Facile synthesis of Ag nanocubes and Au nanocages
TL;DR: This protocol describes a method for the synthesis of Ag nanocubes and their subsequent conversion into Au nanocages via the galvanic replacement reaction, which can serve as sacrificial templates for the preparation of Au Nanocages.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electrospinning Nanofibers as Uniaxially Aligned Arrays and Layer‐by‐Layer Stacked Films
Dan Li,Yuliang Wang,Younan Xia +2 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a collector composed of two conductive strips separated by an insulating gap of variable width is used to generate nanofibers as uniaxially aligned arrays over large areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
25th Anniversary Article: Galvanic Replacement: A Simple and Versatile Route to Hollow Nanostructures with Tunable and Well-Controlled Properties
TL;DR: A progress report on the use of galvanic replacement for generating complex hollow nanostructures with tunable and well-controlled properties and its capability to fabricate nanomaterials with complex structures and/or compositions by coupling with other processes such as co-reduction and the Kirkendall effect.
Journal ArticleDOI
Platinum-based nanocages with subnanometer-thick walls and well-defined, controllable facets
Lei Zhang,Lei Zhang,Luke T. Roling,Xue Wang,Xue Wang,Madeline Vara,Miaofang Chi,Jingyue Liu,Sang-Il Choi,Jinho Park,Jeffrey A. Herron,Zhaoxiong Xie,Manos Mavrikakis,Younan Xia +13 more
TL;DR: Nanocages of platinum are fabricated by depositing a few atomic layers of platinum as conformal shells on palladium nanocrystals with well-defined facets and then etching away the Pd templates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shape-controlled synthesis of platinum nanocrystals for catalytic and electrocatalytic applications
TL;DR: A number of chemical routes have been developed to produce Pt nanocrystals with well-defined and controllable shapes to improve their performance in terms of catalytic activity and selectivity as mentioned in this paper.
