摘要
CONSPECTUS:Silver nanocrystals embrace fascinating properties for a wide variety of applications,but their performance tends to deteriorate because of shape instability arising from the dissolution of Ag atoms from high-energy sites such as edges and vertices.This issue can be addressed by framing the particle with a more stable metal M for the generation of a Ag@M core-frame nanocrystal.In addition to the improvement in shape stability,the inclusion of metal M expands the functionality and capability of the Ag nanocrystals.The first part of this Account introduces two strategies for the rational synthesis of Ag-based core-frame nanocubes.
