Morphosynthesis of Rhombododecahedral Silver Cages by Self-Assembly Coupled with Precursor Crystal Templating

Through the reduction of micrometer‐sized silver phosphate crystals with a perfect rhombododecahedral shape by a reaction/diffusion process to hierarchical, rhombododecahedral silver cages (see picture): The controlled self‐assembly of silver particles around the precursor crystal surfaces leads to...

Description
Summary:Through the reduction of micrometer‐sized silver phosphate crystals with a perfect rhombododecahedral shape by a reaction/diffusion process to hierarchical, rhombododecahedral silver cages (see picture): The controlled self‐assembly of silver particles around the precursor crystal surfaces leads to the formation of morphology‐preserved single‐ or double‐walled silver cages constructed from different building units.
