Abstract:

Janus particles with asymmetric crystals show great importance in optoelectronics and photocatalysis, but their synthesis usually requires complicated procedures. Here, an unexpected Janus vitrification phenomenon is observed in a droplet caused by the Leidenfrost effect at a cryogenic temperature, which is commonly regarded as symmetric. The Leidenfrost phenomenon levitates the droplet when it comes in contact with liquid nitrogen causing different cooling conditions on the droplet's top and bottom surfaces. It induces asymmetric crystallization in the droplet, forming a Janus vitrified particle with an asymmetric crystallization borderline after cooling, as further evidenced by cryotransmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) experiments. Theoretical analysis and experimental study indicate that the position of the asymmetric crystallization borderline is determined by the droplet radius and density, and the observation window of asymmetric crystallization borderline is determined by the chemical concentration. The finding reveals the asymmetric crystallization phenomenon in droplet vitrification for the first time, and provides a new insight for creating Janus particles through the Leidenfrost phenomenon.
