In this letter, we report the competing growth of a Pd shell on the 110 and 100 facets of Au nanorods (Au NRs). This results in the disappearance of unstable 110 facets and the formation of rectangularly shaped Pd/Au bimetallic nanorods that show only four stable 100 side surfaces. The energy minimization to a more stable morphology is believed to be the driving force for the formation of the rectangular shape of the Pd shell.
