Achieving mastery over the synthesis of metal nanocrystals has emerged as one of the
foremost scientific endeavors in recent years. This intense interest stems from the fact that …

The shape control of gold nanocrystals has attracted extensive research interest because of
their unique shape-dependent properties and widespread applications. Surfactants have …

The localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of plasmonic nanomaterials is highly
dependent on their structures. Going beyond simple shape and size, further structural …

We demonstrate that the silica shell on nanoparticles formed by a typical Stöber method is
inhomogeneous in nature. The outer layer of the shell is chemically more robust than the …

Conspectus Nanosynthesis is the art of creating nanostructures, with on-demand synthesis
as the ultimate goal. Noble metal nanoparticles have wide applications, but the available …

The core–shell nanoparticle structure, which consists of an inner layer “guest” nanoparticle
encapsulated inside another of a different material, is the simplest motif in two-component …

Recent research has established growing research interest in subject of conducting polymer
(CP)-based hybrids due to their novel properties and potential applications in diverse fields …

Enzyme-assisted synthesis of electrochemically active nanocomposite structures based on
π-π conjugated polymers polyaniline (PANI) and polypyrrole (Ppy) is reported. The …

The morphology, size and composition often govern the physical and chemical properties of
noble metal units with a size in the nano or micro scale. Thus, the controlled growth of noble …

Fractal metallic dendrites have been drawing more attentions recently, yet they have rarely
been explored in electronic printing or packaging applications because of the great …
