Sn Galvanic Exchange Enables Creation of Trimetallic Multiphase Plasmonic Nanoparticles
A compositionally versatile synthesis strategy has produced trimetallic nanoparticles with textured surface morphologies, coexisting alloy and intermetallic phase structures, and tunable plasmonic responses. The galvanic exchange of Sn within Au─Sn seeds provides access to Au─Sn─M (M = Pd, Rh, Cu) nanoparticles that maintain long‐range structural order

Do We Really Know Why Carbon Nanotubes Grow?
The CNT growth mechanism is still debated. We propose a heterogeneous (2D) classical nucleation framework comparing pathways for graphenic patches, caps, and full CNTs. Despite its simplicity, it rationalizes key trends, including the correlation between catalyst particle size and CNT diameter.
