Abstract
Silver nanobelts were synthesized without any external seeds or templates using a facile hydrothermal route via citrate reduction in the presence of hydrochloric acid. Both H+ and Cl– ions in HCl are important for the generation of nanobelts. The morphology can be controlled by varying the concentration of HCl and citrate. The obtained nanobelts have 3D orientation-dependent optical properties. By tracking the transportation and rotation of the nanobelts in cells or other biosystems, useful information related to the physical or chemical surroundings may be obtained.
