Abstract

Control of structural ordering in noble metals is very important for the exploration of their properties and applications, and thus it is highly desired to have an in‐depth understanding of their structural transitions. Herein, through high‐pressure treatment, the mutual transformations between crystalline and amorphous phases are achieved in Pd nanosheets (NSs) and nanoparticles (NPs). The amorphous domains in the amorphous/crystalline Pd NSs exhibit pressure‐induced crystallization (PIC) phenomenon, which is considered as the preferred structural response of amorphous Pd under high pressure. On the contrary, in the spherical crystalline@amorphous core‐shell Pd NPs, pressure‐induced amorphization (PIA) is observed in the crystalline core, in which the amorphous‐crystalline phase boundary acts as the initiation site for the collapse of crystalline structure. The distinct PIC and PIA phenomena in two different heterophase Pd nanostructures might originate from the different characteristics of Pd NSs and NPs, including morphology, amorphous‐crystalline interface, and lattice parameter. This work not only provides insights into the phase transition mechanisms of amorphous/crystalline heterophase noble metal nanostructures, but also offers an alternative route for engineering noble metals with different phases.
