Description:

(abstract)

The growth mechanism by stabilizing certain facets of Au in spines by underpotential deposition of Ag was investigated. The nanoparticles were analyzed primarily by STEM and EDS. Analysis of spines on nanoparticles synthesized with an Au/Ag ratio of 18/4 revealed that approximately 1 nm of Ag was deposited on the topmost surface of Au, and the growth direction of spines was <200>. Underpotential deposition of Ag nanolayers on specific facets of the spines on nanoparticles was observed for the first time by elemental mapping and HAADF STEM tomography.
