Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis of silver nanostructures with controlled shapes and properties.
TL;DR: This work selectively produced pentagonal nanowires, cuboctahedra, nanocubes, nanobars, bipyramids, and nanobeams of silver with a solution-phase polyol synthesis by controlling the crystallinity of the seeds from which nanostructures grow and the rate of atomic addition to seeds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanistic study on the replacement reaction between silver nanostructures and chloroauric acid in aqueous medium.
Yugang Sun,Younan Xia +1 more
TL;DR: This work has enabled us to prepare metal nanostructures with controllable geometric shapes and structures, and thus optical properties (for example, the surface plasmon resonance peaks could be readily shifted from 500 to 1200 nm by controlling the ratio between Ag and HAuCl(4)).
Journal ArticleDOI
Modifying the Surface Properties of Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles through A Sol−Gel Approach
TL;DR: In this article, a sol−gel approach for the coating of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles with uniform shells of amorphous silica is described, which can be applied to particles contained in a commercial ferrofluid (e.g., the EMG 304 of Ferro-fluidics) and those synthesized through a wet chemical process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immuno Gold Nanocages with Tailored Optical Properties for Targeted Photothermal Destruction of Cancer Cells
Jingyi Chen,Danling Wang,Jiefeng Xi,Leslie Au,Andy Siekkinen,Addie Warsen,Zhi-Yuan Li,Hui Zhang,Younan Xia,Xingde Li +9 more
TL;DR: The preliminary photothermal results suggest that this new class of bioconjugated gold nanostructures, immuno gold nanocages, can potentially serve as an effective photothermal therapeutic agent for cancer treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maneuvering the Surface Plasmon Resonance of Silver Nanostructures through Shape-Controlled Synthesis
Benjamin J. Wiley,Sang Hyuk Im,Zhi-Yuan Li,Joeseph McLellan,and Andrew R. Siekkinen,Younan Xia +5 more
TL;DR: With a series of discrete dipole approximation (DDA) calculations, each of a distinctive morphology, it is illustrated how shape control can tune the optical properties of silver nanostructures.
