Oligonucleotide–nanoparticle
conjugates are promising building
blocks for stimuli responsive, reconfigurable functional materials
in wet environments. Here, we demonstrate the self-assembly of DNA-linked
hollow Au–Ag alloy nanocages into supracrystals in an aqueous
solution. Initially, the surface of Ag nanoparticles is modified by
depositing porous layers of gold, which allows the functionalization
of the particles with thiolated DNA following established approaches
for functionalizing Au nanoparticles. Galvanic replacement in an aqueous
Au-ion solution transforms the solid DNA conjugates into hollow, DNA-terminated
Au–Ag alloy nanocages that can be linked into three-dimensional,
long-term stable nanocage arrays by self-assembly during slow cooling.
Cathodoluminescence of individual hollow nanostructure assemblies
demonstrates a collective plasmonic behavior with strong localized
surface plasmon resonance enhancement at the surface of the supracrystals.
Our results identify an approach toward the programmable, DNA-mediated
self-assembly of hollow noble metal nanocages for applications as
plasmonic crystals.
