Abstract
As a crucial post-synthesis method, ion exchange allows for precise control over the composition, interface, and morphology of nanocrystals at the atomic scale, achieving material properties that are difficult to obtain with traditional synthesis techniques. In nanomaterial science, semiconductor magic-size clusters (MSCs), with their atomic-level precision and unique quantum confinement effects, serve as a bridge between molecules and nanocrystals. Despite this, research on ion exchange in MSCs is still in its infancy. This review introduces the principles of ion exchange and reactions in colloidal nanocrystals and MSCs, analyzing the importance and challenges of ion exchange in studying MSCs. This paper begins with a focus on the current research progress of cation and anion exchange in II-VI and III-V semiconductor MSCs. Then, the common methods for characterizing MSCs during the ion exchange process are discussed. Finally, the article envisions future research directions based on MSCs' ion exchange. Research on MSCs' ion exchange not only aids in designing MSCs with complex functionalities, but also plays an essential role in elucidating the ion exchange mechanisms in nanocrystals, providing new insights for the innovative design and synthesis of nanomaterials.

Topotaxial mutual-exchange growth of magnetic Zintl Eu 3In 2As 4 nanowires with axion insulator classification. NATURE NANOTECHNOLOGY 2024:10.1038/s41565-024-01762-7.

Abstract
Due to quasi-one-dimensional confinement, nanowires possess unique electronic properties, which can promote specific device architectures. However, nanowire growth presents paramount challenges, limiting the accessible crystal structures and elemental compositions. Here we demonstrate solid-state topotactic exchange that converts wurtzite InAs nanowires into Zintl Eu3In2As4. Molecular-beam-epitaxy-based in situ evaporation of Eu and As onto InAs nanowires results in the mutual exchange of Eu from the shell and In from the core. Therefore, a single-phase Eu3In2As4 shell grows, which gradually consumes the InAs core. The mutual exchange is supported by the substructure of the As matrix, which is similar across the wurtzite InAs and Zintl Eu3In2As4 and therefore is topotactic. The Eu3In2As4 nanowires undergo an antiferromagnetic transition at a Néel temperature of ~6.5 K. Ab initio calculations confirm the antiferromagnetic ground state and classify Eu3In2As4 as a C2T axion insulator, hosting both chiral hinge modes and unpinned Dirac surface states. The topotactic mutual-exchange nanowire growth will, thus, enable the exploration of intricate magneto-topological states in Eu3In2As4 and potentially in other exotic compounds.

Abstract
Undergraduate research transforms student's conceptions of themselves as scientists and encourages participation and retention in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. Many barriers exist to carrying out scientifically impactful undergraduate research in nanomaterials at primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs). Here, we share several practices and design principles that demonstrate pathways to overcome these barriers. Design of modular research projects with low entry barriers is essential. Postsynthetic transformation of nanoparticles is a field that enables such design and has been used successfully to advance nanoscience research while being achievable within undergraduate laboratories. Relatively large, inclusive research communities can be supported through the creation of opportunities with peer- and near-peer mentoring. We also share emerging strategies for enabling routine undergraduate access to transmission electron microscopy, which is one of the most mainstream characterization techniques in nanoscience yet is frequently absent from the infrastructure at undergraduate-focused institutions.

Abstract
Efficient and stable photocathodes are crucial for the development of photoelectrochemical (PEC) water-splitting devices. Silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cell is one of the most advanced photovoltaic cells. However, due to the instability of its outermost indium tin oxide (ITO) layers in the electrolyte, a protective layer needs to be introduced on its surface. Previously reported high-quality protective layers almost all involved the use of expensive thin film manufacturing techniques such as atomic layer deposition (ALD). In this work, for the first time, a new strategy is proposed of modifying SHJ-based photocathode with yttrium hydroxide (Y(OH)3) through two-step solution methods to simultaneously improve the stability and activity. The optimized SHJ photocathode exhibits a high applied bias photon-to-current efficiency (ABPE) of 8.4% under simulated 100 mW cm-2 (1 Sun) with an AM 1.5G filter in 0.5 m KOH. Furthermore, the obtained SHJ photocathode demonstrates excellent stability of at least 110 h at 0.3 V versus RHE. In this work, combining facile direct current magnetron sputtering with a solution treatment technique provides a novel design strategy, which lowers the threshold for preparing high-quality protective layer, and paves the way for developing economic, efficient, and stable SHJ-based PEC devices.

Abstract
Cation exchange is a versatile method for modifying the material composition and properties of nanostructures. However, control of the degree of exchange and material properties is difficult at the single-particle level. Successive cation exchange from CdSe to Ag2Se has been utilized here on the same individual nanowires to monitor the change of electronic properties in field-effect transistor devices. The transistors were fabricated by direct synthesis of CdSe nanowires on prepatterned substrates followed by optical lithography. The devices were then subjected to cation exchange by submerging them in an exchange solution containing silver nitrate. By removal of the devices from solution and probing the electrical transport properties at different times, the change in electronic properties of individual nanowires could be monitored throughout the entire exchange reaction from CdSe to Ag2Se. Transistor characterization revealed that the electrical conductivity can be tuned by up to 8 orders of magnitude and the charge-carrier mobility by 7 orders of magnitude. While analysis of the material composition by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy confirmed successful cation exchange from CdSe to Ag2Se, X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy proved that cation exchange also took place below the contacts. The method presented here demonstrates an efficient way to tune the material composition and access the resulting properties nondestructively at the single-particle level. This approach can be readily applied to many other material systems and can be used to study the electrical properties of nanostructures as a function of material composition or to optimize nanostructure-based devices after fabrication.

