Best Practices in Nanocrystal Synthesis and Characterization
The tutorial outlines best practices for colloidal nanocrystal synthesis, surface chemistry, ex situ and in situ characterization to improve reproducibility. It stresses explicit stoichiometries, detailed experimental sections, and rigorous reporting of hidden variables such as heating rates, reagent purity, and atmosphere. It also discusses advanced real‑time probes and the future role of AI, automation, and open data in accelerating discovery.
