چکیده

Much effort has been devoted to the synthesis of gold nanoparticles with different shapes, including the zero-dimensional nanospheres, one dimensional nanorods, and two-dimensional nanoplates. Compared to zero or one dimensional nanostructures, the synthesis of two-dimensional nanostructures in high yield has always been more involved, often requiring complex and timeconsuming steps such as morphology transformation from the nanospheres, or the seeded growth process. Herein we report a high yield method for gold nanoplate synthesis using the extract of unicellular green alga Chlorella vulgaris, which can be carried out under ambient conditions. More than 90% of the total nanoparticle population is of the platelet morphology, surpassing the previously reported value of 45%. The control of the anisotropic growth of different planes; as well as the lateral size, has also been partially optimized.

Ultrasonic-assisted synthesis of monodisperse single-crystalline silver nanoplates and gold nanorings.

A simple sonochemical route was developed for the crystal growth of uniform silver nanoplates and ringlike gold nanocrystals in a N,N-dimethylformamide solution. The platelike structures were generated from the selective growth on different crystal planes in the presence of poly(vinylpyrrolidone) and the ultrasonic-assisted Ostwald ripening processes. The silver nanoplates in solution served as...

Facile synthesis of concave gold nanoplates in hexagonal liquid crystal made of SDS/water system.

Concave gold nanoplates are obtained in hexagonal liquid crystal (LLC) made of SDS (sodium dodecyl sulfate)/glycine/HAuCl(4) aqueous solution system where glycine plays the key role. All plates are single-crystals, characterized by {111} facets, with concave centers of regular hexagonal or triangular shapes, and with better electrocatalytic activity than gold nanoplates.

Gold Nanoplates for a Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance-Based Boric Acid Sensor

Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) properties of metallic nanostructures, such as gold, are very sensitive to the dielectric environment of the material, which can simply be adjusted by changing its shape and size through modification of the synthesizing process. Thus, these unique properties are very promising, particularly for the detection of various types of chemicals, for example b...

High-yield synthesis of triangular gold nanoplates with improved shape uniformity, tunable edge length and thickness.

We report the synthesis of uniform triangular gold nanoplates by a modified seeded growth method. The concentration of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) in the growth solution and the time interval between multiple steps of growth were important factors which determined the formation of uniform triangular Au nanoplates. In addition, by further isotropic overgrowth, the thickness of triangul...
