The shape of Pd nanocrystals (NCs) can be controlled by combination of oleylamine (OAm) and alkylammonium alkylcarbamate (AAAC), and Pd spheres, tetrahedra and multipods have been synthesized. The multipods and tetrahedra are much more active than the spheres for hydrogenation reactions.

Knowledge of the structure-property relationships of functional nanomaterials, including, for example, their size- and composition-dependent photoluminescence (PL) and particle-to-particle variations, is crucial for their design and reproducibility. Herein, the Angstrom-resolution capability of an analytical ultracentrifuge combined with an in-line multiwavelength emission detection system (MWE-AUC) for measuring the sedimentation coefficient-resolved spectrally corrected PL spectra of dispersed nanoparticles is demonstrated. The capabilities of this technique are shown for giant-shell CdSe/CdS quantum dots (g-QDs) with a PL quantum yield (PL QY) close to unity capped with oleic acid and oleylamine ligands.

Article Synopsis
- CuZnSnS (CZTS) is a non-toxic semiconductor ideal for solar energy and catalysis applications, synthesized here using a cost-effective method involving copper and zinc acetates with tin chloride and sulfur.
- The synthesis involved a hot-injection technique that influenced the size and structure of CZTS nanoparticles, with further purification carried out using HCl to eliminate harmful phases.
- Various analytical techniques, including Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction, confirmed that HCl effectively removed impurities while maintaining the integrity of the nanoparticles.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates a new protein, rEnd2, from a bacteriophage that targets and degrades the protective outer layer of bacteria, particularly focusing on its interaction with the antibiotic colistin and its effectiveness when paired with nanoparticles.
- - The purification and analysis of rEnd2 showed it works best in neutral pH and warm temperatures, with a structural similarity to other known antibacterial proteins, but it loses effectiveness in the presence of certain surfactants.
- - Despite demonstrating some ability to break down bacterial structure, rEnd2 was not effective enough on its own or even when combined with colistin, indicating the need for further research to improve its antimicrobial capabilities.
