20. As a point of interest, following the authors introduction (21) of the JMAEK model into the current nanoparticle kinetics literature, (22) other workers (21, 23) have also applied it, lending direct support to the use of dispersive kinetic models for those applications. However, because nanocrystal formation, growth, and evolution have been observed experimentally to occur via various mechanisms (see, for example, ref 24), it is critical that the rate-limiting step be identified in each system. In cases where more than one mechanism might be rate-limiting, it is possible to combine various models to obtain adequate fits to the empirical data (qualitatively), but care must be taken so that is not done at the expense of the physical meaningfulness of the (excessive number of) rate parameters. For instance, in a recent work, (25) the author combined both classical solid-state and dispersive kinetic rate equations to put forth a new model that was able to describe the complex profiles of a solid-state conversion that could be either reaction rate-limited or phase transformation rate-limited, or both, depending on the conditions of temperature and humidity investigated. Because the dispersive kinetic models presented in this work, eqs 10 and 18, describe only elementary nucleation and denucleation rate-limited processes, respectively, yet it is known that potential rate-limiting processes involved in nanocrystal formation might also include the aggregation and/or coalescence of smaller particles as well as the longer-term coarsening (Ostwald ripening) of larger particles, the addition of an extra mechanistic step might be warranted in certain cases. The outcome of doing so might be a three-parameter, two-step kinetic model, provided that one of the mechanistic steps is classical and the other is dispersive.

61. In dealing with metallic nanocrystal formation kinetics, whereby the aggregation/coalescence of smaller subunits might be rate-limiting in the formation of clusters larger than the initially formed primary particles, as in the presence of a strong reducing agent, (62) Derjaguin-Laundau-Verwey-Overbeek (DLVO) theory (63, 64) might provide a useful potential.

66. The sign of F in eq 25 is consistent with that pertaining to the attractive force of gravity, whereby a gravitational field is typically assigned a negative potential.

71. Another reason that the author is interested specifically in shell particles stems from the fact that the key source of the t -dependent driving force for nucleation likely originates from the continuously evolving surface potential, as related by eqs 24 and 25.
