Unique view on producing metal nano supracrystals by differing their morphologies, crystalline structures, chemical, and physical properties
After presenting an overview on the various factors involved in producing metal supracrystals by differing their morphologies, crystalline structures, chemical, and physical properties, Metal Nano Supracrystals reveals the limitations faced by the system and the potential research required to improve the system. Readers will gain insight into the various approaches on the production and on the chemical and physical properties of supracrystals composed by either one or two components, thus opening up new avenues of research and potentially aiding in major progress. Overall, the work reviews the progress of and gives perspective on assembled nanocrystals, with a concentrated focus on self-assemblies of metal nanocrystals.
Sample topics covered by the highly qualified and internationally awarded author include:
- Syntheses of nanocrystals with low size distribution and properties of nanocrystals differing by their nanocrystallinity
- The various assemblies obtained by solvent evaporation of Au colloidal solution, showing that coating agents, nanocrystal size, solvent vapor pressure, and temperature play key roles in the final crystalline structures
- How crystalline structure of colloidal crystals keep the memory, after evaporation, of the solvent used to disperse Ag nanocrystals
- How by slow solvent evaporation of a magnetic colloidal solutions under a magnetic field, long superimposed cylinders with a very regular structure are produced when the applied field is parallel to the substrate
Metal Nano Supracrystals offers a deep dive into their synthesis, properties, and applications and is an essential resource for inorganic chemists, materials scientists, physical chemists, surface chemists, and medicinal chemists conducting research related to or involved in the practical application of the topics covered within.
