Back Cover: Bimetallic Au@Pd‐Au Tadpole‐Shaped Asymmetric Nanostructures by a Combination of Precursor Reduction and Ostwald Ripening (ChemNanoMat 6/2016)

The back cover depicts bimetallic and asymmetric Au@Pd-Au tadpoles having a tail composed of a single Au nanorod and a spherical head composed of core–shell Au@Pd decorated with small Au NPs islands. This material was obtained by a combination of Au deposition and Ostwald ripening at the surface of Au@Pd core–shell NPs. Their morphology could be tailored by controlling the amount of AuCl4− precursor and the reaction time, leading to shape-dependent optical and catalytic properties.
