PatentDOI
Polymer hollow particles with controllable holes in their surfaces
TL;DR: The preparation of another class of macroporous capsules—polymer shells with controllable holes in their surfaces that can be closed by means of thermal annealing or solvent treatment is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seed-Mediated Growth of Colloidal Metal Nanocrystals.
TL;DR: This Review demonstrates how the diversity of metal nanocrystals can be expanded with endless opportunities by using seeds with well-defined and controllable internal structures in conjunction with a proper combination of capping agent and reduction kinetics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis and Characterization of 9 nm Pt–Ni Octahedra with a Record High Activity of 3.3 A/mgPt for the Oxygen Reduction Reaction

TL;DR: The synthesis of uniform 9 nm Pt-Ni octahedra with the use of oleylamine and oleic acid as surfactants and W(CO)6 as a source of CO that can promote the formation of {111} facets in the presence of Ni is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ethylene glycol-mediated synthesis of metal oxide nanowires
TL;DR: A simple and convenient method has been demonstrated for large-scale synthesis of metal oxide nanowires with diameters around 50 nm and lengths up to 30 µm as mentioned in this paper, which can be readily collected as precipitates after the reaction solutions had been cooled down to room temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optical properties of Pd-Ag and Pt-Ag nanoboxes synthesized via galvanic replacement reactions.
TL;DR: After galvanic replacement, Pd-Ag and Pt-Ag nanostructures remain SERS active, suggesting their use as a SERS probe for studying the dependence of interfacial chemistry on composition.
