Abstract:The seed-mediated growth of gold nanostructures is known to be intensely dependent on the gold seed nanocrystal structure but also in the presence of different additives that may influence the morphology and, therefore, the crystalline structure of the final nanoparticle. Among the different additives or capping ligands, biomolecules are an exciting family due to their potential biomedical applications, such as drug delivery, bioimaging, biosensing, phototherapy, and antimicrobial activities. Here, we develop … Show more
