Abstract
The journey of ceramics in medicine has been synchronized with an evolution from the first generation-alumina, zirconia, etc.-to the third -3D scaffolds. There is an up-and-coming member called oxygen-deficient or colored bioceramics, which have recently found their way through biomedical applications. The oxygen vacancy steers the light absorption toward visible and near infrared regions, making the colored bioceramics multifunctional-therapeutic, diagnostic, and regenerative. Oxygen-deficient bioceramics are capable of turning light into heat and reactive oxygen species for photothermal and photodynamic therapies, respectively, and concomitantly yield infrared and photoacoustic images. Different types of oxygen-deficient bioceramics have been recently developed through various synthesis routes. Some of them like TiO2- x , MoO3- x , and WOx have been more investigated for biomedical applications, whereas the rest have yet to be scrutinized. The most prominent advantage of these bioceramics over the other biomaterials is their multifunctionality endowed with a change in the microstructure. There are some challenges ahead of this category discussed at the end of the present review. By shedding light on this recently born bioceramics subcategory, it is believed that the field will undergo a big step further as these platforms are naturally multifunctional.

Abstract
Heavy-metal (Cd, Hg, and Pb)-containing semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) have been explored widely due to their unique optical and electrical properties. However, the toxicity risks of heavy metals can be a drawback of heavy-metal-containing NCs in some applications. Anisotropic heavy-metal-free semiconductor NCs are desirable replacements and can be realized following the establishment of anisotropic growth mechanisms. These anisotropic heavy-metal-free semiconductor NCs can possess lower toxicity risks, while still exhibiting unique optical and electrical properties originating from both the morphological and compositional anisotropy. As a result, they are promising light-emitting materials in use various applications. In this review, we provide an overview on the syntheses, properties, and applications of anisotropic heavy-metal-free semiconductor NCs. In the first section, we discuss hazards of heavy metals and introduce the typical heavy-metal-containing and heavy-metal-free NCs. In the next section, we discuss anisotropic growth mechanisms, including solution-liquid-solid (SLS), oriented attachment, ripening, templated-assisted growth, and others. We discuss mechanisms leading both to morphological anisotropy and to compositional anisotropy. Examples of morphological anisotropy include growth of nanorods (NRs)/nanowires (NWs), nanotubes, nanoplatelets (NPLs)/nanosheets, nanocubes, and branched structures. Examples of compositional anisotropy, including heterostructures and core/shell structures, are summarized. Third, we provide insights into the properties of anisotropic heavy-metal-free NCs including optical polarization, fast electron transfer, localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPR), and so on, which originate from the NCs' anisotropic morphologies and compositions. Finally, we summarize some applications of anisotropic heavy-metal-free NCs including catalysis, solar cells, photodetectors, lighting-emitting diodes (LEDs), and biological applications. Despite the huge progress on the syntheses and applications of anisotropic heavy-metal-free NCs, some issues still exist in the novel anisotropic heavy-metal-free NCs and the corresponding energy conversion applications. Therefore, we also discuss the challenges of this field and provide possible solutions to tackle these challenges in the future.

Abstract
Materials that sustain localized surface plasmon resonances have a broad technology potential as attractive platforms for surface-enhanced spectroscopies, chemical and biological sensing, light-driven catalysis, hyperthermal cancer therapy, waveguides, and so on. Most plasmonic nanoparticles studied to date are composed of either Ag or Au, for which a vast array of synthetic approaches are available, leading to controllable size and shape. However, recently, alternative materials capable of generating plasmonically enhanced light-matter interactions have gained prominence, notably Cu, Al, In, and Mg. In this Perspective, we give an overview of the attributes of plasmonic nanostructures that lead to their potential use and how their performance is dictated by the choice of plasmonic material, emphasizing the similarities and differences between traditional and emerging plasmonic compositions. First, we discuss the materials limitation encapsulated by the dielectric function. Then, we evaluate how size and shape maneuver localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) energy and field distribution and address how this impacts applications. Next, biocompatibility, reactivity, and cost, all key differences underlying the potential of non-noble metals, are highlighted. We find that metals beyond Ag and Au are of competitive plasmonic quality. We argue that by thinking outside of the box, i.e., by looking at nonconventional materials such as Mg, one can broaden the frequency range and, more importantly, combine the plasmonic response with other properties essential for the implementation of plasmonic technologies.

