Hollow/porous nanoparticles, including nanocarriers, nanoshells, and mesoporous materials have applications in catalysis, photonics, biosensing, and delivery of theranostic agents. Using a hierarchical template synthesis scheme, we have synthesized a nanocarrier mimicking a golf ball, consisting of (i) solid silica core with a pitted gold surface and (ii) a hollow/porous gold shell without silica. The template consisted of 100 nm polystyrene beads attached to a larger silica core. Selective gold plating of the core followed by removal of the polystyrene beads produced a golf ball-like nanostructure with 100 nm pits. Dissolution of the silica core produced a hollow/porous golf ball-like nanostructure.
中空/多孔纳米颗粒,包括纳米载体、纳米壳和介孔材料,在催化、光子学、生物传感以及治疗诊断剂的递送方面都有应用。通过一种分级模板合成方案,我们合成了一种模仿高尔夫球的纳米载体,它由(i)表面有凹坑的固态二氧化硅核心和(ii)无二氧化硅的中空/多孔金壳组成。该模板由附着在较大二氧化硅核心上的100纳米聚苯乙烯珠子构成。对核心进行选择性镀金,然后去除聚苯乙烯珠子,产生了具有100纳米凹坑的高尔夫球状纳米结构。溶解二氧化硅核心则产生了中空/多孔的高尔夫球状纳米结构。
