The contributors to this volume are all distinguished alumni of the University of Science and Technology of Beijing (USTC) who are currently based in the United States. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of UTSC, they have put together a volume on chemical and engineering aspects of nanoscale functional materials. Part I focuses on the synthesis and manipulation of varied nanostructured materials, for the purpose of eventual rational design of functional nanomaterials with specific functionalities. Part II covers the unique electron transfer/transport properties of nanostructured materials and their implication in nanoelectronics and molecular electronics. Part III reviews recent progress in the applications of functional nanomaterials in energy science and engineering (solar cells and fuel cells). Part IV surveys the applications of nanomaterials in biological labeling, biomedical imaging, and sensing and detection in biomolecules. Features contributions from both established figures and rising stars in the United States - all of them proud alumni of USTC INDICE: From the contents Shape-Controlled Synthesis of Palladium Nanostructures.- Synthesis and Optical Properties of Anisotropic Silver Nanocrystals.-Chemical Transformation of Colloidal Nanocrystals.- Gold Nanoparticles with Controlled Chemical Functional Groups.- Synthesis of Colloidal Group II-VI Semiconductor Nanocrystals.- One-Dimensional Semiconductor Nanostructures for High-Performance, Flexible Electronics and Sensors.- Rational Synthesis and Characterization of InAs Nanowires.- Electronic Properties and Applications of Ultra-High Density Silicon Nanowire Arrays.- Molecular Junctions Based on Self-Assembly Monolayers.- Scanning Force Microscopy.- Nanowire Solar Cells.- Theoretical Study of Photoinduced Electron Transfer Reactions in Dye-Semiconductor Nanosystems.- Zeolite Thin Films.- Metal Nanoparticles as Anode Electrocatalysts for Direct Liquid Fuel Cells.- Designing Functional Hybrid Nanomaterials by Combining Molecular Chemistry with Nanotechnology.
