  • By means of electron microscopy it is shown that two closely spaced crystalline ZnSe nanorods connected by twinning structures can form through a self-limiting self-assembly process. These colloidal nanorod couples have low photoluminescence polarization anisotropy, their composition can be changed by means of a cation-exchange approach, and could be used to investigate the electronic coupling between the individual nanorods.

  • The efficiency of photocatalysis on semiconductor-metal hybrid nanostructures can be influenced by myriad factors. Here, through both experimental and theoretical efforts, the authors elucidate the influence of metal domain size upon performance of such structures, allowing future rational design.

  • Current quantum dot emitters are limited to small-spectral-range colour tuning accompanied by intensity reduction. Electric-field-induced reversible emission colour switching without intensity loss can be achieved on a single-particle level in quantum dot molecules with two coupled emission centres.

  • The typical high-surface-area and voids of nanoscale cage structures make them attractive for catalysis, gas storage and drug delivery. Contrary to other metal–semiconductor particles, a ruthenium cage is now shown to grow selectively on the edges of a faceted copper sulphide nanocrystal.

  • Core/shell semiconductor nanocrystals have advantageous optoelectronic properties, which depend on the shell architecture. Here the authors show that by reducing the growth rate of ZnS shells on ZnSe nanorods the shell morphology can be tuned from flat to islands-like to helical

  • In analogy to the coupling of atoms into molecules, the authors fuse colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals into quantum dot dimers. These nanocrystal ‘molecules’ exhibit significant quantum coupling effects, making them promising for applications in devices and potential quantum technologies.

  • Photocatalytic water splitting is a route to clean H2, but approaches based on hybrid semiconductor–metal nanoparticles often rely on sacrificial reagents to complete the oxidation half of the overall reaction. New research uses CdS nanocrystals modified with metallic and molecular co-catalysts to simultaneously produce H2 and O2 from water using visible light.

  • The assembly of hundreds of thousands of semiconductor nanorods into nearly spherical or needle-like colloidal superparticles made of highly ordered supercrystalline domains can be explained by simple thermodynamic and kinetic principles.

  • The transition between nonadiabatic and adiabatic electron transfer regimes has been observed in molecular donor-bridge-acceptor complexes. Here, the authors computationally show how to control this transition in colloidal quantum dot molecules and achieve coherent electron transfer at room temperature.
