Seed-mediated synthesis of metal sulfide patchy nanoparticles

Toshiharu Teranishi, Masaki Saruyama and Masayuki Kanehara

Anisotropically phase-segregated nanoparticles, so-called patchy nanoparticles, are promising materials, because the close coupling of different components on the nanoscale may significantly improve application performance, or even create new properties. We review the seed-mediated synthesis of various kinds of metal sulfide patchy nanoparticles.
