Surface Engineered Nanomaterials: Synthesis, Stabilization, and Applications

Application-specific nanomaterials with longer lifetime can be developed with the aid of interdisciplinary sciences. For that, exploring different synthetic methods and conditions is necessary. Moreover, designing the  surface ligands with required functionalities is considered the key for stabilization and solubility as well as target binding and different applications. Modification of surface ligands at surface of metal NPs and quantum dots (QDs) opens the door of numerous opportunities in terms of applications. Ligand stabilization can overcome challenges in perovskite QDs and LEDs , and organic reaction catalysis. Appropriate functionality allows for biological applications such as cell targeting and sensing, and so on.
