title: Synthesis and photocatalytic properties of Cu2S-Pd4S hybrid nanoplates.
abstract: Hex appeal! Cu(2)S-Pd(4)S hybrid nanocrystals with a novel hexagonal nanoplate structure were prepared in high yield by a simple one-pot synthetic method (see figure). Successful synthesis of this unique structure was achieved through a consecutive thermolysis process. The Cu(2)S-Pd(4)S hybrid nanoplates exhibited substantially higher photocatalytic activities than pure Cu(2)S nanoplates.
