Marks decahedral nanoparticles have attracted significant attention in recent years. In this work, a method of synthesizing Marks decahedron via etching regular decahedral nanoparticles is proposed and verified by Pd nanoparticles, which shows a high yield of Marks decahedron. The present work suggests that one can tune the concave size of Marks decahedral via controlling the etching time and the amount of Poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP). The thermal stability of Marks nanoparticles is explained by Bond-Energy model, which predicts the largest groove to be the most stable configuration. Moreover, the present method can be extended to synthesize Marks decahedral nanoparticles of other elements, and is of great significance for further studies and applications of Mark decahedral nanoparticles.

Fivefold twins are extensively present in nanoparticles and nanowires, enhancing their performance in physical, chemical, and mechanical properties. However, a deep insight into the correlation between mechanical properties and fivefold twins in bulk nanograined materials is lacking due to synthesis difficulties. Here, a bulk fivefold-twinned nanograined Ni is synthesized via electrodeposition.

In an effort to meet the high demand for silver nanostructures in both research and consumer applications, we devise a simple and readily scaleable photochemical method through which silver nanostructures of varying morphologies, sizes, and optical properties can be synthesized using batch and flow photochemical strategies. For the latter we build upon the application of a wrapped-lamp photochemical flow system recently developed by our group to enable sequential irradiation with several wavelengths of LEDs in series in an approach that we describe as "plasmon pushing". We find that this strategy can accelerate the conversion of silver nanoparticle seeds to decahedral and triangular nanostructures, and that with it we have control over the tuning of the size and optical properties of triangular nanostructures in the red and near-IR regions.

Understanding the structure of nanoparticles under (electro)catalytic operating conditions is crucial for uncovering structure-property relationships. By combining X-ray total scattering and pair distribution function analysis with small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), we obtained comprehensive structural information on ultrasmall (<3 nm) iridium nanoparticles and tracked their changes during oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in acid. When subjected to electrochemical conditions at reducing potentials, the metallic Ir nanoparticles are found to be decahedral.

Despite the interest in improving the sensitivity of optical sensors using plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) (rods, wires, and stars), the full structural characterization of complex shape nanostructures is challenging. Here, we derive from a single scanning transmission electron microscope diffraction map (4D-STEM) a detailed determination of both the 3D shape and atomic arrangement of an individual 6-branched AuAg nanostar (NS) with high-aspect-ratio legs. The NS core displays an icosahedral structure, and legs are decahedral rods attached along the 5-fold axes at the core apexes.

We compare the assembly of individual Au nanoparticles in a vacuum and between two Au(111) surfaces classical molecular dynamics on a timescale of 100 ns. In a vacuum, the assembly of three nanoparticles used as seeds, initially showing decahedral, truncated octahedral and icosahedral shapes with a diameter of 1.5-1.
