We show that embedding of a surface ligand can dramatically affect the metal-metal interfacial energy, making it possible to create nanostructures in defiance of traditional wisdom. Despite matching Au-Ag lattices, Au-Ag hybrid NPs can be continuously tuned from concentric core-shell, eccentric core-shell, acorn, to dimer structures. This method can be extended to tune even Au-Au and Ag-Ag interfaces.
我们表明,表面配体的嵌入可以显著影响金属-金属界面能,从而有可能创造出违背传统智慧的纳米结构。尽管 Au-Ag 晶格匹配,但 Au-Ag 杂化 NPs 可以连续调谐为同心核壳、偏心核壳、橡果和二聚体结构。该方法可以扩展到调谐甚至 Au-Au 和 Ag-Ag 界面。
