Seeded growth of silica rods from colloidal particles has emerged as a facile method to develop novel complex particle structures with hybrid compositions and asymmetrical shapes. However, this seeded-growth technique has been so far limited to colloidal particles of only a few materials. Here, we first develop a general synthesis for the seeded-growth of silica rods from silica particles. We then demonstrate the growth of silica rods from silica-coated particles with three different cores which ...[more]
