Silver Tip Formation on Colloidal CdSe Nanorods by a Facile Phase Transfer Protocol
نویسندگان
چکیده
A facile phase transfer procedure is described for the formation of uniform silver metal tips on II–VI semiconductor nanorods. Judicious choice of a functional ligand dimethyl phenol (DMP) which binds to the semiconductor rod in the organic phase enables the transfer of metal ions from the aqueous phase and their reduction onto the nanorod. The nanorod hybrids can be assembled into perpendicularly aligned arrays by simple solvent evaporation.

Manipulating Nonlinear Emission and Cooperative Effect of CdSe/ZnS Quantum Dots by Coupling to a Silver Nanorod Complex Cavity
Colloidal semiconductor quantum dots have three-dimensional confined excitons with large optical oscillator strength and gain. The surface plasmons of metallic nanostructures offer an efficient tool to enhance exciton-exciton coupling and excitation energy transfer at appropriate geometric arrangement. Here, we report plasmon-mediated cooperative emissions of approximately one monolayer of ense...

Single-crystalline rutile nanorods were synthesized by a facile acid treatment on titanate nanotubes. These rutile nanorods could be highly dispersed in water to form a stable colloidal solution. Cu(2+) ions were grafted onto these rutile nanorods, and the Cu(2+)-grafted nanorods could absorb visible light by the interfacial charge transfer between the valence band of rutile TiO(2) and surface-...

In the present work, we focused on geometrical (single- or double-tipped) and compositional (Pt or Au) variations of active metal components in a well-defined CdSe nanorod system. These colloidal nanostructures were employed for photocatalytic hydrogen generation from water under the identical reaction conditions with visible light irradiation. The catalysts exhibited significant dependency of ...

Hybrid colloids (HCs) have shown distinct optical, electric, and optoelectronic properties from the components, mainly because of electronic interplay between the components. Here we investigate different charge transfer behaviors of dumbbell-structured CdSe-seeded CdS nanorods with metallic and semiconducting tip materials respectively studied by UV-vis and photoluminescence (PL) spectra, i.e....
