IONIC NANOCRYSTALLINE MATERIALS WITH HIGH SURFACE CHARGE DENSITY AND COMPOSITES OF THE SAME

摘要

Materials, methods to prepare, and methods of use for ionic nanocrystalline inorganic materials and hybrid composites thereof are described herein. A preferred embodiment comprises native ligand stripping under equilibrium control, where reversible Lewis acid-base chemistry is used to generate adduct-stabilized surfaces during ligand stripping. Through a preferred embodiment, the generation of physisorbed anionic species that stabilize the nanocrystal surface until coordinating solvent is able to repassivate the surface.
