Abstract
ABSTRACTGold nanorods with the longitudinal plasmonic resonance peak position up to 1200 nm are prepared using an improved seedless synthetic technique. In this method, dopamine is employed as the weak reducer, whereas cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and sodium oleate are used as the binary surfactant mixture. Gold nanorods produced at various amounts of silver nitrate and hydrochloric acid were characterized by visible-near-infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Results show that the sizes, length-to-width aspect ratios, and the corresponding longitudinal surface plasmon resonance peaks of the synthesized gold nanorods can be tuned by altering the silver nitrate and hydrochloric acid amounts. The present method provides a new procedure for fabrication of gold nanorods with a broad range of plasmonic resonance peaks, which has a great potential for applications such as photothermal therapy and sensing.
