Abstract

A facile phase transfer procedure is described for the formation of uniform silver metal tips on II–VI semiconductor nanorods. Judicious choice of a functional ligand dimethyl phenol (DMP) which binds to the semiconductor rod in the organic phase enables the transfer of metal ions from the aqueous phase and their reduction onto the nanorod. The nanorod hybrids can be assembled into perpendicularly aligned arrays by simple solvent evaporation.
