Colloidal Transition Metal Chalcogenide Nanosheets and Quantum Dots, a New Class of Nanomaterials, from Synthesis towards Application. Ghent University
Nanomaterials have attracted tremendous attention in science and technology as their behaviour
is very different from their bulk analogues. While bulk gold is unreactive and reflects light, its
nanoscalar counterpart is reactive and capable of absorbing a significant part of incident light. Tiny
semiconductors crystals, so-called quantum dots, emit light with a color according to their size. A
single layer of carbon ...
