Graphical Abstract

With the combination of selective ligand modification and the introduction of a transitional Pd layer, island growth of Au on Au nanostructures can be achieved. By adjusting the ligand concentration and oxidative ripening, Au islands’ location, numbers, and coverage can be precisely controlled, and the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) wavelengths can be finely tailored for various applications.

Abstract

Controlled growth of islands on plasmonic metal nanoparticles represents a novel strategy in creating unique morphologies that are difficult to achieve by conventional colloidal synthesis processes, where the nanoparticle morphologies are typically determined by the preferential development of certain crystal facets. This work exploits an effective surface-engineering strategy for site-selective island growth of Au on anisotropic Au nanostructures. Selective ligand modification is first employed to direct the site-selective deposition of a thin transition layer of a secondary metal, e.g., Pd, which has a considerable lattice mismatch with Au. The selective deposition of Pd on the original seeds produces a high contrast in the surface strain that guides the subsequent site-selective growth of Au islands. This strategy proves effective in not only inducing the island growth of Au on Au nanostructures but also manipulating the location of grown islands. By taking advantage of the iodide-assisted oxidative ripening process and the surface strain profile on Au nanostructures, we further demonstrate the precise control of the islands’ number, coverage, and wetting degree, allowing fine-tuning of nanoparticles’ optical properties.
