Structural Shape Influences Nanocage Formation

Caption

Pseudomorphic transformation of Cu2O nanocrystals was induced by the shape-dependent anionic frameworks in anion-exchange reactions and the subsequent cation-exchange reactions. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the March 18, 2016 issue of Science, published by AAAS. The paper, by H.-L. Wu at Kyoto University in Kyoto, Japan, and colleagues was titled, "Formation of pseudomorphic nanocages from Cu2O nanocrystals through anion exchange reactions."
