Harnessing Molecule–solid Duality of Nanoclusters/Nanoparticles for Nanoscale Control of Size, Shape and Alloying

Abstract

This report demonstrates a molecule–solid duality concept for nanoscale control of size, shape and alloying by showing novel evolution of binary copper and gold nanoclusters or nanoparticles towards alloy nanocubes, as evidenced by in situ real time synchrotron X-ray diffraction characterization.
