Real-space image of charged patches in tunable-size nanocrystals

The remarkable dual nature of faceted-charge patchy metal fluoride nanocrystals arises from the spontaneous selective coordination of anionic and cationic ligands on the different facets of the nanocrystals. In previous studies, the identification and origin of the charge at the patches were obtaine...
