Abstract:
Turing lead into gold: Hollow hybrid PbS(x)-Au nanostructures of about 10 nm in diameter were synthesized using a one-step reaction under mild experimental conditions. The redox reaction of gold precursors with PbS nanocrystals in the presence of dodecylamine leads to the hollow feature of hybrid nanostructures (see picture).
