Competitive Cation Exchange and Etching Processes in Metal Sulfide Nanoparticles from Anion/Ligand Cooperativity and Exogenous Cations.

Cation exchange reactions enable the construction of sophisticated multimaterial architectures within nanoparticles, with certain regions capable of being etched to create void spaces and sculpted morphologies. However, the chemical reactivity that l…
