Plasmonic Nanoparticles & Anisotropic Nanoparticles

Plasmonic Nanoparticles & Anisotropic Nanoparticles

Au and Ag nanocrystals with defined size, shape and composition have been fabricated by the simple wet-chemical method, which is one of favoured routes toward the cost-effective large scale production of metal nanostructures. Possible applications like a surface plasmon polariton laser can be investigated. In addition, such hybrid structures can be applied as model system to study the plasmon effect of metal nanoparticles on the kinetics and efficiency of photoelectrocatalysis. Special efforts have been made for the preparation of anisotropic particles, which show interesting properties in light scattering, plasmon absorption and catalysis.
