Abstract
The growth mechanism of star-shaped Au–Ag nanoparticles, which is important for improving the absorption efficiency of nanoparticles in the near-infrared region, remains to be clarified. In this study, the growth mechanism by stabilizing certain facets of Au in spines by underpotential deposition of Ag was investigated. The nanoparticles were analyzed primarily by scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. 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 high-angle annular dark-field STEM tomography. These findings are expected to contribute to the morphology control of plasmonic nanoparticles.