Abstract
Nanostructured high-/medium-entropy compounds have emerged as important catalytic materials for energy conversion technologies, but complex thermodynamic relationships involved with the element mixing enthalpy have been a considerable roadblock to the formation of stable single-phase structures. Cation exchange reactions (CERs), in particular with copper sulfide templates, have been extensively investigated for the synthesis of multicomponent heteronanoparticles with unconventional structural features. Because copper cations within the host copper sulfide templates are stoichiometrically released with incoming foreign cations in CERs to maintain the overall charge balance, the complete absence of Cu cations in the nanocrystals after initial CERs would mean that further compositional variation would not be possible by subsequent CERs. Herin, we successfully retained a portion of Cu cations within the silver sulfide (Ag2S) and gold sulfide (Au2S) phases of Janus Cu2-xS-M2S (M = Ag, Au) nanocrystals after the CERs, by partially suppressing the transformation of the anion sublattice that inevitably occurs during the introduction of external cations. Interestingly, the subsequent CERs on Janus Cu1.81S-M2S (M = Ag, Au), by utilizing the remnant Cu cations, allowed the construction of Janus Cu1.81S-AgxAuyS, which preserved the initial heterointerface. The synthetic strategy described in this work to suppress the complete removal of the Cu cation from the template could fabricate the CER-driven heterostructures with greatly diversified compositions, which exhibit unusual optical and catalytic properties.

Abstract
In this study, we conducted a high-pressure investigation of Cu2-xSe nanostructures with pyramid- and plate-like morphologies, created through cation exchange from zinc-blende CdSe nanocrystals and wurtzite CdSe nanoplatelets respectively. Using a diamond anvil cell setup at the APS synchrotron, we observed the phase transitions in the Cu2-xSe nanostructures up to 40 GPa, identifying a novel CsCl-type lattice with Pm3̅m symmetry above 4 GPa. This CsCl-type structure, previously unreported in copper selenides, was partially retained after decompression. Our results indicate that the initial crystalline structure of CdSe does not affect the stability of Cu2-xSe nanostructures formed via cation exchange. Both morphologies of Cu2-xSe sintered under compression, potentially contributing to the stabilization of the high-pressure phase through interfacial defects. These findings are significant for discovering new phases with potential applications in future technologies.

Abstract
Flexible control of the composition and morphology of nanocrystals (NCs) over a wide range is an essential technology for the creation of functional nanomaterials. Cation exchange (CE) is a facile method by which to finely tune the compositions of ionic NCs, providing an opportunity to obtain complex nanostructures that are difficult to form using conventional chemical synthesis procedures. However, due to their robust anion frameworks, CE cannot typically be used to modify the original morphology of the host NCs. In this study, we report an anisotropic morphological transformation of Cu1.8S NCs during CE. Upon partial CE of Cu1.8S nanoplates (NPLs) with Mn2+, the hexagonal NPLs are transformed into crescent-shaped Cu1.8S-MnS NPLs. Upon further CE, these crescent-shaped NPLs evolve back into completely hexagonal MnS NPLs. Comprehensive characterization of the intermediates reveals that this waxing-and-waning shape-evolution process is due to dissolution, redeposition, and intraparticle migration of Cu+ and S2-. Furthermore, in addition to Mn2+, this CE-induced transformation process occurs with Zn2+, Cd2+ and Fe3+. This finding presents a strategy by which to create heterostructured NCs with various morphologies and compositions under mild conditions.

Abstract
Contamination of groundwater with fluoride represents a significant global issue, with high concentrations posing serious public health threats. While fluoride is a critical element in water, excessive levels can be detrimental to human health and potentially life-threatening. Addressing the challenge of removing fluoride from underground water sources via nanotechnological approaches is a pressing concern in environmental science. To collate relevant information, extensive literature searches were conducted across multiple databases, including Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, the American Chemical Society, Elsevier, Springer, and the Royal Society of Chemistry. VOS Viewer software version 1.6.20 was employed for a systematic review. This article delivers an exhaustive evaluation of various groundwater fluoride removal techniques, such as adsorption, membrane filtration, electrocoagulation, photocatalysis, and ion exchange. Among these, the application of nanoparticles emerges as a notable method. The article delves into nano-compounds, optimizing conditions for the fluoride removal process and benchmarking their efficacy against other techniques. Studies demonstrate that advanced nanotechnologies-owing to their rapid reaction times and potent oxidation capabilities-can remove fluoride effectively. The implementation of nanotechnologies in fluoride removal not only enhances water quality but also contributes to the safeguarding of human health.

Abstract
Metal halide perovskite nanostructures, characterized by their ionic nature, present a compelling avenue for the tunability of dimensions and band gaps through facile compositional transformations involving both cationic and anionic exchange reactions. While post-synthetic ion-exchange processes have been extensively explored in Pb-halide perovskite nanocrystals, the inherent instability of Sn2+ has limited the exploration of such processes in Sn-halide perovskite nanostructures. In this study, we present a straightforward cation exchange process wherein 2D [R-NH3]2SnX4 Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) nanostructures with n = 1 transition to 3D ASnX3 nanocrystals at room temperature with the addition of A-cation oleate. In addition, anion exchange processes have been demonstrated for both 2D [R-NH3]2SnX4 RP nanostructures and 3D nanocrystals, showcasing transitions between iodide and bromide counterparts. Furthermore, we have fabricated a thin film of 2D [R-NH3]2SnX4 RP nanostructures for cation exchange, wherein A-cation diffusion through a liquid-solid interface facilitates the transformation into a 3D ASnX3 crystal. This investigation underscores the versatility of ion exchange processes in engineering the composition of Sn-halide perovskite nanostructures and, consequently, modulating their optical properties.

