Abstract
nanorods by sequentially incorporating Sn and Zn. Real-time SAXS and ex situ TEM of aliquots corroborate these findings. Our work demonstrates how combined in situ X-ray absorption and small-angle X-ray scattering enables the understanding of mechanistic pathways in colloidal nanocrystal formation.
