Analytical TEM study of the core-shell structure of Au-Pd nano-particles prepared by sonochemical technique

The structure of Au-Pd nanoparticles prepared by the sonochemical method was observed by an analytical TEM. The core (Au)-shell (Pd) structure was confirmed by ADF-STEM images. The ratio of Au and Pd contents was controlled by adjusting the ratio of precursors, and the Pd-shell thickness was also co...

Summary:The structure of Au-Pd nanoparticles prepared by the sonochemical method was observed by an analytical TEM. The core (Au)-shell (Pd) structure was confirmed by ADF-STEM images. The ratio of Au and Pd contents was controlled by adjusting the ratio of precursors, and the Pd-shell thickness was also controlled by the ratio of Au and Pd contents. The electron diffraction patterns showed that the lattice constant of the Pd shell is quite larger than that of bulk Pd and rather similar to that of bulk Au even in the systems with larger ratios of Pd, which supports the pseudomorphic growth of the Pd shell on the Au core.
