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

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

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.
