Investigation of pH Effect on Gold Nanorod Synthesis

Abstract: Gold nanorods (GNRs) are routinely prepared by the seed-mediated growth method under the assistant of surfactant CTAB and it is important to understand the factors that control the formation process of GNRs. Here we investigated systematically how the pH conditions contribute to the GNR morphology and size evolution with UV-Vis absorption spectrometry and TEM. It was found that the aspect ratio and morphology of GNRs are dependent on the pH of the growth solution. Moreover, the GNR growth pathway also varies a… Show more

“…The aspect ratio of the nanorod only reduces gradually until turning to nanospheres. This has also been proved by the TEM results in a previous work . As a result, the spectra changes are slower and more uniform during the reaction process.…”

“…Hydrogen peroxide (30% v/v) was used as the main component of the etching solution. In the etching reaction, hydrogen peroxide is used as the oxidant, and the electric potential difference between H 2 O 2 /H 2 O (E ϴ = 1.776 V) and AuBr 4 − /Au (E ϴ = 0.854 V) ensures its occurrence of the following reaction : 6H+0.16em+0.16em3normalH2normalO20.16em+0.16em2 Au 0.16em+8normalBnormalr=2 AuB r40.16em+0.16em0.33em6normalH2OThe result of this reaction is the shift of resonance scattering peak of AuNRs. Initially, we used UV‐Vis spectrometer to record the shift of plasmonic resonance peak during the etching reaction.…”

“…It remains a subject of considerable ongoing research interest how pH can be used to tune the LSPR wavelength of GNRs despite several reported researches (Busbee et al 2003;Cheng et al 2011;Ye et al 2013;Ye et al 2012;Zhu et al 2010). Fig.…”

“…The same result can be observed by increasing the amount of ligands due to earlier saturation of the Au nanorod surfaces as well as reducing the pH value by increasing the amount of hydrochloric acid. This effect can be attributed to different micelle stabilities of the CTAB micelles at different pH values [29]. SEM images of Au rods with lower and larger aspect ratios are shown in Figures 5(a) and 5(b).…”
