Heterostructure of AuAg nanoparticles tipping on Ag 2 S quantum tubes

We report synthesis of a novel metal–semiconductor heterostructure, in which AuAg alloy nanoparticles locate at Ag 2 S quantum tube tips. Ag 2 S quantum tubes have ultrathin walls below 1 nm thickness. The formation mechanism, UV-vis, luminescence and photoelectrochemical activity of the prepared he...

Summary:We report synthesis of a novel metal–semiconductor heterostructure, in which AuAg alloy nanoparticles locate at Ag 2 S quantum tube tips. Ag 2 S quantum tubes have ultrathin walls below 1 nm thickness. The formation mechanism, UV-vis, luminescence and photoelectrochemical activity of the prepared heterostructure were further studied.
