Triangular core-shell ZnO@SiO2 nanoparticles.
Well packed! Core-shell nanostructures composed of ZnO particles encapsulated in an equilateral triangular SiO2 shell are reported for the first time. The quantum-confinement effects within the nanostructures can be used to tune their properties for optoelectronic applications.