Abstract
The indispensable requirement for sustainable development of human society has forced almost all countries to seek highly efficient and cost-effective ways to harvest and convert solar energy. Though continuous progress has advanced, it remains a daunting challenge to achieve full-spectrum solar absorption and maximize the conversion efficiency of sunlight. Recently, thermoplasmonics has emerged as a promising solution, which involves several beneficial effects including enhanced light absorption and scattering, generation and relaxation of hot carriers, as well as localized/collective heating, offering tremendous opportunities for optimized energy conversion. Besides, all these functionalities can be tailored via elaborated designs of materials and nanostructures. Here, first the fundamental physics governing thermoplasmonics is presented and then the strategies for both material selection and nanostructured designs toward more efficient energy conversion are summarized. Based on this, recent progress in thermoplasmonic applications including solar evaporation, photothermal chemistry, and thermophotovoltaic is reviewed. Finally, the corresponding challenges and prospects are discussed.

Abstract
BaSnO3 exhibits the highest carrier mobility among perovskite oxides, making it ideal for oxide electronics. Collective charge carrier oscillations known as plasmons are expected to arise in this material, thus providing a tool to control the nanoscale optical field for optoelectronics applications. Here, the existence of relatively long-lived plasmons supported by high-mobility charge carriers in La-doped BaSnO3 (BLSO) is demonstrated. By exploiting the high spatial and energy resolution of electron energy-loss spectroscopy with a focused beam in a scanning transmission electron microscope, the dispersion, confinement ratio, and damping of infrared localized surface plasmons (LSPs) in BLSO nanoparticles are systematically investigated. It is found that LSPs in BLSO exhibit a high degree of spatial confinement compared to those sustained by noble metals and have relatively low losses and high quality factors with respect to other doped oxides. Further analysis clarifies the relation between plasmon damping and carrier mobility in BLSO. The results support the use of nanostructured degenerate semiconductors for plasmonic applications in the infrared region and establish a solid alternative to more traditional plasmonic materials.

Abstract
Plasmonic semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) are a new and exciting class of materials that enable higher control of their localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) than metallic counterparts. Additionally, earth-abundant and non-toxic materials such as copper iron sulfides are gaining interest as alternatives to heavy metal-based semiconductor materials. Colloidal bornite (Cu5FeS4) is an interesting but underexplored example of a heavy metal-free plasmonic semiconductor. This report details the hot-injection synthesis of bornite yielding NCs ranging from 2.7 to 6.1 nm in diameter with stoichiometric control of the copper and iron content. The absorbance spectra of bornite NCs with different Cu:Fe ratios change at different rates as the particles oxidize and develop LSPR in the near-infrared region. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results indicate that oxidation produces sulfates rather than metal oxides as well as a decrease in the iron content within the NCs. Additionally, increasing iron content leads to decreases in carrier density and effective mass of the carrier, as determined by the Drude model. This controlled synthesis, combined with a further understanding of the relationship between the particle structure and optical properties, will enable the continued development and application of these fascinating heavy metal-free plasmonic semiconductor nanoparticles.

Abstract
Plasmonic systems are becoming a favourable alternative to dye molecules in the generation of photoacoustic signals for spectroscopy and imaging. In particular, inorganic nanoparticles are appealing because of their versatility. In fact, as the shape, size and chemical composition of nanoparticles are directly correlated with their plasmonic properties, the excitation wavelength can be tuned to their plasmon resonance by adjusting such traits. This feature enables an extensive spectral range to be covered. In addition, surface chemical modifications can be performed to provide the nanoparticles with designed functionalities, e.g., selective affinity for specific macromolecules. The efficiency of the conversion of absorbed photon energy into heat, which is the physical basis of the photoacoustic signal, can be accurately determined by photoacoustic methods. This review contrasts studies that evaluate photoconversion in various kinds of nanomaterials by different methods, with the objective of facilitating the researchers' choice of suitable plasmonic nanoparticles for photoacoustic applications.

