The synthesis of metal nanostructures with, plasmon wavelengths beyond similar to 1000 nm is strongly desired, especially for those with small sizes. Herein we report on a AgPd-tipping process on Au nanobipyramids with the resultant red plasmon shifts reaching up to similar to 900 nm. The large red plasmon shifts are ascribed to the deposition of the metal at the tips of Au nanobipyramids, which is verified by electrodynamic simulations. The method has been successfully applied to Au nanobipyramids and nanorods with different longitudinal dipolar plasmon wavelengths, demonstrating that the plasmon wavelengths of these Au nanocrystals can be extended to the entire near-infrared region. Pt can also induce the tipping on Au nanobipyramids and nanorods to realize red plasmon shifts, suggesting the generality of our approach. We have further shown that the metal-tipped Au nanobipyramids possess a high photothermal conversion efficiency and good photothermal therapy performance. This study opens up a route to the construction of Au nanostructures with plasmon resonance in a broad spectral region for plasmon-enabled technological applications.
