Cation exchange (CE) is known to be a powerful tool for the synthesis of heterogeneous nanocrystals and is currently divided into two main routes: ion solvation-driven CE reactions and thermally ...

A recent article in Nature Communications describes the direct observation of core–shell metallic nanowire growth using advanced imaging techniques. These methods enable visualization of atomic-scale ...

A transmission electron microscopy image of a core–shell cubic nanoparticle. The new core-shell nanoparticles are highly versatile and are used in printing sensor arrays that measure levels of ...

For years, core-shell structured particles have been recognized as well-designed catalysts that can facilitate reaction activity owing to their distinct synergism at the interface. Recently, by using ...
