    Area of Science:

    • Materials Science
    • Nanotechnology
    • Chemistry

    Background:

    • Heterostructured nanoparticles integrate multiple materials for synergistic functions in energy, nanomedicine, and photonics.
    • Synthesizing these complex nanoparticles requires precise control over size, shape, composition, and interfaces.
    • Existing methods face challenges in simultaneously controlling all critical nanoparticle features.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a rational, made-to-order synthesis strategy for complex heterostructured nanoparticles.
    • To utilize sequential partial cation exchange reactions for precise control over nanoparticle architecture.
    • To explore the creation of diverse heterostructured nanoparticles from simple templates.

    Main Methods:

    • Employing sequential partial cation exchange reactions on roxbyite copper sulfide (Cu1.8S) templates (spheres, rods, plates).
    • Controlling the extent of cation exchange using reaction time or cation concentration.
    • Applying up to seven sequential exchanges to create multicomponent nanorods with multiple interfaces.

    Main Results:

    • A library of 47 heterostructured nanoparticle derivatives was synthesized, maintaining template size and shape.
    • Demonstrated synthesis of nanorods with up to six different materials and eight internal interfaces.
    • Mapped 65,520 feasible heterostructured nanorod pathways, experimentally verifying 113, and successfully synthesizing three complex structures.

    Conclusions:

    • Sequential partial cation exchange offers a powerful and versatile method for constructing complex heterostructured nanoparticles.
    • This approach bridges the gap between computational design and experimental synthesis of tailored nanomaterials.
    • Expansion to more materials and design rules will enable access to functional targets for diverse applications.
