Seed-mediated growth of noble metal nanocrystals: crystal growth and shape control
Abstract
Controlled synthesis of noble metal nanocrystals has received enormous attention due to the ability of tailoring the properties of nanocrystals by tuning their shape, size, and composition. The seed-mediated growth method is one of the most reliable and versatile methods to control the shapes of noble metal nanocrystals. This feature article highlights recent strategies regarding shape-controlled synthesis of noble metal nanocrystals by the seed-mediated growth method, with the aim of introducing new strategies and offering new mechanistic insights into nanocrystal shape evolution. Critical parameters affecting the nucleation and growth of noble metal NCs are systemically introduced and analyzed. New developments of extended seed-mediated growth methods were also introduced. Finally, the perspectives of future research on the seed-mediated growth method are also discussed.

“The above mentioned dependence of the plasmon resonance on the refractive index of the medium can be exploited for optical sensing applications [163], even at a single molecule level [164,165], as it allows the detection of molecules dissolved in the colloidal phase or adsorbed on the surface, as long as they cause a variation of the refractive index of the medium [166,167].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