Abstract
Ion exchange is an effective postsynthesis strategy for the design of colloidal nanomaterials with unique structures and properties. In contrast to the rapid development of cation exchange (CE), the study of anion exchange is still in its infancy and requires an in-depth understanding. Magic-size clusters (MSCs) are important reaction intermediates in quantum dot (QD) synthesis, and studying the ion exchange processes can provide valuable insights into the transformations of QDs. Here, we achieved anion exchange in Cd-based MSCs and elucidated the reaction pathways. We demonstrated that the anion exchange was a stepwise intermolecular transition mediated by covalent inorganic complexes (CICs). We proposed that this transition involved three essential steps: the disassembly of CdE1-MSCs into CdE1-CICs (step 1), an anion exchange reaction from CdE1-CICs to CdE2-CICs (step 2), and assembly of CdE2-CICs to CdE2-MSCs (step 3). Step 3 was the rate-determining step and followed first-order reaction kinetics (kobs = 0.01 min-1; from CdSe-MSCs to CdS-MSCs). Further studies revealed that the activity of foreign anions only affected the reaction kinetics without altering the reaction pathway. The present study provides a deeper insight into the anion exchange mechanisms of MSCs and will further shed light on the synthesis of QDs.

Abstract
Colloidal quantum dots with lower surface ligand density are desired for preparing the active layer for photovoltaic, lighting, and other potential optoelectronic applications. In emerging perovskite quantum dots (PQDs), the diffusion of cations is thought to have a high energy barrier, relative to that of halide anions. Herein, we investigate the fast cross cation exchange approach in colloidal lead triiodide PQDs containing methylammonium (MA+) and formamidinium (FA+) organic cations, which exhibits a significantly lower exchange barrier than inorganic cesium (Cs+)-FA+ and Cs+-MA+ systems. First-principles calculations further suggest that the fast internal cation diffusion arises due to a lowering in structural distortions and the consequent decline in attractive cation-cation and cation-anion interactions in the presence of organic cation vacancies in mixed MA+-FA+ PQDs. Combining both experimental and theoretical evidence, we propose a vacancy-assisted exchange model to understand the impact of structural features and intermolecular interaction in PQDs with fewer surface ligands. Finally, for a realistic outcome, the as-prepared mixed-cation PQDs display better photostability and can be directly applied for one-step coated photovoltaic and photodetector devices, achieving a high photovoltaic efficiency of 15.05% using MA0.5FA0.5PbI3 PQDs and more precisely tunable detective spectral response from visible to near-infrared regions.

Abstract
Utilization of copper-deficient Cu2-xS nanocrystals (NCs) with diverse crystal phases and stoichiometries as cation exchange (CE) templates is a potential route to overcome the current limitations in the polymorph selective synthesis of desired nanomaterials. Among the Cu2-xS NCs, covellite CuS is emerging as an attractive CE template to produce complicated and metastable metal sulfide NCs. The presence of a reducing agent is essential to induce a phase transition of CuS into other Cu2-xS phases prior to the CE reactions. Nevertheless, the effect of the reducing agent on the phase transition of CuS, especially into the hexagonal close packing (hcp) phase and the cubic close packing (ccp) phase, has been scarcely exploited, but it is highly important for the polymorphic production of metal sulfides with the wurtzite phase and zinc blende phase. Herein, we report a reducing agent dependent pre-phase transition of CuS nanodisks (NDs) into hcp and ccp Cu2-xS NCs. 1-Dodecanethiol molecules and oleylamine molecules selectively reduced CuS NDs into hcp djurleite Cu1.94S NDs and ccp digenite Cu1.8S NCs. Afterward, the hcp Cu1.94S NDs and ccp Cu1.8S NCs were exchanged by Zn2+/Cd2+/Mn2+, and the wurtzite phase and the zinc blende phase of ZnS, CdS, and MnS NCs were produced. Without the pre-phase transition, direct CE reactions of CuS NDs are incapable of synthesizing the above wurtzite and zinc blende metal sulfide NCs. Therefore, our findings suggest the importance of the pre-phase transition of the CE template in polymorphic syntheses, holding great promise in the fabrication of other polymorphic nanomaterials with novel physical and chemical properties.

Abstract
As a key structural parameter, phase depicts the arrangement of atoms in materials. Normally, a nanomaterial exists in its thermodynamically stable crystal phase. With the development of nanotechnology, nanomaterials with unconventional crystal phases, which rarely exist in their bulk counterparts, or amorphous phase have been prepared using carefully controlled reaction conditions. Together these methods are beginning to enable phase engineering of nanomaterials (PEN), i.e., the synthesis of nanomaterials with unconventional phases and the transformation between different phases, to obtain desired properties and functions. This Review summarizes the research progress in the field of PEN. First, we present representative strategies for the direct synthesis of unconventional phases and modulation of phase transformation in diverse kinds of nanomaterials. We cover the synthesis of nanomaterials ranging from metal nanostructures such as Au, Ag, Cu, Pd, and Ru, and their alloys; metal oxides, borides, and carbides; to transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) and 2D layered materials. We review synthesis and growth methods ranging from wet-chemical reduction and seed-mediated epitaxial growth to chemical vapor deposition (CVD), high pressure phase transformation, and electron and ion-beam irradiation. After that, we summarize the significant influence of phase on the various properties of unconventional-phase nanomaterials. We also discuss the potential applications of the developed unconventional-phase nanomaterials in different areas including catalysis, electrochemical energy storage (batteries and supercapacitors), solar cells, optoelectronics, and sensing. Finally, we discuss existing challenges and future research directions in PEN.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts manifest nearly 100 % atom utilization efficiency, well-defined active sites, and high selectivity. However, their practical applications are hindered by a low atom loading density, uncontrollable location, and ambiguous interaction with the support, thereby posing challenges to maximizing their electrocatalytic performance. To address these limitations, the ability to arrange randomly dispersed single atoms into locally ordered single-atom catalysts (LO-SACs) substantially influences the electronic effect between reactive sites and the support, the synergistic interaction among neighboring single atoms, the bonding energy of intermediates with reactive sites and the complexity of the mechanism. As such, it dramatically promotes reaction kinetics, reduces the energy barrier of the reaction, improves the performance of the catalyst and simplifies the reaction mechanism. In this review, firstly, we introduce a variety of compelling characteristics of LO-SACs as electrocatalysts. Subsequently, the synthetic strategies, characterization methods and applications of LO-SACs in electrocatalysis are discussed. Finally, the future opportunities and challenges are elaborated to encourage further exploration in this rapidly evolving field.

