Protein-induced structural evolution of silver sulfide at the nanoscale: from hollow particles to solid spheres.
Herein, a novel structural transformation of Ag(2)S nanoparticles from hollow particles to solid spheres is reported. The features of these structures are identified through a set of characterizations based on which the formation mechanism is also investigated.
