چکیده

A new gold nanostructure--shield-like Au nanoparticles (NPs) with a single twin plane and high-index {hhl} facets--was discovered in a simple seed-mediated synthesis. The development of this new shape is believed to be due to the preferential adsorption of cetyltrimethylammonium cations (CTA(+)) on high-index facets and the coalescence of the NPs by the charge screening effect of NaCl. These shield-like Au NPs display some properties that are distinctively different from other types of Au NPs.

Nucleation-mediated synthesis and enhanced catalytic properties of Au-Pd bimetallic tripods and bipyramids with twinned structures and high-energy facets.

The Au-Pd alloy has been proved to be an excellent catalyst in many applications, such as the electro-oxidation of formic acid, CO oxidation and oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes. However, most of the research has been focused on the shape-controlled Au-Pd alloy NCs with a single-crystal structure. Due to the existence of high-energy atoms on the twin defects, twinned structures usually will f...

Facile synthesis of concave decahedra enclosed by high-index facets and truncated decahedra with a large size.

Nanostructures with concave surfaces are not common, and their synthesis is still challenging. In this paper, we have successfully synthesized two kinds of five-fold-twinned Au decahedra and dodecagonal plates by changing the reaction conditions. 40 high-index {221} facets were observed in the concave decahedron. The truncated decahedral gold nanocrystals (NCs) with a large size of 250-350 nm w...

Preparation of TiO2-supported twinned gold nanoparticles by CO treatment and their CO oxidation activity.

We found that twinned gold nanoparticles (T-AuNPs) are generated at a high probability by CO treatment of TiO2-supported Au(iii) at room temperature. Because of the formation of T-AuNPs, the Au/TiO2 prepared by the CO treatment showed higher catalytic activity for CO oxidation than Au/TiO2 prepared by conventional H2 treatment.

Dodecahedral Au@Pd nanocrystals with high-index facets and excellent electrocatalytic activity and highly efficient surface-enhanced Raman scattering enhancement.

We synthesize the three-fold symmetric shield-like Au@Pd core-shell nanocrystals, enclosed predominantly by high-index {541} facets with kinks, through the simultaneous reduction of Au and Pd ions in the presence of triangular Au nanocrystal seeds in aqueous solution at room-temperature. The obtained shield-like Au@Pd core-shell nanocrystals exhibit superior electrocatalytic activity for the ox...

This study reports a green approach to synthesis of monometallic platinum nanoparticles (Pt NPs) and bimetallic aurium@platinum nanoparticles (Au@Pt) using aqueous leaf extract of Carica papaya as a reducing and stabilizing agent. The nature and morphology of as-synthesized PtNPs and bimetallic Au@Pt NPs were characterized using UV/vis spectroscopy (UV–vis), high resolution transmission electro...
