摘要: Understanding the surface structure of metal nanocrystals with specific facet indices is important due to its impact on controlling nanocrystal shape and functionality. However, this particularly challenging for halide-adsorbed difficulty in analysing interactions between metals light halides (for example, chloride). Here we uncover structures chloride-adsorbed, silver-coated gold {111}, {110}, {310} {720} indexed facets by X-ray absorption spectroscopy density functional theory modelling. The silver–chloride, silver–silver silver–gold bonding are markedly different surfaces, sensitive their formation mechanism type. A unique approach combining experimental/simulated further verifies models identifies previously indistinguishable valence state silver atoms surfaces. Overall, work elucidates thus-far unknown chloride–metal sheds onto halide-induced growth anisotropic nanocrystals.