Abstract
Metal sulfide ion exchange materials (MSIEs) are of interest for nuclear waste remediation applications. We report the high stability of two structurally related metal sulfide ion exchange materials, Na2xMg2y-xSn4-yS8 (Mg-NMS) and Na2SnS3 (Na-NMS), in strongly acid media, in addition to the preparation of Na2xNi2y-xSn4-yS8 (Ni-NMS). Their formation progress during synthesis is studied with in-situ methods, with the target phases appearing in <15 min, reaction completion in <12 h, and high yields (75-80%). Upon contact with nitric or hydrochloric acid, these materials topotactically exchange Na+ for H+, proceeding in a stepwise protonation pathway for Na5.33Sn2.67S8. Na-NMS is stable in 2 M HNO3 and Mg-NMS is stable in 4 M HNO3 for up to 4 h, while both NMS materials are stable in 6 M HCl for up to 4 days. However, the treatment of Mg-NMS and Na-NMS with 2-6 M H2SO4 reveals a much slower protonation process since after 4 h of contact both NMS and HMS are present in the solution. The resultant protonated materials, H2xMg2y-xSn4-yS8 and H4x[(HyNay-1)1.33xSn4--1.33x]S8, are themselves solid acids and readily react with and intercalate a variety of organic amines, where the band gap of the resultant adduct is influenced by amine choice and can be tuned within the range of 1.88(5)-2.27(5) eV. The work function energy values for all materials were extracted from photoemission yield spectroscopy in air (PYSA) measurements and range from 5.47 (2) to 5.76 (2) eV, and the relative band alignments of the materials are discussed. DFT calculations suggest that the electronic structure of Na2MgSn3S8 and H2MgSn3S8 makes them indirect gap semiconductors with multi-valley band edges, with carriers confined to the [MgSn3S8]2- layers. Light electron effective masses indicate high electron mobilities.

Abstract
Postsynthetic chemical transformation provides a powerful platform for creating heteronanostructures (HNs) with well-defined materials and interfaces that generate synergy or enhancement. However, it remains a synthetic bottleneck for the precise construction of HNs with increased degrees of complexity and more elaborate functions in a predictable manner. Herein, we define a general transformative protocol for metal phosphosulfide HNs based on tunable hexagonal Cu1.81S frameworks with corner-, edge- and face-controlled growth of Co2P domains. The region-controlled Cu1.81S-Co2P framework interfaces can serve as "kinetic barriers" in mediating the direction and rate between P and S anion exchange reactions, thus leading to a family of morphology and phase designed Cu3P1-xSx-Co2P HNs with hollow (branched, dotted and crown), porous and core-shell architectures. This study reveals the internal transformation mechanism between metal sulfide and phosphide nanocrystals, and opens up a new way for the rational synthesis of metastable HNs that are otherwise inaccessible.

Abstract
We developed a room-temperature and ultrafast Eu3+-ion doping approach for the synthesis of highly luminescent Eu-doped CaMoO4 nanoparticles. Firstly, CaMoO4 nanoparticles with a particle size of 3.9 nm are rapidly prepared using a room temperature co-precipitation approach. Subsequently, Eu-doped CaMoO4 nanoparticles with a photoluminescence quantum yield of up to 75% are synthesized by a post-cation exchange reaction at room temperature. This facile and room-temperature synthetic strategy enables us to prepare highly luminescent and extremely small rare earth ion-doped metal oxide nanocrystals.

Abstract
Ion exchange reactions of colloidal nanoparticles post-synthetically modify the composition while maintaining the morphology and crystal structure and therefore are important for tuning properties and producing otherwise inaccessible and/or metastable materials. Reactions involving anion exchange of metal chalcogenides are particularly interesting, as they involve the replacement of the sublattice that defines the structure while also requiring high temperatures that can be disruptive. Here, we show that the tellurium anion exchange of weissite Cu2-xSe nanoparticles using a trioctylphosphine-tellurium complex (TOP═Te) yields weissite Cu2-xSe1-yTey solid solutions, rather than complete exchange to weissite Cu2-xTe, with compositions that are tunable based on the amount of TOP═Te used. Upon storage at room temperature in either solvent or air, tellurium-rich Cu2-xSe1-yTey solid solution nanoparticles transform, over the span of several days, to a selenium-rich Cu2-xSe1-yTey composition. The tellurium that is expelled from the solid solution during this process migrates to the surface and forms a tellurium oxide shell, which correlates with the onset of particle agglomeration due to the change in surface chemistry. Collectively, this study demonstrates tunable composition during tellurium anion exchange of copper selenide nanoparticles along with unusual post-exchange reactivity that transforms the composition, surface chemistry, and colloidal dispersibility due to the apparent metastable nature of the solid solution product.

