| Abstract | Design and synthesis of Au nanocages is one of the basic interests in the fabrication of nanoscale structures due to their attractive potentials in catalysis, medical science and so on. In most cases, spherical or cubic Au nanocages were fabricated using silica nanoparticles or Ag nanocubes as templates. In this article, another kind of versatile template, Cu2O microcrystals, has been employed to synthesize Au nanocages with various morphologies, such as cube, sphere, octahedron, truncated octahedron, cuboctahedron and concave cube morphologies. Surface modification of the templates, which is a necessary procedure in the synthesis of cage-shaped structures using a template-based strategy is avoided by this method because AuCl4− can be reduced spontaneously on the surfaces of the Cu2O microcrystals at room temperature. When the Cu2O microcrystals possess only one type of exposed planes, Au nanoparticles (NPs) are deposited homogeneously on the supports, etching out Cu2O portions in the as-prepared nanocomposites, with porous Au nanocages produced. However, if the Cu2O microcrystals have two kinds of exposed planes, such as (111) and (100), selective deposition of Au NPs was observed. Based on this phenomenon, cuboctahedral and truncated octahedral Au nanoframes were synthesized. Due to the porous structure of the as-prepared Au nanocages, the catalytic activity of cubic Au nanocages in the reduction of 4-nitrophenol by sodium borohydride is much higher than that of reported spongy Au nanocrystals. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
