- Abstract
- Hybrid nanoparticles (NPs) have attracted considerable attention because of their ability to provide diverse properties by integrating the inherent properties of multiple components; however, synthetic strategies to control their morphology remain unexplored. In this study, a new method was used to control the morphology and optical properties of Au-Ni heterostructure (ANH) NPs. Unique morphological changes were observed by varying the Au/Ni precursor ratio from 2:1 to 1:4, exhibiting a shape transformation from dumbbell-like to quasi-spherical owing to the Ni NP size expansion, whereas the Au NP maintained their size. Moreover, increasing the Ni ratio induced plasmonic band broadening and wavelength redshift, resulting in color changes from red to navy and black. In terms of the structure, the atomic orientation of the crystallite showed that even a large lattice mismatch can result in heterojunctions at the NPs. In addition, the reaction aliquots uncovered heterogeneous nucleation and growth of ANH NPs in the colloidal system, demonstrating Ni reduction on the preformed Au NP owing to the reduction in potential gap. This study provides new insights into controlling the morphology of hybrid NPs using colloidal synthesis and the design of optimized materials for various applications.
