Structure and morphology of shape-controlled Pd nanocrystals
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pd nanocrystals were produced with uniform truncated-cube shape and a narrow size distribution, yielding controlled surface area fractions from low Miller index ({100}, {110}, {111}) crystalline facets. Details on the structure and morphology of the nanocrystals were obtained by combining X-ray powder diffraction line profile analysis, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and surface electrochemistry based on Cu underpotential deposition.

Shaping binary metal nanocrystals through epitaxial seeded growth.
Morphological control of nanocrystals has become increasingly important, as many of their physical and chemical properties are highly shape dependent. Nanocrystal shape control for both single- and multiple-material systems, however, remains empirical and challenging. New methods need to be explored for the rational synthetic design of heterostructures with controlled morphology. Overgrowth of ...
متن کاملShape-Controlled Synthesis of Pd Nanocrystals in Aqueous Solutions
This article provides an overview of recent developments regarding synthesis of Pd nanocrystals with well-controlled shapes in aqueous solutions. In a solution-phase synthesis, the final shape taken by a nanocrystal is determined by the twin structures of seeds and the growth rates of different crystallographic facets. Here, the maneuvering of these factors in an aqueous system to achieve shape...
متن کاملSeed-mediated growth of palladium nanocrystals: the effect of pseudo-halide thiocyanate ions.
In synthesis in a solution phase, adsorbates such as halides can interact selectively with different metal crystal facets and affect the final morphology of nanocrystals. Pseudo-halide thiocyanate ions (SCN-) can also adsorb on the metal surface, but they have never been used for the synthesis of shape-controlled colloidal metal nanocrystals. In this study, we first investigated the effect of S...

Noble-metal nanocrystals have attracted increasing attention owing to their potential use in catalysis, electronics, and biology. The physicochemical properties of these nanocrystals are highly sensitive to their shape and size. For example, the number, location, and intensity of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) bands of Au and Ag nanocrystals display a strong correlation with the shape of the p...