Abstract
The hole density of individual copper sulfide nanocrystals (Cu2-xS NCs) is determined from the stoichiometric mismatch (x) between copper and sulfide atoms. Consequently, the electronic properties of the material vary over a range of x. To exploit Cu2-xS NCs in devices, assemblies of NCs are typically required. Herein, we investigate the influence of x, referred to as the stoichiometric doping effect, on the structural, optical, electrical, and thermoelectric properties of electronically coupled Cu2-xS NC assemblies. The doping process is done by immersing the solid NC assemblies into a solution containing a Cu(I) complex for different durations (0-10 min). As Cu+ gradually occupied the copper-deficient sites of Cu2-xS NCs, x could be controlled from 0.9 to less than 0.1. Consequently, the near-infrared (NIR) absorbance of Cu2-xS NC assemblies changes systematically with x. With increasing x, electrical conductivity increased and the Seebeck coefficient decreased systematically, leading to the maximal thermoelectric power factor from a film of Cu2-xS NCs at an optimal doping condition yielding x = 0.1. The physical characteristics of the Cu2-xS NC assemblies investigated herein will provide guidelines for exploiting this emerging class of nanocrystal system based on doping.

Abstract
The growing demand for self-powered devices has led to the study of novel energy storage solutions that exploit green energies whilst ensuring self-sufficiency. In this context, doped metal oxide nanocrystals (MO NCs) are interesting nanosized candidates with the potential to unify solar energy conversion and storage into one set of materials. In this review, we aim to present recent and important developments of doped MO NCs for light-driven multi-charge accumulation (i.e., photodoping) and solar energy storage. We will discuss the general concept of photodoping, the spectroscopic and theoretical tools to determine the charging process, together with unresolved open questions. We conclude the review by highlighting possible device architectures based on doped MO NCs that are expected to considerably impact the field of energy storage by combining in a unique way the conversion and storage of solar power and opening the path towards competitive and novel light-driven energy storage solutions.

Abstract
![]()
Semiconductor nanocrystals
with extraordinary physicochemical and
biosafety properties with unique nanostructures have shown tremendous
potential as photothermal therapy (PTT) nanosensitizers. Herein, we
successfully synthesized chiral molybdenum (Cys-MoO3–x) nanoparticles (NPs) for overcoming the general
limitation on electron energy bands and biotoxicity. The obtained
Cys-MoO3–x NPs are selected as
an ideal design for the treatment of oral squamous cell carcinoma
(OSCC) cells through the decoration of cysteine molecules due to excellent
initial photothermal spectral analysis of conductivity and light absorbance.
Notably, NPs possess the ability to act as visible light (VL) and
near-infrared (NIR) double-reactive agents to ablate cancer cells.
By combining photoconductive PTT with hypotoxicity biochemotherapy,
the treatment validity of OSCC cancer cells can be improved in vitro
by up to 89% (808 nm) and get potential PTT effect under VL irradiation,
which intuitively proved that the nontoxic NPs were lethally effective
for cancer cells under laser irradiation. Hence, this work highlights
a powerful and safe NP platform for NIR light-triggered PTT for use
in head and neck cancer (HNC) cells, showing promising application
prospects in oral tumor treatment.

Abstract
Leveraging recent advances in electron energy monochromation and aberration correction, we record the spatially resolved infrared plasmon spectrum of individual tin-doped indium oxide nanocrystals using electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS). Both surface and bulk plasmon responses are measured as a function of tin doping concentration from 1-10 atomic percent. These results are compared to theoretical models, which elucidate the spectral detuning of the same surface plasmon resonance feature when measured from aloof and penetrating probe geometries. We additionally demonstrate a unique approach to retrieving the fundamental dielectric parameters of individual semiconductor nanocrystals via EELS. This method, devoid from ensemble averaging, illustrates the potential for electron-beam ellipsometry measurements on materials that cannot be prepared in bulk form or as thin films.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) materials, such as graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides, black phosphorus and hexagonal boron nitride, have been intensively investigated as building blocks for optoelectronic devices in the past few years. Very recently, significant efforts have been devoted to the improvement of the optoelectronic performances of 2D materials, which are restricted by their intrinsically low light absorption due to the ultrathin thickness. Making use of the plasmonic effects of metal nanostructures and intrinsic plasmon excitation in graphene has been shown to be one of the promising strategies. In this minireview, recent progress in 2D material-based optoelectronics enabled by the plasmonic effects is highlighted. A perspective on more possibilities in plasmon-assisted 2D material-based optoelectronic applications will also be provided.

