Abstract: We report the controllable synthesis of AuNi core-shell (c-AuNi) and Janus (j-AuNi) nanocrystals (NCs) with uniform shape, tunable size and compositions in the presence of trioctylphosphine (TOP) or triphenylphosphine (TPP). The morphology of the AuNi ... ...
Abstract | We report the controllable synthesis of AuNi core-shell (c-AuNi) and Janus (j-AuNi) nanocrystals (NCs) with uniform shape, tunable size and compositions in the presence of trioctylphosphine (TOP) or triphenylphosphine (TPP). The morphology of the AuNi bimetallic NCs could be regulated by varying the structure and concentration of phosphine ligands. The ligand-directed structural evolution mechanism of AuNi bimetallic NCs was investigated and discussed in detail. When loaded on graphitic carbon nitride (GCN) for photocatalytic hydrogen generation, the obtained j-AuNi NCs showed much higher activity for hydrogen evolution than the monometallic (Au and Ni) counterparts, owing to the synergistic effect of plasmon enhanced light absorption from the Au portion and additional electron sink effect from the Ni portion. This work provides a promising route for preparing low-cost Au-based bimetallic catalysts with controllable morphologies and high activities for hydrogen production. |
