Manipulating the degrees of concavity or Miller indices of high-index facets is significant for metal nanocrystals to further tailor their properties; however, generating a concave surface with negative curvature is still in the early development stage and tuning the degree of concavity remains a challenge. Herein, we have developed a simple and effective site-selective etching strategy to manipulate the concavity of rhodium (Rh) nanocrystals with high-index facets.
