Despite remarkable progress, colloidal synthesis of metal nanocrystal is still far away from reaching the goal for robust, reproducible, and scalable production. Even with the adoption of seed-mediated growth, the synthesis can still be complicated by issues such as self-nucleation, galvanic replacement, stochastic symmetry reduction, and unwanted compositional variation. All these issues can be addressed by switching to steady-state synthesis characterized by a slow, constant, and tightly controlled reduction rate. Steady-state synthesis can be achieved by adding one reactant dropwise while using the other reactant in large excess, but this method is not suitable for scale-up production in a continuous flow reactor. There is a pressing need to develop alternative methods capable of establishing the steady-state kinetics characteristic of dropwise addition while introducing both reactants by one-shot injection. In this Perspective, we discuss a number of methods that allow for both one-shot injection and steady-state synthesis.more » « less

null (Ed.)Steady-state modeling plays an important role in the design of advanced power converters. Typically, steady-state modeling is completed by time-stepping simulators, which may be slow to converge to steady-state, or by dedicated analysis, which is time-consuming to develop across multiple topologies. Discrete time state-space modeling is a uniform approach to rapidly simulate arbitrary power converter designs. However, the approach requires modification to capture state-dependent switching, such as diode switching or current programmed modulation. This work provides a framework to identify and correct state-dependent switching within discrete time state-space modeling and shows the utility of the proposed method within the power converter design process.more » « less
