Fig. 9From: Ion exchange: an advanced synthetic method for complex nanoparticlesa A schematic of the cation exchange reaction in CdS or CdSe with Pb2+. Transmission electron microscopy images of PbS NPs synthesized from CdS NPs (b) and partially exchanged CdS NPs (c). Both their spherical nature and heterostructure can be observed. d A transmission electron microscopy image of partially exchanged CdSe NPs. The PbSe and CdSe domains form two (111) interfaces.
