Colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals are among the most captivating and influential nanomaterials due to their versatility and wide range of applications. Today, advanced nanocrystals are accessible, with high control over size, shape, and anisotropy, complex structures, exceptional purity, controlled doping, and more. These nanoscale materials exhibit unique optical and electronic properties because of their quantum confinement effects. They are used in light emitters, photodetectors, catalysis, energy harvesting, and components crucial for quantum computing endeavours.
With continued research and innovation, these nanomaterials promise to revolutionize various technological fields and address pressing societal challenges. A better grasp of existing processes and uncovering unknown phenomena are crucial for practical applications. This themed collection collates some of the latest research focusing on fundamental understanding and practical applications of semiconductor nanocrystals.
We invite you to discover the latest research from the Advanced semiconductor nanocrystals collection to read the introductory editorial written by guest editors Jannika Lauth (University of Tübingen and Leibniz University Hannover, Germany), Indranath Chakraborty (IIT Kharagpur, India), Klaus Boldt (University of Rostock, Germany) and Angshuman Nag (IISER Pune, India).
All articles in the collection are free to read until the 30 June 2026.

| Our themed collections in our Nanoscale family journals are built by collaboration between our Guest Editors and expert Associate Editors.
Our Guest Editors guide the scope and curate the contributions in our collections, but all submissions are handled through peer review by our team of resident Associate Editors. This means that as an author you receive a consistent experience, and as a reader you can trust the quality of the science being presented. If you have an idea for a topical collection in your research field, we’d love to hear from you! Get in touch with us at nanoscale-rsc@rsc.org |
