Shape Controllable Synthesis of Silver Particles by Selecting the Crystallization Routes

“…Different formation mechanisms have been proposed for these amazing structures. Among them, self-assembly of individual particles is the most plausible (Sung H. and Choi M., 2013), in which the building block particles are formed firstly and then aggregate together following certain orientation. But this mechanism does not work well in our system because the initial particles are much smaller than the final petal and their morphology is also different, as shown in Fig.…”

Green and Sustainable Manufacture of Ultrapure Engineered Nanomaterials

“…Control over the location of tunable SPNPs was demonstrated by focusing them through nanoscopic lenses achieved by the IAAL strategy [38,39] thanks to their synthesis in the gas phase, in order to build up ultrapure well defined stable 3D ENSs (although simpler strategies to focus the SPNPs could be used, among all those described in the bibliography) [40][41][42][43][44][45]. As a consequence, NCs manufactured by the new SDG were employed as the greenest and smallest tunable building blocks able to maximize the resolution of 3D ENSs and precisely control their physicochemical properties.…”
