Abstract

By utilizing the X-ray absorption approach, the gold ions evolving from the Au−Cl complex to Au rods have been elucidated. The theoretical simulation of X-ray absorption spectra further revealed the evolution of gold and concluded that ultrafine small clusters of gold (Au13) formed after a reducing agent was added to the growth solution. A redesigned seed-assisted growth method, a serial addition of growth solution, was employed to achieve the goal of the consecutive support of gold. The development approach was found to successfully fabricate 1D gold nanorods/wires with a tunable size from 50 nm to 1.7 μm.
