Facile synthesis of bimetallic nanoplates consisting of Pd cores and Pt shells through seeded epitaxial growth.

TL;DR: Characterization of the as-prepared Pd-Pt nanoplates reveals that a thin, uniform Pt shell was formed around the Pd nanoplate, demonstrating the layer-by-layer epitaxial growth of Pt on Pd surface in this approach.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inorganic nanoparticle-based contrast agents for molecular imaging

TL;DR: Recent advances in the development of contrast agents based on inorganic NPs for molecular imaging are reviewed, and also touch on contrast enhancement, surface modification, tissue targeting, clearance and toxicity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Controlling the Nucleation and Growth of Silver on Palladium Nanocubes by Manipulating the Reaction Kinetics

TL;DR: This work is supported by the World Class University and the National Research Foundation of Korea and the U.S. Department of Energy, Basic Energy Sciences, by the Materials Sciences and Engineering Division.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis of silver nanoplates at high yields by slowing down the polyol reduction of silver nitrate with polyacrylamide

TL;DR: In this article, a simple route to Ag nanoplates by slowing the polyol reduction of silver nitrate with polyacrylamide (PAM) was described, where the amino groups of PAM can form complexes with Ag+ ions in the solution to substantially reducing the reduction rate, leading to the formation of thin Nanoplates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Three‐Dimensional Photonic Crystals with Non‐spherical Colloids as Building Blocks

TL;DR: In this article, the potential use of non-spherical colloids as the building blocks in self-assembly to fabricate 3D photonic crystals with bandgaps located in the optical regime is discussed.
