摘要

Noble metal nanomaterials have been the subject of extensive research interest owing to their unique properties associated with various promising applications.In the past two decades,tremendous effort has been devoted to fine-tuning the size,shape,dimension and chemical composition of noble metal nanocrystals,as these are vital parameters affecting their properties [1].Recent experimental studies have revealed that the crystal phase of noble metal nanocrystals can also significantly affect their physicochemical properties and applications [2].Therefore,besides the well-established strategies in size,shape,dimension and composition control based on kinetic and/or thermodynamic studies,the rise of crystal-phase-controlled synthesis of noble metal nanocrystals will open up new opportunities to further modulate their physiochemical properties,thus shedding new light on their potential applications.
