) on nanotubes, followed by annealing treatment under an argon environment. Thanks the...
