  • Synthesis of palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs) with varying sizes and capping agents.
  • Cospreading of PdNPs, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), and block copolymer (poly(styrene-b-2-vinylpyridine)).
  • Post-assembly growth of AuNPs via immersion in a gold precursor solution.

    • Main Results:

    • Formation of core-satellite nanostructures with satellite AuNPs surrounding PdNP cores.
    • AuNP size doubled after growth treatment, while PdNP size remained constant.
    • Preferential and kinetically controlled growth of AuNPs observed.
    • Independent optical extinction spectra of AuNPs and PdNPs, indicating no coupled plasmonic modes.

    Conclusions:

    • An effective method for preparing substrate-supported hybrid core-satellite nanostructures over macroscopic areas was developed.
    • The independent plasmonic behavior is attributed to the small size of PdNPs.
    • These nanostructures hold potential for applications in photocatalysis and sensing.
