Here, a systematic study of the roles played by Pd seeds during seed-mediated coreduction of Pd-Pt is presented. Either nanoparticles with porous, hollow architectures or concave nanocubes were achieved, depending on whether the synthesis conditions favored galvanic replacement or overgrowth. Prior works have shown that the galvanic replacement reaction between seeds and a precursor can be suppressed by introducing a faster, parallel reaction that removes one of the reagents (e.g., adatom generation in solution rather than surface-catalyzed precursor reduction). Here, we show that the galvanic replacement reaction depends on the size and concentration of the Pd seeds; the former of which can be manipulated during the course of the reaction through the use of a secondary reducing agent. This insight will guide future syntheses of multimetallic nanostructures by seeded methods, allowing for a range of nanocrystals to be precisely engineered for a variety of applications.
