Ultrasonic Synthesis of Au/AgCl Hybrid Cubes and Their Evolution Under Electron Beam Irradiation

The utilization of ultrasound offers a facile tool for the synthesis of Au / AgCl hybrid particles. We have obtained the architectures of Au nanoparticles on AgCl sub-micrometer cubes by simply ultrasonic irradiating their precursors in ethylene glycol (EG). The formation process of Au / AgCl hybrid particles in the reaction solution has been studied based on the optical absorption spectra and the scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of the particles obtained at different ultrasonic irradiation stages. The dynamic changes of Au / AgCl hybrid particles under electron beam irradiation have been investigated in both SEM and in situ liquid cell transmission electron microscope (TEM). Hollow Au / AgCl hybrid particle structures have been obtained under the electron beam irradiation in liquid, with the cuboid contour shape preserved.

Zn Nanoparticles

When exposed to air at room temperature, Zn nanoparticles oxidize gradually to form crystalline ZnO shells with a thickness of a few nanometers. Electron diffraction and high-resolution lattice imaging revealed that the ZnO layer on the Zn {0001} surface is composed of many epitaxial domains with small rotation angles relative to the lattice of the Zn core. The oxidized Zn particle bends when irradiated by the electron beam in a transmission electron microscope. This is due to the increase of internal stress in the ZnO layer as a result of the realignment of adjacent domains under electron beam irradiation. Corrosion of Zn nanoparticles was observed and the scaling and spalling start to occur on the {1010} prismatic faces.
