Journal ArticleDOI

Facile Synthesis of Palladium-Based Nanocrystals with Different Crystal Phases and a Comparison of Their Catalytic Properties

TL;DR: In this article, a method was proposed for the facile synthesis of Ru@Pd core-shell nanocrystals featuring polymorphism, with the core made of hexagonally close-packed (hcp)-Ru while the Pd shell taking either an hcp or face-centered cubic (fcc) phase.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dimerization of Colloidal Particles through Controlled Aggregation for Enhanced Properties and Applications.

TL;DR: How colloidal stability can be strategically manipulated to induce dimerization, together with effective purification steps to further improve yields is discussed, ideal for application in surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of surface capping on the diffusion of adatoms in the synthesis of Pd@Au core–shell nanocrystals

TL;DR: New insights are offered into the roles played by surface capping in controlling the pattern of growth involving Pd cubic seeds and a HAuCl4 precursor and the final products can take different surface structures depending on the presence or absence of surface capped.
Journal ArticleDOI

Shape-controlled synthesis of CO-free Pd nanocrystals with the use of formic acid as a reducing agent

TL;DR: The use of formic acid as a reducing agent for the shape-controlled synthesis of Pd nanocrystals with no chemisorption of CO on the surface is reported, as confirmed by attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FT-IR) spectroscopy.
