Abstract Atomically flat colloidal nanoplatelets with strong one-dimensional confinement represent the most recently discovered type of quantum-confined cadmium chalcogenide nanocrystals. In almost a decade a great progress has been achieved in the colloidal synthesis of nanoplatelets and understanding of their basic optical and electronic properties. However, up until recently methods of their controlled spatial orientation were quite scarce, what in turn hindered obtaining reliable information on their anisotropic structural and optical properties arising from their shape. In this paper we provide a mini-review of recent advances in this field of study.

Using a combination of first principles and semiempirical calculation, we explore the structural, electronic, and optical properties of a wide range of perovskite (ABX3) nanoparticle of different size and composition. The variations of the BX3 backbone structure considered include all possible combinations of the cations B=Pb,Sn and the anions X=Cl,Br,I, while the interstitial cation A is either methylamonium (MA), or formamidinium (FA), or guanidine amine (GA), or dimethylamine (DEA). Our results indicate that the orientational disorder of the A moieties may affect the structural and electronic properties of the NPs while the optical properties exhibit a clear dependence on the NPs’ size and the types of B cations and X anions, but they are quite insensitive to the type of A cation.

Using first-principles method, we studied systematically the structural and electronic properties of ZB/WZ superlattices of ZnSe. The band offsets are calculated by Heyd–Scuseria–Ernzerhof (HSE) hybrid functional which can give a good prediction on the relative band positions. The band alignment at ZB/WZ interface is found to be type-II with holes localized in wurtzite region and electrons in zinc-blende region, which is suitable for optoelectronic and solar energy conversion. The origin of type-II character and the carrier localization are investigated in detail.

First-principle calculations based on the density functional theory (DFT) are implemented to study the structural and electronic properties of the SiS2/WSe2 hetero-bilayers. It is found that the AB-2 stacking model is most stable among all the six SiS2/WSe2 heterostructures considered in this work. The AB-2 stacking SiS2/WSe2 hetero-bilayer possesses a type-II band alignment with a narrow indirect band gap (0.154 eV and 0.738 eV obtained by GGA-PBE and HSE06, respectively), which can effectively separate the photogenerated electron–hole pairs and prevent the recombination of the electron–hole pairs. Our results revealed that the band gap can be tuned effectively within the range of elastic deformation (biaxial strain range from −7% to 7%) while maintaining the type-II band alignment. Furthermore, due to the effective regulation of interlayer charge transfer, the band gap along with the band offset of the SiS2/WSe2 heterostructure can also be modulated effectively by applying a vertical external electric field. Our results offer interesting alternatives for the engineering of two-dimensional material-based optoelectronic nanodevices.

We report the synthesis of colloidal γ-Fe2O3/Cu2O hetero-nanocrystals (HNCs) using a solution-phase seeded-growth approach. The structural and electronic properties of these materials are investigated by HRTEM and photoelectron spectroscopy. A type II band alignment was found between the p-Cu2O and n-Fe2O3 domains making the particles potentially attractive candidates for applications in solar energy conversion.
