Tracking the Growth of Chiral Plasmonic Nanocrystals at Molybdenum Disulfide Heterostructural Interfaces.

The way of accurately regulating the growth of chiral plasmonics is of great importance for exploring the chirality information and improving its potential values. Herein, cysteine enantiomers modulate the anisotropic and epitaxial growth of gold nanoplasmonics on seeds of exfoliated MoS2 nanosheets. The heterostructural Au and MoS2 hybrids induced by enantiomeric cysteine are presented with chiroptical characteristics, dendritic morphologies, and plasmonic performances. Moreover, the synthesis, condition optimization, formation mechanism, and plasmonic properties of Au and MoS2 dendritic nanostructures are studied. The chirality characteristics are identified using the circular dichroism spectra and scanning electron microscopy. Time-resolved transmission electron microscopy and UV-vis spectra of the intermediate products captured are analyzed to confirm the formation mechanism of dendritic plasmonic nanostructures at heterostructural surfaces. The specific dendritic morphologies originate from the synergistic impacts of heterostructural MoS2 interfaces and enantiomeric cysteine-induced anisotropic manipulation. Significantly, the developed synthesis strategy of chiral nanostructures at heterostructural interfaces is highly promising in promoting the understanding of the plasmonic function and crucial chirality bioinformation.
