Abstract

Au@Sn2S3 and Au@SnS2 core-shell hybrid nanocrystals (HNCs) were respectively accessed via an aqueous cation exchange-mediated growth strategy by using different phosphine ligands. The choice of proper ligands during synthesis is imperative to optimize the photoelectrochemical performance of these previously hardly accessible HNCs that manifest compelling plasmon-exciton interactions.
