Strategies to form hierarchical heteronanostructures : Heteroepitaxy and nanoalloy formation

초록/요약

Hierarchical branched nanostructures, most examples are found for oxide nanomaterial, have received a great attention due to their potential application in sensors, solar cells, optoelectronic devices, and etc. Although hierarchical branched nanostructures possess advantages including structural hierarchy and high surface areas, there are no known examples of all metal hierarchical nanostructures due to the difficulty in nucleation of heterophase on the single crystalline metal phase. With our recently reported coaxial Au@Pt nanowires, I attempted the growth of Rh phase because there are numerous twinning boundaries providing the ideal Rh growth sites. In this thesis, I have successfully demonstrated the dimension controlled vertical growth of Rh nanorods and nanoplates on a Au@Pt nanowire, which are not obtained in the absence of the Au@Pt nanowire substrate. These hierarchical Rh nanocrystals on Au@Pt nanowires are expected to provide an ideal condition for maximal catalyst utilization due to the completely exposed active catalytic surface and easily accessible structure by the organic substrates.
