Abstract:The precise and selective modification of the silica shell on the anisotropic structures of gold nanorods (AuNRs) is crucial for advancing their applications in areas such as catalysis, sensing, and directional self-assembly. However, a limitation of existing methods to synthesize patched silica shells on the sides of AuNRs is that they require the introduction of polymeric blocking ligands. Herein, we present a novel method for synthesizing polymer-free, side-silicapatched AuNRs (PF/side-SiO 2 AuNRs). Utilizi… Show more
