Abstract:Background:
Synthesis of spherical silver nanoparticles is mostly reported but the use of DNA, especially short oligonucleotides, to mediate the production of anisotropic AgNPs is still questioned.
Objective:
This work aims to use 30-mer oligo(dA) and oligo(dC) (or A30 and C30) to assist the formation of anisotropic AgNPs under blue LED irradiation.
Method:
We reported a simple synthesis reaction containing AgNO3, A30 (or C30), and sodium borohydride, which were exposed to 460 nm LED light for 24 h. The ob… Show more
