Front Cover: Symmetry Breaking Induced by Growth Kinetics: One‐Pot Synthesis of Janus Au−AgBr Nanoparticles (ChemNanoMat 10/2020)

A one-pot synthetic strategy consisting of concerted stabilization and photo and chemical reactions to yield precise anisotropic nanostructures is presented. Janus Au–AgBr are obtained in high yield using the strategy. A characteristic light absorption profile emerges due to the nanostructure, which is demonstrated by a numerical analysis. The precise nanostructures may be leveraged to elucidate mechanisms of photoelectrochemical processes and to construct advanced plasmonic photocatalysts.