Abstract
A central theme of nanocrystal (NC) research involves synthesis of dimension-controlled NCs and studyof size-dependent scaling laws governing their optical, electrical, magnetic, and thermodynamic properties. Here, we describe the synthesis of monodisperse CdO NCs that exhibit high quality-factor (up to 5.5) mid-infrared (MIR) localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPR) and elucidate the inverse scaling relationship between carrier concentration and NC size. The LSPR wavelength is readily tunable between 2.4 and ∼6.0 μm by controlling the size of CdO NCs. Structural and spectroscopic characterization provide strong evidence that free electrons primarily originate from self-doping due to NC surface-induced nonstoichiometry. The ability to probe and to control NC stoichiometry and intrinsic defects will pave the way toward predictive synthesis of doped NCs with desirable LSPR characteristics.

Abstract
This article reviews thermal properties of semiconductor and emergent plasmonic nanomaterials, focusing on mechanisms through which hot carriers and phonons are produced and dissipated as well as the related impacts on optoelectronic properties. Elevated equilibrium temperatures, of particular relevance for implementation of nanomaterials in devices, affect absorptive and radiative transitions as well as emission efficiency that can present reversible and irreversible changes with temperature. In noble metal or doped semiconductor/insulator nanomaterials, hot carriers and lattice heating can substantially influence localized surface plasmon resonances and yield large ultrafast changes in transmission or strongly oscillatory coherences. Transient optical and diffraction characterizations enable nonequilibrium investigations of phonon dynamics and cooling such as lattice expansion and crystal phase stability. Timescales of nanoparticle thermalization with surroundings and transport of heat within films of such materials are also discussed.

Abstract
Reversible modulation of upconversion luminescence induced by the external field stimuli exhibits potential applications in various fields, such as photoswitches, optical sensing, and optical memory devices. Herein, a new MoO3:Yb3+,Er3+ thermochromic phosphor was synthesized via a high-temperature solid-state method, and the reversible color modification of the MoO3:Yb3+,Er3+ phosphor was obtained by alternating the sintering conditions either in a reducing atmosphere or in air. The color of the MoO3:Yb3+,Er3+ phosphor changed from light-yellow to blue under sintering in the reducing atmosphere and returned back after sintering again in air. The influence of reversible thermochromism on the upconversion luminescence of MoO3:Yb3+,Er3+ phosphor was investigated. The MoO3:Yb3+,Er3+ phosphor prepared in air exhibited visible upconversion luminescence, while the MoO3:Yb3+,Er3+ phosphor has no upconversion luminescence after sintering in the reducing atmosphere. This up-conversion luminescence modulation shows excellent reproducibility after several cycles. The thermochromic MoO3:Yb3+,Er3+ phosphor with reversible modulated upconversion luminescence shows great potential for practical applications in optical switches and optoelectronic multifunctional devices.

Tuning infrared plasmon resonances in doped metal-oxide nanocrystals through cation-exchange reactions. Nat Commun 2019; 10:1394.

Abstract
Metal-oxide nanocrystals doped with aliovalent atoms can exhibit tunable infrared localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPRs). Yet, the range of dopant types and concentrations remains limited for many metal-oxide hosts, largely because of the difficulty in establishing reaction kinetics that favors dopant incorporation by using the co-thermolysis method. Here we develop cation-exchange reactions to introduce p-type dopants (Cu+, Ag+, etc.) into n-type metal-oxide nanocrystals, producing programmable LSPR redshifts due to dopant compensation. We further demonstrate that enhanced n-type doping can be realized via sequential cation-exchange reactions mediated by the Cu+ ions. Cation-exchange transformations add a new dimension to the design of plasmonic nanocrystals, allowing preformed nanocrystals to be used as templates to create compositionally diverse nanocrystals with well-defined LSPR characteristics. The ability to tailor the doping profile postsynthetically opens the door to a multitude of opportunities to deepen our understanding of the relationship between local structure and LSPR properties.

