Influence of Surface Chemistry on Metal Deposition Outcomes in Copper Selenide-Based Nanoheterostructure Synthesis.

ABSTRACT: The use of nanoparticle surface chemistry to direct metal deposition has been well-studied in the modification of metal nanoparticle substrates but is not yet well-established for metal chalcogenide particle substrates, although integration of these particles into nanoheterostructures is of high interest. In this report, we investigate the effect of Cu_2-xSe surface chemistry on the morphology of metal deposition on these plasmonic semiconductor nanoparticles. Specifically, we functionalize Cu_2-xSe nanoparticles with a suite of 12 different ligands and investigate how different aspects of the ligand structure do or do not impact the morphology and extent of subsequent metal deposition on the Cu_2-xSe surface. Surprisingly, our results ind
