Ligand exchange on nanocrystals: fundamental mechanisms, regulation of nanocrystal properties, self-assembly, and advanced applications

Colloidal nanocrystals (NCs) represent essential building blocks for emerging next-generation technologies. However, long-chain organic ligands introduced during synthesis are electrically insulating, which creates substantial bottlenecks for charge transport in NC-based assemblies. In this review, we systematically su...
