Quantum Dots: Fundamentals, Synthesis and Applications compiles key information, along with practical guidance on quantum dot synthesis and applications. Beginning with an introduction, Part One highlights such foundational knowledge as growth mechanisms, shape and composition, electrochemical properties, and production scale-up for quantum dots. Part Two goes on to provide practical guides to key chemical, physical and biological methods for the synthesis of quantum dots, with Part Three reviewing the application of quantum dots and a range of important use cases, including photocatalysis, energy cells and medical imaging. Drawing on the knowledge of its expert authors, this comprehensive book provides practical guidance for all those who already study, develop or use quantum dots in their work.

Photochemistry and Photophysics of Coordination Compounds: Fundamentals and Applications provides a systematic overview of the photochemical and photophysical properties of coordination compounds with different metal cores. Beginning with a clear introduction to the fundamentals of both photochemistry and coordination chemistry, the book goes on to outline the photochemical and photophysical properties of a large range of coordination compounds, clustering metal cores together in chapters according to their period table group, ranging across Transition metals, Lanthanides and Actinides. In addition to outlining their properties, each chapter discusses the synthesis, current applications and future potential of coordination compounds in each group. Drawing on the experience of a global team of experts, this book is an authoritative guide for all those interested in understanding and harnessing the photochemical properties and potential applications of coordination complexes for their own work.
