Preparation of Ag@SiO2 core–shell nanoparticles for plasmonic dye-sensitized solar cell application using laser ablation in liquid technique

Photoacoustic detection of transient phase transformation of nanoparticles

“…In recent years, signicant progress has been made in the technology of laser synthesis and processing of colloids (LSPC) for the controllable preparation of micro/nano materials, [1][2][3][4][5] such as the composition of products ranging from unit metals to metal oxides and multiple alloys, [6][7][8][9] the size of products ranging from submicron to nanoscale, [10][11][12] the state of matter of products ranging from solid to liquid alloys, [13][14][15] the structure of products ranging from solid to hollow and core-shell particles, [16][17][18][19][20] and the morphology of products ranging from spherical to non-spherical. [21][22][23] The melting-evaporation mechanism proposed by Pyatenko A. et al successfully explained the relationship between laser uence and product size during the process of irregular particles entering the sphere in materials.…”
