Monitoring the shape evolution of Pd nanocubes to octahedra by PdS frame markers.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report the use of compounds formed on the surface of nanocrystals as markers to effectively monitor the shape evolution during nanocrystal growth. By labelling the corners and edges of cubic Pd seeds with PdS through sulfuration, we obtain clear insight into their shape transition to octahedra. This work significantly expands the scope of the marker technique for studying nanoparticle shape evolution.

Direct synthesis of size-tunable PbS nanocubes and octahedra and the pH effect on crystal shape control.
A one-pot synthesis for the growth of PbS nanocubes and octahedra has been developed by heating an aqueous mixture of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), thioacetamide (TAA), lead acetate, and nitric acid at 90 °C for 3 h. The method allows for direct large-scale production of small and uniform PbS nanocubes. The PbS cubes and octahedra exhibit different surface properties, as evidenced by z...
متن کاملDirect formation of small Cu2O nanocubes, octahedra, and octapods for efficient synthesis of triazoles.
In most studies describing the preparation of Cu2O crystals of various morphologies, the particle sizes are normally hundreds of nanometers to micrometers due to rapid particle growth, so they are not exactly nanocrystals. Here we report surfactant-free formation of sub-100 nm Cu2O nanocrystals with systematic shape evolution from cubic to octahedral structures by preparing an aqueous mixture o...
متن کاملStructural dependence of oxygen reduction reaction on palladium nanocrystals.
We have synthesized sub-10 nm Pd cubic and octahedral nanocrystals and then evaluated their activities towards oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). The ORR activity of Pd nanocubes was one order of magnitude higher than that of Pd octahedra, and comparable to that of the state-of-the-art Pt catalysts.

A facile synthetic method has been developed for the formation of Au-Pd core-shell nanocrystals in aqueous solution in just 0.5-2 h at 50 °C with systematic shape evolution from cubic to truncated cubic, cuboctahedral, truncated octahedral, and octahedral structures using octahedral gold cores. By adjusting the amounts of H2PdCl4, ascorbic acid, and sometimes surfactants and gold cores added, t...
متن کاملIn-Situ Studies of Thermal Stability of Core–Frame Cubic Pd–Rh Nanocrystals at Elevated Temperatures
Nanosize metallic particles have long been recognized as important heterogeneous catalytic materials. Recent studies show that the atomic characteristics of metallic nanoparticles, including particle size, shape and surface composition, are critical to catalytic activity and selectivity. It has been proven that the catalytic activities of noble metals are highly dependent on their surface struc...
