Abstract
In this study, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) was introduced into an Ag deposition-based electrochromic (EC) device as a capping agent for electrodeposited Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) to improve the coloration characteristics of EC devices and to precisely control the size and shape of the AgNPs. Through the coordination of PVP molecules with Ag+ ions in the EC electrolyte, the critical voltage for the deposition of AgNPs decreased, resulting in a lower operating voltage of the EC device in comparison with the conventional one. Because particle growth and AgNP aggregation were suppressed by the capping effect of PVP, uniform electrodeposition of AgNPs was achieved. Aggregation suppression enabled vivid cyan, yellow, and red coloration using a simple driving procedure. The suppression of AgNP aggregation by PVP was demonstrated even in an electrochemical system. Furthermore, the capping effect of PVP also improved image retention. Better color retention properties were achieved even without the use of any counter-modified electrode cells.

Abstract
Colloidal plexcitonic materials (CPMs) are a class of nanosystems where molecular dyes are strongly coupled with colloidal plasmonic nanoparticles, acting as nanocavities that enhance the light field. As a result of this strong coupling, new hybrid states are formed, called plexcitons, belonging to the broader family of polaritons. With respect to other families of polaritonic materials, CPMs are cheap and easy to prepare through wet chemistry methodologies. Still, clear structure-to-properties relationships are not available, and precise rules to drive the materials' design to obtain the desired optical properties are still missing. To fill this gap, in this article, we prepared a dataset with all CPMs reported in the literature, rationalizing their design by focusing on their three main relevant components (the plasmonic nanoparticles, the molecular dyes, and the capping layers) and identifying the most used and efficient combinations. With the help of statistical analysis, we also found valuable correlations between structure, coupling regime, and optical properties. The results of this analysis are expected to be relevant for the rational design of new CPMs with controllable and predictable photophysical properties to be exploited in a vast range of technological fields.

Abstract
Nanomaterials have supported important technological advances due to their unique properties and their applicability in various fields, such as biomedicine, catalysis, environment, energy, and electronics. This has triggered a tremendous increase in their demand. In turn, materials scientists have sought facile methods to produce nanomaterials of desired features, i.e., morphology, composition, colloidal stability, and surface chemistry, as these determine the targeted application. The advent of photoprocesses has enabled the easy, fast, scalable, and cost- and energy-effective production of metallic nanoparticles of controlled properties without the use of harmful reagents or sophisticated equipment. Herein, we overview the synthesis of gold and silver nanoparticles via photochemical routes. We extensively discuss the effect of varying the experimental parameters, such as the pH, exposure time, and source of irradiation, the use or not of reductants and surfactants, reagents' nature and concentration, on the outcomes of these noble nanoparticles, namely, their size, shape, and colloidal stability. The hypothetical mechanisms that govern these green processes are discussed whenever available. Finally, we mention their applications and insights for future developments.
