AI Article Synopsis
- Two types of gold nanostructures, rhombic dodecahedra and obtuse triangular bipyramids, were created using a special growth method that involves silver assistance.
- The use of a chloride-containing surfactant along with low silver ion concentration helps stabilize the unique {110} facets of these structures.
- This research reports the first-ever successful synthesis of {110}-faceted bipyramids in the field of nanotechnology.
Article Abstract
Two {110}-faceted gold nanostructures--rhombic dodecahedra and obtuse triangular bipyramids--have been synthesized via a Ag-assisted, seed-mediated growth method. The combination of a Cl(-)-containing surfactant with a low concentration of Ag(+) plays a role in the stabilization of the {110} facets. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported synthesis of a {110}-faceted bipyramid structure.
