报告摘要：
Nanocrystals (NCs) exhibit a wide range of unique properties that depend sensitively on their size and shape. In this talk, firstly, I will elaborate several general and robust strategies for crafting a rich variety of functional 0D, 1D, and shish-kebab polymer-ligated NCs with precisely controlled dimensions, compositions, architectures, and surface chemistry by capitalizing on a set of judiciously designed unimolecular star-like, bottlebrush-like, and worm-like block copolymers, respectively, as nanoreactors. These strategies are effective and able to produce oil-soluble, water-soluble, and stimuli-responsive, monodisperse, polymer-ligated NCs, including metallic, ferroelectric, magnetic, luminescent, semiconductor, perovskite, and their core/shell and hollow architectures. Subsequently, the size-, shape-, architecture- and surface chemistry-dependent properties of these polymer-ligated NCs will be scrutinized. Moreover, the utilities of these functional NCs in energy conversion and storage (e.g., perovskite solar cells, LEDs, batteries, electrocatalysis) as well as self-assembly will be discussed. Finally, an outlook for future research in this area will be presented.
