Two-Dimensional Metal Nanomaterials: Synthesis, Properties, and Applications
TL;DR: The general synthetic strategies applied to 2D metal nanomaterials are briefly introduced, followed by describing in detail the various synthetic methods classified in two categories, i.e. bottom-up methods and top-down methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shape-Controlled Synthesis of Single-Crystalline Palladium Nanocrystals
Wenxin Niu,Ling Zhang,Guobao Xu +2 more
TL;DR: A versatile method for selectively synthesizing single-crystalline rhombic dodecahedral, cubic, and octahedral palladium nanocrystals, as well as their derivatives with varying degrees of edge- and corner-truncation, was reported for the first time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selective synthesis of single-crystalline rhombic dodecahedral, octahedral, and cubic gold nanocrystals.
Wenxin Niu,Shanliang Zheng,Dawei Wang,Xiaoqing Liu,Haijuan Li,Shuang Han,Jiuan Chen,Zhiyong Tang,Guobao Xu +8 more
TL;DR: A versatile seed-mediated growth method for selectively synthesizing single-crystalline rhombic dodecahedral, octahedral, and cubic gold nanocrystals and the cooperative work of cetylpyridinium and bromide ions can stabilize the gold facet under the growth condition in this study, thereby leading to the formation of cubic gold Nanocrystals.
