Au/Pd octopods and concave core@shell Au@Pd nanocrystals have been prepared by coupling for the first time a seed-mediated synthetic method with co-reduction. The integration of these two methods is central to the formation of these binary Au/Pd nanocrystals wherein the kinetics of seeded growth are manipulated via the co-reduction technique to control the final morphology of the nanocrystals. Significantly, the synthesis of these structures under similar reaction conditions illustrates that they are structurally related kinetic products. Detailed characterization by STEM-EDX analysis highlights the unique structural features of these nanocrystals and indicates that Pd localizes on the higher-energy features of the nanocrystals. Optical and electrocatalytic characterization also demonstrates their promise as a new class of multifunctional nanostructures.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D007854 Lead A soft, grayish metal with poisonous salts; atomic number 82, atomic weight 207.2, symbol Pb.
D008670 Metals Electropositive chemical elements characterized by ductility, malleability, luster, and conductance of heat and electricity. They can replace the hydrogen of an acid and form bases with hydroxyl radicals. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed) Metal
D008855 Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.
