The work developed during this PhD has embraced several topics that I divide in three blocks. Each block contains two chapters in this dissertation. Additionally, a general introduction of the different topics is provided (Chapter 1). The first block corresponds to the study of colloidal synthetic routes to produce functional nanoparticles (Chapter 2 and 3). In the second block the developed nanoparticles are used to produce bulk nanostructured materials. The functional properties of the nanomaterials are also characterized in this second block. As the paradigmatic application for such bottom-up assembled nanostructured materials I considered thermoelectricity (Chapter 4 and 5). In the last block, I go one step beyond and design and prepare multiphase nanoparticles as building blocks for the bottom up production of nanocomposites with improved thermoelectric performance (Chapter 6 and 7).
