Abstract
We report the synthesis of gold nanorods (NRs) by seed-mediated growth method. A small amount of different shapes such as triangles, hexagons and a large amount of rods are obtained by varying the proportion of seed to metal salt, adding NaOH to growth solution as well as using the seed solution of CTAB-capped agent. The gold nanorod (NR) formation yield is improved. Meanwhile, the growth mechanism of high yield gold NRs is discussed. The high quality single size NRs can be separated from polydisperse samples using surfactant-assisted nanorod self-assembly. The gold NRs synthesized were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and UV-vis spectroscopy.
