title: Shape-Persistent Replica Synthesis of Gold/Silver Bimetallic Nanoplates Using Tailored Silica Cages.
abstract: Shape-persistent replica synthesis of Au/Ag bimetallic nanoplates is invented. Using a tailored silica cage as a template for the synthesis, a successful shape-replication of Au/Ag bimetallic nanoplate is achieved at the cage core having geometry of initial Ag nanoplate. This work can open up the simple fabrication of multicomponent metallic particles, with nanogeometry being defined early at the initial stage.
