Formation of Au–Ag2S tree burl-like HNPs through welding of Au NWs and spherical Ag2S NPs. a–c TEM images of HNPs obtained by welding Ag2S NPs and Au NWs at different magnifications. d The volume renderings of the tomographic reconstruction of such HNPs at different rotation angles along Z axis. e Three-dimensional tomographic reconstruction of such Au–Ag2S HNPs. The progressing cross-sections and the isosurfaces visualize the internal structures of the nanocomposite. Scale bars are 100 nm in a, 10 nm in b, 5 nm in c, and 20 nm in d and e
