Oleic Acid Binding and Exchange Dynamics on NaYF4 Nanocrystals

Abstract Lanthanide-doped NaYF4 nanocrystals (NCs) are widely used for their exceptional photoluminescence properties. Their performance and processability are critically dependent on surface-bound ligands such as oleic acid. While these ligands stabilize NCs during synthesis and...
