Pulsed axial epitaxy of colloidal quantum dots in nanowires enables facet-selective passivation

The precise control over nanoscale structures is crucial in developing new, functional nanomaterials. Here, authors demonstrate a controllable method to epitaxially stack CdS quantum dots into ZnS nanowires and show improved photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activities.
