Heterometallic nanostructures, such as bimetallic core-shell nanostructures and alloy structures, have been extensively investigated due to their potential applications in many fields including catalysis, electronics, sensors, and biomedicine. Despite much advances in nano-engineering, the overgrowth of secondary materials onto pre-synthesized seeds in a controllable manner to form core-shell configurations are still practically challenging. Herein, we report a high yielding and facile fabrication of bimetallic nanostructures through the expitaxial or islanded overgrowth of Pd shells onto gold multipod nanoparticle core (GMN@Pd NPs). Such hybrid nanostructures with anisotropic components could lead to significantly enhanced physical and chemical properties due to the possible synergistic effect. |
