This Review offers a comprehensive review of the colloidal synthesis, mechanistic
understanding, physicochemical properties, and applications of one-dimensional (1D) metal …

Gold nanorods have been the first successful example of anisotropic plasmonic
nanostructure synthesized by wet chemistry. 1 Since the early 2000s, they have received …

Zn metal has been regarded as one of the most promising metal anodes for aqueous
batteries, but it still suffers from undesirable dendrites growth and serious side-reaction …

General principles and recent developments in the synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs)
are reviewed. The “in situ” Turkevich-Frens and Brust-Schiffrin methods are still major …

Au nanotriangles display interesting nanoplasmonic features with potential application in
various fields. However, such applications have been hindered by the lack of efficient …

The development of facile seeded growth syntheses for anisotropic gold nanoparticles
(particularly gold nanorods) has spurred an interest in their optical properties and …

Gold nanorods have received much attention due to their unique optical and electronic
properties which are dependent on their shape, size, and aspect ratio. This article covers in …

While gold nanorods have been extensively studied and used in many biological,
plasmonics, and sensing applications, their conventional seed-mediated synthesis still …

The synthesis of well-defined inorganic nanoparticles in colloidal solution, which evolved
gradually from the 1950s onward, has now reached the point where applications in both the …
