Phase Engineering of Atomically Precise Nanoclusters (APNCs) of Gold and Beyond

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Engineering the structural phase of materials is of paramount importance for both fundamental research and practical applications. In this Review, we summarize the recent progress in controlling the phases of atomically precise nanoclusters (APNCs) of gold, silver and copper, as well as bimetallic systems. The phase‐enabled material properties of APNCs

Rational Tuning of Hygroscopic Oscillation of Stacked Nanoflake Assemblies for Continuous Ambient Energy Harvesting

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Stacked nanoflake assembly (SNA) membranes can oscillate autonomously, offering opportunities for soft actuation and energy harvesting. This work uncovers the physical mechanism behind the sustained oscillation of SNA membranes in gradient humidity and identifies three governing dimensionless parameters, enabling rational design for optimizing SNA ...

Defect‐Templated Phase Engineering in Atomically Thin Metals

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Graphene defects are transformed from passive imperfections into programmable templates for phase‐selective growth of atomically thin silver. Plasma‐generated boundary defects favor Ag(1), whereas sp3‐rich zero‐layer graphene promotes Ag(2). This defect‐directed intercalation links local graphene chemistry to crystalline phase, electronic structure ...

Single‐Particle FRET Probes Heterogeneity in the Ligand Shell of Colloidal Perovskite Quantum Dots

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Single‐particle, single‐molecule Förster resonance energy transfer turns dye‐tagged ligands into nanorulers for the otherwise elusive organic shell of CsPbBr3 quantum dots. Distance variations within individual particles reveal pronounced local heterogeneity, while changes in the surrounding ligand chemistry shift the average dye–surface separation ...