Abstract
Urea oxidation reaction (UOR), with a low thermodynamic potential, offers great promise for replacing anodic oxygen evolution reaction of electrolysis systems such as water splitting, carbon dioxide reduction, etc., thus reducing the overall energy consumption. To promote the sluggish kinetics of UOR, highly efficient electrocatalysts are required, and Ni-based materials have been widely investigated. However, most of these reported Ni-based catalysts suffer from large overpotentials, as they generally undergo self-oxidation to form NiOOH species at high potentials, which act as catalytically active sites for UOR. Herein, Ni-doped MnO2 (Ni-MnO2) nanosheet arrays were successfully prepared on nickel foam. The as-fabricated Ni-MnO2 shows distinct UOR behavior with most of the previously reported Ni-based catalysts, as urea oxidation on Ni-MnO2 proceeds before the formation of NiOOH. Notably, a low potential of 1.388 V vs reversible hydrogen electrode was required to achieve a high current density of 100 mA cm-2 on Ni-MnO2. It is suggested that both Ni doping and nanosheet array configuration are responsible for the high UOR activities on Ni-MnO2. The introduction of Ni modifies the electronic structure of Mn atoms, and more Mn3+ species are generated in Ni-MnO2, contributing to its outstanding UOR performance.

Abstract
Lead selenide (PbSe) colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) are promising candidates for optoelectronic applications. To date, PbSe CQDs capped by halide ligands exhibit improved stability and solar cells using these CQDs as active layers have reported a remarkable power conversion efficiency (PCE) up to 10%. However, PbSe CQDs are more prone to oxidation, requiring delicate control over their processability and compromising their applications. Herein, an efficient strategy that addresses this issue by an in situ cation-exchange process is reported. This is achieved by a two-phase ligand exchange process where PbI2 serves as both a passivating ligand and cation-source inducing transformation of CdSe to PbSe. The defect density and carrier lifetime of PbSe CQD films are improved to 1.05 × 1016 cm-3 and 12.2 ns, whereas the traditional PbSe CQD films possess 1.9 × 1016 cm-3 defect density and 10.2 ns carrier lifetime. These improvements are translated into an enhancement of photovoltaic performance of PbSe solar cells, with a PCE of up to 11.6%, ≈10% higher than the previous record. Notably, the approach enables greatly improved stability and a two-month stability is successfully demonstrated. This strategy is expected to promote the fast development of PbSe CQD applications in low-cost and high-performance optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
The critical role of transition metal dyshomeostasis in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology poses demands of in vivo imaging for brain copper levels. Nanostructured probes afford prolonged retention time, increased accumulation, and enhanced photostability; however, their development for activatable photoacoustic (PA) imaging remains largely unexplored. We develop a principle of concept for activable PA imaging using in situ cation exchange of ultrathin zinc selenide (ZnSe) nanoplatelets for monitoring brain copper levels in AD mice. We start from quantitative modeling of optical absorption, time-resolved temperature field, and thermal expansion of copper selenide (CuSe) nanocrystals of different morphologies and reveal that ultrathin nanoplatelets afford substantial enhancement of near-infrared (NIR) absorption and PA pressures as compared to nanodots and nanoparticles. By tethering with a blood-brain barrier (BBB)-targeting peptide ligand, the ultrathin ZnSe nanoplatelet probe efficiently transports across the BBB and rapidly exchanges with endogenous copper ions, boosting activatable PA imaging of brain copper levels. We also demonstrate that the efficient exchange of ZnSe nanoplatelets with copper ions can reduce oxidative stress of neurons and protect neuronal cells from apoptosis. The nanoplatelet probe provides a paradigm for activatable PA imaging of brain copper levels, highlighting its potential for pathophysiologic study of AD.

Abstract
Highly chemo- and regioselective semihydrogenation of alkynes is significant and challenging for the synthesis of functionalized alkenes. Here, a sequential self-template method is used to synthesize amorphous palladium sulfide nanocapsules (PdSx ANCs), which enables electrocatalytic semihydrogenation of terminal alkynes in H2O with excellent tolerance to easily reducible groups (e.g., C-I/Br/Cl, C═O) and the metal center deactivating skeletons (e.g., quinolyl, carboxyl, and nitrile). Mechanistic studies demonstrate that specific σ-alkynyl adsorption via terminal carbon and negligible alkene adsorption on isolated Pd2+ sites ensure successful synthesis of various alkenes with outstanding time-irrelevant selectivity in a wide potential range. The key hydrogen and carbon radical intermediates are validated by electron paramagnetic resonance and high-resolution mass spectrometry. Gram-scale synthesis of 4-bromostyrene and expedient preparation of deuterated alkene precursors and drugs with D2O show promising applications. Impressively, PdSx ANCs can be applied to the prevailing thermocatalytic semihydrogenation of functionalized alkyne using H2.

Abstract
Magic-size clusters (MSCs) are molecular materials with unique properties at the border between molecules and solids, providing important insights into the nanocrystal formation process. However, the synthesis of multicomponent alloy MSCs in a single-ensemble form remains challenging due to their tiny size and difficult doping control. Herein, for the first time, we successfully synthesized alloy ZnxCd13-xSe13 MSCs (x = 1-12) with a unique sharp absorption peak at 352 nm by cation exchange between Cd2+ ions and pre-synthesized (ZnSe)13 MSCs in a diamine solution at room temperature. The experimental results show that the use of diamines is crucial to the formation of stable ZnxCd13-xSe13 MSCs, which may be attributed to two amine groups that can coordinate to the surface of MSCs simultaneously. Limited by the robust interaction between diamine ligands and MSCs, the partial cation exchange results in the formation of alloy ZnxCd13-xSe13 MSCs. In contrast, complete cation exchange occurs in a monoamine solution, giving (CdSe)34 MSCs. Besides, a lower reaction temperature and a higher concentration of diamine favor the formation of ZnxCd13-xSe13 MSCs. Our study provides an important basis for further understanding of the transformation of MSCs and a new approach to the controllable synthesis of alloyed MSCs.

