Templated Colloidal Synthesis of Nanohybrids
Nanomaterials with anisotropic shape and specific surface chemistry at different interfaces can be used to direct the adsorption or attachment of molecules, changing the chemical environment of the interface. This can promote the synthesis of nanomaterials at specific interfaces or inside modified confined spaces, to achieve nanomaterial hybrids with properties derived from both materials. Furthermore, this can lead to unique growth mechanisms and the formation of defects, advancing applications in energy generation and storage.
