Epitaxial core-shell CoO-CoFe2 O4 nanocrystals are fabricated by using pulsed laser deposition with the aid of melted material (Bi2 O3 ) addition and suitable lattice mismatch provided by substrates (SrTiO3 ). Well aligned orientations among nanocrystals and reversible core-shell sequence reveal tunable magnetic anisotropy. The interfacial coupling between core and shell further engineers the nanocrystal functionality.

Electrochemical deposition of Ni on arrays of GaAs nanowires with n-type channels.

Nanotechnology

January 2025

Laboratory of micro- and nanoelectronics, Saint Petersburg Electrotechnical University 'LETI', Prof. Popova st. 5, 197022 St.Petersburg, Russia.

The processes of electrochemical deposition of Ni on vertically aligned GaAs nanowires (NWs) grown by molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE) using Au as a growth catalyst on n-type Si(111) substrates were studied. Based on the results of electrochemical deposition, it was concluded that during the MBE synthesis of NWs the self-induced formation of conductive channels can occur inside NWs, thereby forming quasi core-shell NWs. Depending on the length of the channel compare to the NW heights and the parameters of electrochemical deposition, the different hybrid metal-semiconductor nanostructures, such as Ni nanoparticles on GaAs NW side walls, Ni clusters on top ends of GaAs NWs, core-shell GaAs/Ni NWs, were obtained.

High-entropy-alloy (HEA) nanocrystals hold immense potential for catalysis, offering virtually unlimited alloy combinations through the inclusion of at least five constituent elements in varying ratios. However, general and effective strategies for synthesizing libraries of HEA nanocrystals with controlled surface atomic structures remain scarce. In this study, a transferable strategy for developing a library of facet-controlled seed@HEA nanocrystals through seed-mediated growth is presented.

Growth of Ultrathick CuInS Shells for Supersized Core/Shell Nanoparticles.

Inorg Chem

December 2024

Key Laboratory of Physics and Technology for Advanced Batteries, Ministry of Education, College of Physics, Jilin University, Qianjin Street No. 2699, Changchun 130012, China.

Article Synopsis
  • Growth of ultrathick shells on quantum dots (QDs) enhances the properties of nanoparticles (NPs).
  • CuInSe quantum dots were created with a uniform surface, allowing for a superthick shell (∼45 nm) of CuInS to be added, resulting in large core/shell nanostructures (~100 nm).
  • This technique was further applied to create other core/shell configurations, indicating potential for new chemical and physical phenomena in nanomaterials, beneficial for research and commercial applications.

Plateau-Rayleigh Instability in Soft-Lattice Inorganic Solids.

J Am Chem Soc

December 2024

New Cornerstone Science Laboratory, Department of Chemistry, Institute of Biomimetic Materials and Chemistry, Anhui Engineering Laboratory of Biomimetic Materials, Division of Nanomaterials and Chemistry, Hefei National Research Center for Physical Sciences at the Microscale, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei 230026, China.

Plateau-Rayleigh instability─a macroscopic phenomenon describing the volume-constant breakup of one-dimensional continuous fluids─has now been widely observed in adatoms, liquids, polymers, and liquid metals. This instability enables controlled wetting-dewetting behavior at fluid-solid interfaces and, thereby, the self-limited patterning into ordered structures. However, it has yet to be observed in conventional inorganic solids, as the rigid lattices restrict their "fluidity".

Exploiting advanced solid particles is crucial to the construction of Pickering emulsions catalysis. Recently, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been used as ideal emulsifiers stabilizing Pickering emulsions for interfacial catalysis. Although Pickering emulsions stabilized by core-shell MOFs have significant importance in practical studies, to date there have been very limited reports on this topic.