Abstract
As novel anodic materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), transitional metal selenites can transform into metal oxide/selenide heterostructures in the first cycle, which helps to enhance the Li+ storage performance, especially in terms of high discharge capacity. Herein, well-defined hierarchical CoSeO3‧2H2O nanoflowers assembled using 10 nm-thick nanosheets are successfully synthesized via a facile one-step hydrothermal method. When used as anodic materials for LIBs, the CoSeO3‧2H2O nanoflowers exhibit a considerably high discharge capacity of 1064.1 mAh g−1 at a current density of 0.1 A g−1. In addition, the obtained anode possesses good rate capability and cycling stability. Owing to the superior electrochemical properties, the CoSeO3‧2H2O nanoflowers would serve as promising anodic materials for high-performance LIBs.

Abstract
In search of heavy metal-free mid-IR active colloidal materials, self-doped silver selenide colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) can be an alternative offering tunable mid-IR wavelength with a narrow bandwidth. One of the challenges in the study of the intraband transition is developing a method to widen the intraband transition energy range as well as reducing the toxicity of the materials. Here, we present AgxSe (x > 2) CQDs exhibiting an intraband transition up to 0.39 eV, produced by the cation exchange (CE) method from PbSe CQDs. The major electronic transition efficiently changes from the SWIR band gap of PbSe CQDs to the mid-IR intraband transition of the AgxSe CQDs by the CE. The intraband exciton is verified by examining the absorption and emission of the CE AgxSe CQDs as well as their applications on electrochemical mid-IR luminescence and mid-IR intraband photodetectors.

Abstract
The development of high quality, non-toxic (i.e., heavy-metal-free), and functional quantum dots (QDs) via 'green' and scalable synthesis routes is critical for realizing truly sustainable QD-based solutions to diverse technological challenges. Herein, we demonstrate the low-temperature all-aqueous-phase synthesis of silver indium sulfide/zinc (AIS/Zn) QDs with a process initiated by the biomineralization of highly crystalline indium sulfide nanocrystals, and followed by the sequential staging of Ag+ cation exchange and Zn2+ addition directly within the biomineralization media without any intermediate product purification. Therein, we exploit solution phase cation concentration, the duration of incubation in the presence of In2S3 precursor nanocrystals, and the subsequent addition of Zn2+ as facile handles under biomineralization conditions for controlling QD composition, tuning optical properties, and improving the photoluminescence quantum yield of the AIS/Zn product. We demonstrate how engineering biomineralization for the synthesis of intrinsically hydrophilic and thus readily functionalizable AIS/Zn QDs with a quantum yield of 18% offers a 'green' and non-toxic materials platform for targeted bioimaging in sensitive cellular systems. Ultimately, the decoupling of synthetic steps helps unravel the complexities of ion exchange-based synthesis within the biomineralization platform, enabling its adaptation for the sustainable synthesis of 'green', compositionally diverse QDs.

Non-cadmium photo-luminescent I-III-VI ternary QDs have attracted increasing attention due to their low toxicity and extraordinary optical properties, which have made them popular in biological applications. Recently, ternary I-III-VI-QDs have gained growing interest as fluorescent detectors of heavy metal ions in water. Here, we review the research progress of ternary I-III-VI QDs for the fluorescence detection of heavy metal ions in water. First, we summarize the optical properties and synthesis methodologies of ternary I-III-VI QDs. Then, we present various detection mechanisms involved in the fluorescence detection of heavy metal ions, which are mostly attributed to direct interaction between these unique QDs and the metal ions, seen in the form of fluorescence quenching and fluorescence enhancement. We also display the potential applications in environmental remediation such as water treatment and associated challenges of I-III-VI QDs in the fluorescence detection of Cu2+ and other metal ions.

Abstract
Developing robust oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts with excellent performance is essential for the conversion of renewable electricity to clean fuel. Herein, we present a facile concept for the synthesis of efficient high-entropy metal-organic frameworks (HEMOFs) as electrocatalysts in a one-step solvothermal synthesis. This strategy allows control of the microstructure and corresponding lattice distortion by tuning the metal ion composition. As a result, the OER activity was improved by optimizing the coordination environment of the metal catalytic center. The optimized Co-rich HEMOFs exhibited a low overpotential of 310 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 , better than a RuO2 catalyst tested under the same conditions. The finding of lattice distortion of the HEMOFs provides a new strategy for developing high-performance electrocatalysts for energy conversion.

Abstract
Dual-mode luminescent nanomaterials have outstanding performance in biosensing and multistage anticounterfeiting. Herein, we report the tuning of optical attributes of lanthanide-doped nanoparticles (NPs) via simultaneous binary cation exchange. We show that cation exchange of NaYF4:Yb/Er (18/2 mol %)@NaLnF4 (Ln = Y and Gd) NPs with a combination of Ce3+ and Tb3+ enables the resultant nanoparticles to exhibit both upconversion and downshifting emissions upon excitation at 980 and 254 nm, respectively. We find that in addition to introducing downshifting emission attributes, the use of Tb3+ ions allows conservation of the integrity of the parent core@shell NPs by decreasing the dissociation tendency caused by Ce3+ ions during the cation exchange. The upconversion color output can be tuned from green to red and blue by changing lanthanide combinations in the core NPs. This work not only provides an effective strategy for the optical tuning of lanthanide-doped NPs but also builds a platform for probing the difference in the reactivity nature of lanthanides.

Abstract
Colloidal nanocrystals play a vital role in several applications. The doping of cations in the nanocrystal matrix enhances the optical, electrical, and magnetic properties. The number and well-defined distribution of the dopant are crucial to protect the nanocrystal from clustering. The XRD, XPS, and XAS instruments reveal the change in the lattice parameters, chemical states, and local coordination environment information. In addition of detecting the position and distribution of the dopant, the 4D-STEM detector mode gathers all types of real-space atomic-resolution images by collecting all diffraction datasets from each electron probe with high-speed and efficient detection. Dopant-host ligand type, reactions conditions, and reaction time optimization during synthesis are critical for the host and dopant reactivity balance. Pearson's hard/soft acids/bases theory would be a base for balancing the solubility of the dopant-host in the given solvents/surfactant. In addition, tuning the colloidal nanocrystals to secondary structures, which enhances the mass-/ions transport, can contribute a combination of properties that do not exist in the original constituents.

