Abstract

Abstract : We demonstrate that uniform Au nanoplates capped with a nontoxic ligand have been prepared through a seeded growth method using Au/Ag nanorings as the template. Abstract : We demonstrate that uniform Au nanoplates capped with a nontoxic ligand have been prepared through a seeded growth method using Au/Ag nanorings as the template. A mechanistic study reveals that the growth process experienced both "back-filling" and "out-extending" processes. This research sheds some light on both the synthesis and the potential applications of gold nanoplates.