Abstract
While traditional noble metal (Ag, Au, and Cu) nanoparticles are well known for their plasmonic properties, they typically only absorb in the ultraviolet and visible regions. The study of metal hexaborides, lanthanum hexaboride (LaB₆) in particular, expands the available absorbance range of these metals well into the near-infrared. As a result, LaB₆ has become a material of interest for its energy and heat absorption properties, most notably to those trying to absorb solar heat. Given the growing popularity of LaB₆, this review focuses on the advances made in the past decade with respect to controlling the plasmonic properties of LaB₆ nanoparticles. This review discusses the fundamental structure of LaB₆ and explains how decreasing the nanoparticle size changes the atomic vibrations on the surface and thus the plasmonic absorbance band. We explain how doping LaB₆ nanoparticles with lanthanide metals (Y, Sm, and Eu) red-shifts the absorbance band and describe research focusing on the correlation between size dependent and morphological effects on the surface plasmon resonance. This work also describes successes that have been made in dispersing LaB₆ nanoparticles for various optical applications, highlighting the most difficult challenges encountered in this field of study.

Abstract
In order to advance plasmon-based technologies, new materials with low damping losses and high chemical stability are needed. In this letter, we report the bulk scale fabrication of sodium tungsten bronze (Na x WO3) nanoparticles with high Na content (x ≤ 0.83) using a furnace-assisted method. Phase purity and morphology is confirmed with x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Plasmon responses are characterized using spectrophotometry and spatially-resolved electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) in a scanning transmission electron microscope. Experimental EELS maps of individual nanoparticles show the excitation of distinct plasmon resonances at visible and near-infrared (NIR) frequencies, and these observations are supported by boundary element method simulations. Na x WO3 is a promising alternative material for plasmonics due to its strong plasmon resonances when compared to Au, its simple nanofabrication, and low cost. In particular, their high NIR extinction makes these materials ideal for applications in solar control window coatings or plasmonic photocatalysis.

Abstract
Plasmonic response of free charges confined in nanostructures of plasmonic materials is a powerful means for manipulating the light-material interaction at the nanoscale and hence has influence on various relevant technologies. In particular, plasmonic materials responsive in the mid-infrared range are technologically important as the mid-infrared is home to the vibrational resonance of molecules and also thermal radiation of hot objects. However, the development of the field is practically challenged with the lack of low-loss materials supporting high quality plasmons in this range of the spectrum. Here, we demonstrate that degenerately doped InN nanocrystals (NCs) support tunable and low-loss plasmon resonance spanning the entire midwave infrared range. Modulating free-carrier concentration is achieved by engineering nitrogen-vacancy defects (InN1- x, 0.017 < x < 0.085) in highly degenerate NCs using a nonequilibrium gas-phase growth process. Despite the significant reduction in the carrier mobility relative to intrinsic InN, the mobility in degenerate InN NCs (>60 cm2/(V s)) remains considerably higher than the carrier mobility reported for other materials NCs such as doped metal oxides, chalcogenides, and noble metals. These findings demonstrate feasibility of controlled tuning of infrared plasmon resonances in a low-loss material of III-V compounds and open a gateway to further studies of these materials nanostructures for infrared plasmonic applications.

Abstract
Degenerately doped semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) exhibit a localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) in the infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum. Unlike metals, semiconductor NCs offer tunable LSPR characteristics enabled by doping, or via electrochemical or photochemical charging. Tuning plasmonic properties through carrier density modulation suggests potential applications in smart optoelectronics, catalysis and sensing. Here, we elucidate fundamental aspects of LSPR modulation through dynamic carrier density tuning in Sn-doped In2O3 (Sn:In2O3) NCs. Monodisperse Sn:In2O3 NCs with various doping levels and sizes were synthesized and assembled in uniform films. NC films were then charged in an in situ electrochemical cell and the LSPR modulation spectra were monitored. Based on spectral shifts and intensity modulation of the LSPR, combined with optical modelling, it was found that often-neglected semiconductor properties, specifically band structure modification due to doping and surface states, strongly affect LSPR modulation. Fermi level pinning by surface defect states creates a surface depletion layer that alters the LSPR properties; it determines the extent of LSPR frequency modulation, diminishes the expected near-field enhancement, and strongly reduces sensitivity of the LSPR to the surroundings.