Abstract
Maneuvering the architecture and composition of semiconductors is essential to optimizing their performance in photocatalytic solar-to-fuel conversion. Here, we show that ion exchange, having a disparate mechanism with direct nucleation and growth of semiconductor crystals, can provide a new platform for rational control over the geometry and electronic structures of chalcogenide semiconductor photocatalysts. As a demonstration, the ZnSe nanocubes possessing a hollowed architecture and doped with a controllable amount of Ag+ ions are accessed via sequential ion exchange. The kinetics of the exchange reaction offers a knob for regulating the electronic structures of the Ag-doped ZnSe hollow cubes and, hence, their functions in light harvesting and photogenerated charge separation. Such synergistically geometric and optoelectronic modulation of ZnSe brings an order of magnitude enhancement in photocatalytic H2 evolution activity relative to commercial ZnSe powders. Our study corroborates that ion exchange may open up new horizons for judicious fabrication and engineering of semiconductor-based photocatalyst materials.

Abstract
Heteroatom doping is a promising strategy to optimize the electronic structure of transition metal phosphides so enhancing the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). However, complex and harsh experimental design is often required to achieve homogeneous doping of corresponding elements while achieving the best regulating effect. Herein, a facile ion-exchange (IE) strategy is applied to dope Mo/V species evenly into Ni-Co phosphides under mild conditions while maintaining the nanoneedle morphology. The electrochemical characterization verifies Mo dopants have a better electronic regulation effect on NiCoP crystal than V dopants, corresponding to the better hydrogen evolution performance of Mo-NiCoP/NF. Notably, due to the highly dispersed nanoneedle morphology, the synergistic effect of Ni-Co phosphides, and the optimized electronic structure, Mo-NiCoP/NF demonstrates a higher activity than that of the noble metal Pt/C at the high current density (>99 mA cm-2). The present work is supposed to open new sights for the development of high-performance catalysts by ion-exchange strategy.

Abstract
Kesterite Cu2ZnSnS4 (k-CZTS) nanocrystals have received attention for their tunable optoelectronic properties, as well as the earth abundance of their constituent atoms. However, the phase-pure synthesis of these quaternary NCs is challenging due to their polymorphism, as well as the undesired formation of related binary and ternary impurities. A general synthetic route to tackle this complexity is to pass through intermediate template nanocrystals that direct subsequent cation exchange toward the desired quaternary crystalline phase, particularly those that are thermodynamically disfavored or otherwise synthetically challenging. Here, working within this model multinary system, we achieve control over the formation of three binary copper sulfide polymorphs, cubic digenite (Cu1.8S), hexagonal covellite (CuS), and monoclinic djurleite (Cu1.94S). Controlled experiments with Cu0 seeds show that selected binary phases can be favored by the identity and stoichiometry of the sulfur precursor alone under otherwise comparable reaction conditions. We then demonstrate that the nature of the Cu2-xS template dictates the final polymorph of the CZTS nanocrystal products. Through digenite, the cation exchange reaction readily yields the k-CZTS phase due to its highly similar anion sublattice. Covellite nanocrystals template the k-CZTS phase but via major structural rearrangement to digenite that requires elevated temperatures in the absence of a strong reducing agent. In contrast, we show that independently synthesized djurleite nanorods template the formation of the wurtzite polymorph (w-CZTS) but with prominent stacking faults in the final product. Applying this refined understanding to the standard one-pot syntheses of k- and w-CZTS nanocrystals, we identify that these reactions are each effectively templated by binary intermediates formed in situ, harnessing their properties to guide the overall synthesis of phase-pure quaternary materials. Our results provide tools for the careful development of tailored nanocrystal syntheses in complex polymorphic systems.

Abstract
Establishing the hierarchical porous architectures has been considered to be the most efficient approach to realize the efficient mass diffusion and large exposed active sites of designed micro/nanomaterial catalysts for hydrogen evolution reactions (HER). In this work, the nonequivalent cation exchange strategy is developed to fabricate the hierarchically porous Ag/Ag2 S heterostructure based on the rapid cation exchange by the metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived CoS. The as-prepared Ag/Ag2 S inherits the original 3D hollow morphology of CoS with porous nature, possessing abundant S-vacancies and lattice strain simultaneously due to the coordination loss and in-situ epitaxial growth of metallic Ag on the surface. Owing to the optimizations of lattice and electronic structures, the unique hierarchically porous Ag/Ag2 S heterostructure exhibits superior catalytic performance than previously reported catalysts derived from MOF. Theoretical calculations have confirmed that the co-existence of Ag cluster and sulfur vacancies activates the electroactivity of the interfacial defective region to boost the HER process. The binding strength of the proton and energetic trend of HER has been optimized with the formation of Ag/Ag2 S heterostructure, which guarantees the efficient generation of H2 . This study opens a new strategy for the utilization of the nonequivalent cation exchange strategy to efficiently synthesize advanced electrocatalysts with high performances.

Abstract
Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) has recently emerged as a promising non-invasive imaging technique because of its signal linearly propotional to the tracer mass, ability to generate positive contrast, low tissue background, unlimited tissue penetration depth, and lack of ionizing radiation. The sensitivity and resolution of MPI are highly dependent on the properties of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), and extensive research efforts have been focused on the design and synthesis of tracers. This review examines parameters that dictate the performance of MNPs, including size, shape, composition, surface property, crystallinity, the surrounding environment, and aggregation state to provide guidance for engineering MPI tracers with better performance. Finally, we discuss applications of MPI imaging and its challenges and perspectives in clinical translation.

