According to an embodiment of the present invention, in order to prepare positionally grown metal-semiconductor hybrid nanoparticles, metal particles in the form of a polyhedron are prepared.

The metal particles have a polyhedral shape. Therefore, it has a plurality of vertexes. The polyhedral metal particles are covered with facets of a high index such as {321}, {310}, and {730}, and by including portions of large curvature, i.e., sharp apexes, Lt; RTI ID = 0.0 > semiconductor < / RTI > Preferably, each side of the polyhedron may have a triangular shape. For example, the metal particles may have a shape such as a tetrahedron, an octahedron, a tetrahexahedron, a hexoctahedron, a cube, or the like. Considering the curvature and number of vertices, it may be desirable to have a large number of faces. For example, in one embodiment, metal particles of hexahedrons can be preferably used.

The metal particles may include a metal having high catalytic activity such as lead (Pb), gold (Au), silver (Ag), platinum (Pt) .

For example, a first solution containing the polyhedral metal particles, the dispersant, and the reducing agent may be prepared. As the dispersing agent, sodium citrate dihydrate can be preferably used. In addition, the reducing agent may include hydroxyamine hydrochloride (NH 2 OH? HCl). In order to increase the pH of the solution, a base such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH) may be added. When the pH of the solution is increased, the growth kinetics of the semiconductor at the surface of the metal particle is increased, thereby promoting the selective growth of the semiconductor.

A second solution containing a metal precursor and the first solution are mixed to grow a semiconductor on the surface of the polyhedral metal particles.

The second solution comprises a metal precursor and a stabilizer. The metal precursor may include copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), and the like. Examples of the copper precursor include bis (N, N'-di-sec-butylacetamidinate) diglycidyl (Cu), bis (6,6,7,7,8,8,8-heptafluoro (2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedionato) copper, bis (triphenylphosphine) copper Copper (II) acetate, copper (II) acetylacetonate, copper (I) bromide copper (II) acetate, Copper (II) chloride, copper cyanide, copper cyclohexane nebutyrate, copper ethyl acetoacetate, copper 2-ethylhexanoate, copper (II) chloride, copper Fluoride, copper formate, copper gluconate, copper hexafluoroacetylacetonate, copper hexafluoroacetylacetonate, copper iodide, (I) thiocyanate, copper (II) trifluoroacetate, copper (II) thiocyanate, copper (II) thiocyanate, copper (Triethylphosphine) copper, (1,10-penanthroline) bis (triphenylphosphine) copper nitrate dichloromethane, copper (II) trifluoromethanesulfonate, cyclopentadienyl Copper (I) chloride, copper (II) chloride, copper (II) chloride and the like can be used. And the like can be used.

As the stabilizer, polyvinyl pyrrolidone is used. The polyvinylpyrrolidone can stabilize the surface of the metal particles and make it possible for the semiconductor to positionally grow on the surface of the polyhedral metal particles in accordance with the difference in chemical potential .

For example, the weight average molecular weight of the polyvinyl pyrrolidone may be from about 29,000 to about 55,000.

The mixture of the first solution and the second solution may be heated at an appropriate temperature for crystal growth, for example, 50 ° C to 60 ° C.

The metal-semiconductor hybrid nanoparticles obtained through the reaction include a polyhedral metal core and a semiconductor portion selectively grown on some of the vertices of the metal core. The semiconductor portion may include a metal oxide formed from the metal precursor. For example, an oxide of copper, nickel, iron or cobalt, and in one embodiment, the semiconductor portion may comprise copper oxide (Cu 2 O).

1 is a perspective view schematically showing metal-semiconductor hybrid nanoparticles produced according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, the semiconductor portion 20 is three-dimensionally grown around the vertex of the metal core 10. That is, the semiconductor portion 20 does not grow in layers along the surface of the metal core 10 but has a protruding shape about the vertex. Further, the semiconductor portion 20 may not be formed in some of the vertexes 12, but may be exposed. For example, the angle of the vertex at which the semiconductor section 20 is formed may be smaller than the angle of the vertex 12 at which the semiconductor section is not formed. The smaller the angle, that is, the sharper the vertex, the higher the chemical potential, the easier the growth of the semiconductor portion.
