The talk describes the synthesis of quantum dots using continuous flow
technique allowing a degree of reproducibility, which is tremendously better
than in conventional batch synthesis. We report on self-assembly processes
leading to complex structures with a high degree of functionality. Examples
are the attachment of quantum dots to carbon nanotubes, oriented attachment of
nanocrystals into nanowires and. These structures can be used as
photodetectors or for electrocatalysis. The talk also describes recent developments in the synthesis of biocompatibel nanoparticles. This includes a ligand design allowing self-assembly of multifunctional beads for molecular imaging. |