Abstract
Changes in the crystal system of an ionic nanocrystal during a cation exchange reaction are unusual yet remain to be systematically investigated. In this study, chemical synthesis and computational modeling demonstrated that the height of hexagonal-prism roxbyite (Cu1.8S) nanocrystals with a distorted hexagonal close-packed sulfide anion (S2-) sublattice determines the final crystal phase of the cation-exchanged products with Co2+ [wurtzite cobalt sulfide (CoS) with hexagonal close-packed S2- and/or cobalt pentlandite (Co9S8) with cubic close-packed S2-]. Thermodynamic instability of exposed planes drives reconstruction of anion frameworks under mild reaction conditions. Other incoming cations (Mn2+, Zn2+, and Ni2+) modulate crystal structure transformation during cation exchange reactions by various means, such as volume, thermodynamic stability, and coordination environment.

Abstract
Through a bottom-up strategy, CdS quantum dots (QDs) doped with 12 gold atoms in each nanocrystal (NC) were prepared by cation exchange reactions. The (Au12) dopants inside the CdS matrix were directly observed using Cs-corrected high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM) images and quantitatively confirmed using the inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) data. With a photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 37.5%, the as-prepared (Au12)@CdS QDs emitted light at 635 nm. Due to the injection of excited electrons from the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of dopants to the conduction band (CB) of CdS, multiple fine peaks were observed in the photoluminescence excitation (PLE) spectra. By using clusters as starting materials, we demonstrate a universal approach for the precise tailoring of dopants and provide a pathway for band energy engineering of doped QDs.

Abstract
Recombination centers generated from structural and interfacial defects in nanoheterostructures (NHs) prevent effective photo-induced charge transfer and have blocked the advance of many photoresponsive applications. Strategies to construct high-quality interfaces in NHs are emerging but are limited in the release of interfacial strain and the integrality of the sublattice. Herein, we synthesize single-particulate Cu1.94S-ZnS NHs with a continuous sublattice using a nanoscale cation exchange reaction (CE). Under near-infrared (NIR) radiation (λ = 1500 nm), femtosecond open-aperture (OA) Z-scan measurements are applied to investigate the nonlinear optical features of samples and verify the existence of plasma-induced charge transfer in the Cu1.94S-ZnS NHs system. The resulting charge transfer time (τ CT) of ∼0.091 picoseconds (ps) was confirmed by the femtosecond time-resolved pump-probe technique. Such an ultrafast charge transfer process has been rarely reported in semiconductor-semiconductor NHs. The results suggest that CE can be used as a promising tool to construct well-ordered interfacial structures, which are significant for the performance enhancement of NHs for photon utilization.

Abstract
Heterogenous nanomaterials containing various inorganic phases have far-reaching impacts both from the physical phenomena they reveal and the technologies they enable. While the variety and impact of these materials has been demonstrated in many reports, there is critical ambiguity in the factors that lead to major bifurcations in developing these heterostructures, for example, the formation of either mixed metal semiconductors or segregated metal-semiconductor phases. Here, we compare outcomes of independently introducing 5 different metal cations (Au3+, Ag+, Hg2+, Pd2+, and Pt2+) to antifluorite copper selenide (Cu2-xSe) nanoparticles (diameter = 52 ± 5 nm). This suite of metal cations allowed us to control for and evaluate a variety of potentially competing intrinsic system parameters including metal cation size, valency, and reduction potential as well as lattice volume change, lattice formation energy, and lattice mismatch. Upon secondary metal addition, we determined that the transformation of a cubic Cu2-xSe lattice will occur via cation exchange reaction when the change in symmetry to the resulting metal selenide phase(s) preserves mutually orthogonal lattice vectors. However, if the new lattice symmetry would be disrupted further, metal deposition is the likely outcome of secondary metal cation addition, forming metal-semiconductor heterostructures. These results suggest a synthesis design rule that relies on an intrinsic property of the material, not the reaction pathway, and indicates that more such factors may be found in other particle and synthetic systems.

Abstract
The metastable nature of metal chalcogenide nanomaterials (MCNs) provides us with fresh perspectives and plentiful grounds in the search of new strategies for physicochemical tuning. In the past decade, numerous efforts have been devoted to synthesizing and modifying diverse emerging MCNs based on their "soft chemistry", that is, gently regulating the composition, structure, phase, and interface while not entirely disrupting the original features. This tutorial review focuses on design principles based on the metastability of MCNs, such as ion mobility and vacancy, thermal and structural instability, chemical reactivity, and phase transition, together with corresponding soft chemical approaches, including ion-exchange, catalytic growth, segregation or coupling, template grafting or transformation, and crystal-phase engineering, and summarizes recent advances in their preparation and modification. Finally, prospects for the future development of soft chemistry-directed synthetic guidelines and metastable metal chalcogenide-derived nanomaterials are proposed and highlighted.

Abstract
Ion exchange is a predominant and flexible route to tailor the composition and crystal structure of various materials. In situ monitoring of the ion exchange process at the single-particle level is critical to better understand the reaction mechanism and engineer high-performance materials. We report herein a dark-field imaging approach to in situ investigate the anion exchange reactions between individual Cu2O microparticles and S2- or Cl- assisted by the hydrolysis of Sn4+, which are visualized by directly observing the color change of single Cu2O microparticles. The variation of the scattering intensity is applied for quantitative analysis of anion exchange kinetics, revealing that this reaction process is dependent on the morphology, size, environmental pH, and reactant concentration. We directly observe that the corners of Cu2O are the preferential exchange sites, and the reaction activity is surface dependent. Moreover, the reaction rate constant and diffusion coefficient are estimated to be 1.1 × 10-2 s-1 and 9.4 × 10-11 cm2/s. Furthermore, a single-particle colorimetric assay is also fabricated for visual detection of S2-.
