We report a general method based on the galvanic replacement for the fabrication of nanoscale, multimetallic, cage cubes by confining the drilling of Ag to the center of each side face of a Ag nanocube encased by Ag–Au alloy frames. In a typical process, we disperse Ag@Ag–Au core–frame nanocubes in an aqueous solution of cetyltrimethylammonium chloride, followed by the titration of an aqueous solution of the precursor under ambient conditions. We identify that the oxidation of Ag is preferentially instigated from the Ag-dominated regions located at the center of each side face of a nanocube for the creation of a cavity, while the resultant metal atoms are deposited on the edges and corners in an orthogonal manner. In the case of H2PtCl6 precursor, Ag atoms will be carved away from the side faces in the form of Ag(I) ions for the generation of a much smaller number of Pt atoms. Because a thin layer of Ag–Au–Pt alloy tends to be formed on the surface, including the areas around but not inside the cavities, ...
