ReviewCation/Anion Exchange Reactions toward the Syntheses of Upgraded Nanostructures: Principles and Applications
Progress and Potential
Besides focusing on control over the size and morphology of single compounds, the synthesis of nanostructures has evolved into a new era that emphasizes the precise composition and engineered hybrid interface toward functional improvement. Cation/anion exchange reactions (CERs/AERs) are emerging as an effective strategy to synthesize inorganic nanocrystals (NCs) with precisely tailored structures. In recent years, CERs/AERs have been explored extensively for upgraded syntheses of doped and alloyed NCs, two-dimensional NCs, hollow NCs, and hybrid NCs with desired optoelectronic performances. Hence, we present this review on recently developed, fascinating nanostructures enabled by CERs/AERs and their related enhanced properties. We hope this review will provide researchers specializing in nanosynthesis with valuable insights regarding the advanced synthesis strategy and further potential applications.
