Binary halide, ternary perovskite-like, and perovskite-derivative nanostructures: hot injection synthesis and optical and photocatalytic properties.

A variety of crystalline colloid binary halide, ternary perovskite-like and ternary perovskite-derivative nanostructures with well-defined morphologies were synthesized, thus expanding materials chemistry to the new category of nanomaterials. The optical and photocatalytic properties of ternary nanostructures were investigated.