Abstract
Recently, heavily doped semiconductors have been emerging as an alternative to low-loss plasmonic materials. InN, belonging to the group III nitrides, possesses the unique property of surface electron accumulation (SEA), which provides a 2D electron gas (2DEG) system. In this report, we demonstrated the surface plasmon properties of InN nanoparticles originating from SEA using the real-space mapping of the surface plasmon fields for the first time. The SEA is confirmed by Raman studies, which are further corroborated by photoluminescence and photoemission spectroscopic studies. The frequency of 2DEG corresponding to SEA is found to be in the THz region. The periodic fringes are observed in the near-field scanning optical microscopic images of InN nanostructures. The observed fringes are attributed to the interference of propagated and back-reflected surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs). The observation of SPPs is solely attributed to the 2DEG corresponding to the SEA of InN. In addition, a resonance kind of behavior with the enhancement of the near-field intensity is observed in the near-field images of InN nanostructures. Observation of SPPs indicates that InN with SEA can be a promising THz plasmonic material for light confinement.

Abstract
Plasmonic compound nanoparticles (NPs) have attracted great interest because they are prepared at lower cost and show unique optical properties. However, full replacement of the plasmonic noble metal NPs with the compound NPs has been difficult because most of the compound NPs exhibit plasmon resonance in the infrared range owing to low free carrier density and mobility. In order to overcome this limitation, we developed a new synthetic method for plasmonic MoO2 and MoO3-x NPs. Those NPs exhibit plasmon resonance at ∼500 nm and 600-1000 nm, respectively, likely because of high carrier densities. The plasmonic properties of the NPs are tunable by changing the synthetic conditions or oxidizing and reducing the NPs. Their refractive index sensitivities are 115-260 nm RIU-1. Those molybdenum oxide NPs are expected to substitute for plasmonic noble metal NPs in optical, electronic, sensing and light harvesting devices and materials.

Abstract
Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) in semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) that results in resonant absorption, scattering, and near field enhancement around the NC can be tuned across a wide optical spectral range from visible to far-infrared by synthetically varying doping level, and post synthetically via chemical oxidation and reduction, photochemical control, and electrochemical control. In this review, we will discuss the fundamental electromagnetic dynamics governing light matter interaction in plasmonic semiconductor NCs and the realization of various distinctive physical properties made possible by the advancement of colloidal synthesis routes to such NCs. Here, we will illustrate how free carrier dielectric properties are induced in various semiconductor materials including metal oxides, metal chalcogenides, metal nitrides, silicon, and other materials. We will highlight the applicability and limitations of the Drude model as applied to semiconductors considering the complex band structures and crystal structures that predominate and quantum effects that emerge at nonclassical sizes. We will also emphasize the impact of dopant hybridization with bands of the host lattice as well as the interplay of shape and crystal structure in determining the LSPR characteristics of semiconductor NCs. To illustrate the discussion regarding both physical and synthetic aspects of LSPR-active NCs, we will focus on metal oxides with substantial consideration also of copper chalcogenide NCs, with select examples drawn from the literature on other doped semiconductor materials. Furthermore, we will discuss the promise that LSPR in doped semiconductor NCs holds for a wide range of applications such as infrared spectroscopy, energy-saving technologies like smart windows and waste heat management, biomedical applications including therapy and imaging, and optical applications like two photon upconversion, enhanced luminesence, and infrared metasurfaces.

Abstract
Lanthanum hexaboride (LaB₆) has become a material of intense interest in recent years due to its low work function, thermal stability and intriguing optical properties. LaB₆ is also a semiconductor plasmonic material with the ability to support strong plasmon modes. Some of these modes uniquely stretch into the infrared, allowing the material to absorb around 1000 nm, which is of great interest to the window industry. It is well known that the plasmon of LaB₆ can be tuned by controlling particle size and shape. In this work, we explore the options available to further tune the optical properties by describing how metal vacancies and Eu doping concentrations are additional knobs for tuning the absorbance from the near-IR to far-IR in La1-xEuxB₆ (x = 0, 0.2, 0.5, 0.8, and 1.0). We also report that there is a direct correlation between Eu concentration and metal vacancies within the Eu1-xLaxB₆.

