New paper out, led by @mannaliberato.bsky.social - fascinating heterostructures with metallic Bi attached to a nano-bell. Our contribution was an extensive TEM study to look at morphology, composition and local strain - thanks to Andrea Griesi for all the EM work!

Synthesis, Growth Mechanism, and Photocatalytic Properties of Metallic-Bi/Bi13S18Br2 Nano-Bell Heterostructures
We report the synthesis of bell-shaped Bi/Bi13S18Br2 metal/semiconductor heterostructures as a photocatalyst based on nontoxic and Earth-abundant elements. Their unique morphology arises from a multis...
