Abstract

The kinetics of formation of palladium nanoparticles with well-defined morphologies (rods, cubes, MTP icosahedra, bipyramids) was studied using a combination of TEM and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The present study was focused on the role of the concentration and the size of seeds on both the kinetics of growth and the morphology distribution. Results clearly emphasize the role of the seed concentration (and not the size) on the growth kinetics in agreement with a collision theory model.
