One key goal of nanocrystal research is the development of experimental methods to selectively control the composition and shape of nanocrystals over a wide range of material combinations. The ability to selectively arrange nanosized domains of metallic, semiconducting, and magnetic materials into a single hybrid nanoparticle offers an intriguing route to engineer nanomaterials with multiple functionalities or the enhanced properties of one domain. In this Review, we focus on recent strategies used to create semiconductor-metal hybrid nanoparticles, present the emergent properties of these multicomponent materials, and discuss their potential applicability in different technologies.
纳米晶体研究的一个关键目标是开发实验方法，以便在广泛的材料组合范围内选择性地控制纳米晶体的组成和形状。能够将金属、半导体和磁性材料的纳米尺寸畴选择性地排列到单个混合纳米粒子中，为工程具有多种功能或一个畴增强性能的纳米材料提供了一条很有吸引力的途径。在这篇综述中，我们重点介绍了最近用于制造半导体-金属混合纳米粒子的策略，介绍了这些多组分材料的新兴性质，并讨论了它们在不同技术中的潜在适用性。
