Fig. 2. TEM and HRTEM images of (a and b) PdxS and (d and e) CdS–PdxS icosapods, respectively. The inset of b shows the SEAD image of PdxS icosapods. The insets of (e) display FFT images taken from the selected squares. (c) HAADF-STEM image and the corresponding EDS elemental mappings of the amorphous PdxS icosapods. (f) XRD patterns of the PdxS and CdS–PdxS icosapods. (g) HAADF-STEM image and (h) the corresponding EDS elemental mappings of CdS–PdxS icosapods. (i) UV-vis extinction spectra of the CdS and CdS–PdxS icosapods.
