Metal nanoparticles (NPs) have been attracting huge attention during this decade because
of their unique optical, electronic, magnetic and catalytic properties. In the field of …

The seed-mediated growth of noble metal nanostructures with planar geometries requires
the use of seeds lined with parallel stacking faults so as to provide a break in symmetry in an …

The surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of silver nanoparticles can be tuned throughout the
visible and near-infrared region by their shape and size. Considering SPR applications, an …

Here we describe the synthesis and purification of Au nanoplates grown directly on surfaces
by a chemical seed-mediated growth method. The synthesis involves the attachment of 3− 5 …

A photocatalytic approach was used to synthesize triangular nanoplates in aqueous
solution. The synthesis is based on the reduction of a gold salt using a tin (IV) porphyrin as …

Highly efficient and remarkable selective acetone conversion to isopropanol has been
achieved via a heterogeneous catalytic hydrogenation of acetone by NaBH4 in the presence …

Charge collection, transport and the recombination, which can be described by a
capacitance of the device, in a dye-sensitized solar cell determine the performance of the …

Two-dimensional structure Au nanosheets with a polygon morphology and controlled
thicknesses of∼ 15 nm,∼ 35 nm, and∼ 50 nm were successfully synthesized by a one-step …

Nanostructured Au surfaces have unique and attractive properties as functional materials in
many fields such as heterogeneous catalysis and electrocatalysis. Electrochemical …
