Published: Jan. 1, 2025

Nano-/microrobots have been demonstrated as an efficient solution for environmental remediation. Their strength lies in their propulsion abilities that allow active “on-the-fly” operation, such pollutant detection, capture, transport, degradation, and disruption. Another advantage is versatility, which allows the engineering of highly functional solutions a specific application. However, latter can bring complexity to applications; versatility dimensionality, morphology, materials, surface decorations, other modifications has crucial effect on resulting abilities, compatibility with environment, overall functionality. Synergy between decorations its projection functionality object nanoarchitectonics. Here, we scrutinize nano-/microrobots eyes nanoarchitectonics: list general concepts help assess synergy limitations individual procedures fabrication processes operation at macroscale.

Localized surface plasmon resonances of nanostructured metals and Mie submicron-structured semiconductors couple with electromagnetic waves, producing extreme light concentration. These phenomena have led to the development plasmonics Mie-tronics, volume quality fundamental research, novel techniques, applications in these fields is increasing. Thanks technological progress, localized can be imaged high spatial (>0.05 nm), energetic meV), temporal (0.2 fs) resolutions using three modalities: cathodoluminescence (CL), electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS), scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM). In addition, resonances, which occur larger-sized dielectric materials low electric conductivity (i.e., semiconductors), a far-field confocal spectromicroscopy. Although there been various landmark resonance imaging results based on both spectromicroscopy so far, perspectives focused exclusively one topic or other. Moreover, Mie-tronics rapidly expanding field, but are no published reviews scattering/resonance mapping experiments. A combined overview mutually relevant spectroscopic should provide important insights. Furthermore, direct comparisons between studies valuable from viewpoints physical chemistry science. Herein, representative state-of-the-art obtained four modalities─CL, EELS, SNOM, spectromicroscopy─are described, advantages disadvantages each, together future perspectives, discussed.

Most quantum dots (QDs) contain either toxic elements, which are health and environmental hazards, or costly precious metals. In contrast, as nanocrystals consisting mainly of an earth‐abundant, light element, silicon QDs (SiQDs) have attracted attention cost‐effective biomedical, display, solid‐state lighting materials. However, unlike heavy‐metal perovskite QDs, SiQDs not yet been used to create high‐performance optoelectronics long‐lifetime light‐emitting diodes (LEDs).