Abstract
Active control of nanocrystal optical and electrical properties is crucial for many of their applications. By electrochemical (de)lithiation of Cu2-xSe, a highly doped semiconductor, dynamic and reversible manipulation of its NIR plasmonics has been achieved. Spectroelectrochemistry results show that NIR plasmon red-shifted and reduced in intensity during lithiation, which can be reversed with perfect on-off switching over 100 cycles. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy reveals that a Faradaic redox process during Cu2-xSe (de)lithiation is responsible for the optical modulation, rather than simple capacitive charging. XPS analysis identifies a reversible change in the redox state of selenide anion but not copper cation, consistent with DFT calculations. Our findings open up new possibilities for dynamical manipulation of vacancy-induced surface plasmon resonances and have important implications for their use in NIR optical switching and functional circuits.

Abstract
The optical response of ZnO nanocrystals (NCs) doped with Al (Ga) impurities is calculated using a model that incorporates the effects of quantum confinement, dielectric mismatch, surface, and ionized impurity scattering. For dopant concentrations of a few percent, the NC polarizability is dominated by a localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) in the infrared (IR) which follows the Drude-Lorentz law for NC diameter above ∼10 nm but is strongly blue-shifted for smaller diameters due to quantum confinement effects. The intrinsic width of the LSPR peak is calculated in order to characterize plasmon losses induced by ionized impurity scattering. Widths below 80 meV are found in the best cases, in agreement with the lowest values recently measured on single NCs. These results confirm that doped ZnO NCs are very promising for the development of IR plasmonics. The width of the LSPR peak strongly increases when dopants are placed near the surface of the NCs or when additional fixed charges are present.

Abstract
This review captures the synthesis, assembly, properties, and applications of copper chalcogenide NCs, which have achieved significant research interest in the last decade due to their compositional and structural versatility. The outstanding functional properties of these materials stems from the relationship between their band structure and defect concentration, including charge carrier concentration and electronic conductivity character, which consequently affects their optoelectronic, optical, and plasmonic properties. This, combined with several metastable crystal phases and stoichiometries and the low energy of formation of defects, makes the reproducible synthesis of these materials, with tunable parameters, remarkable. Further to this, the review captures the progress of the hierarchical assembly of these NCs, which bridges the link between their discrete and collective properties. Their ubiquitous application set has cross-cut energy conversion (photovoltaics, photocatalysis, thermoelectrics), energy storage (lithium-ion batteries, hydrogen generation), emissive materials (plasmonics, LEDs, biolabelling), sensors (electrochemical, biochemical), biomedical devices (magnetic resonance imaging, X-ray computer tomography), and medical therapies (photochemothermal therapies, immunotherapy, radiotherapy, and drug delivery). The confluence of advances in the synthesis, assembly, and application of these NCs in the past decade has the potential to significantly impact society, both economically and environmentally.

Abstract
W18O49 with a tunable oxidation state was prepared by addition of NaNO3 or NaBH4 as a redox agent in the solvothermal system. The addition of redox agents has no influence on the crystallization of W18O49. The obtained W18O49 structures keep their morphology as a bundle of nanowires with a regular hexagonal on the cross-section. W18O49 exhibits strong valence-dependent absorption features in the near-IR region. Reduced W18O49 with more W5+ has a higher concentration of oxygen vacancies, which enhances the localized surface plasmon resonance effect. Reduced W18O49 exhibits a high photothermal conversion efficiency of 59.6 % and has good photothermal stability.

Abstract
A new approach to synthesize self-doped colloidal Cu3-x P NCs with controlled size and localized surface plasmon resonance absorption is reported. These Cu3-x P NCs show ultrafast exciton dynamics and huge optical nonlinearities due to plasmonic resonances, which afford the first demonstration of plasmonic Cu3-x P NCs as simple, effective, and solution-processed nonlinear absorbers for high-energy Q-switched fiber laser.

Abstract
Fixed-aspect-ratio rod-to-rod conversion of binary V-VI Sb2 Se3 to ternary I-V-VI Cu3 SbSe3 semiconducting nano structures is reported. Capturing the inter mediate products, the insight mechanisms of the ion-diffusion process for the structural transformation are established. The final ternary structure shows localized surface plasmonresonance-induced absorption in the near-infrared regions.
