Synthesis of Gold Nanorods: Avoiding Common Pitfalls ...
Gold nanorods (Figure 1), a particular subset of plasmonic nanoparticles, are of interest for biomedical applications due to their tunability in the nearinfrared (NIR) light spectrum and biological inertness. 17–20 There are numerous techniques for the synthesis of gold nanorods, including templating, 21–25 electrochemical growth, 26–28 ...
