Gold Nanocages: Engineering Their Structure for Biomedical Applications

TL;DR: The galvanic replacement reaction between a Ag template and HAuCl4 in an aqueous solution transforms 30-200 mn Ag nanocubes into Au nanoboxes and nanocages as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

⁶⁴Cu-Doped PdCu@Au Tripods: A Multifunctional Nanomaterial for Positron Emission Tomography and Image-Guided Photothermal Cancer Treatment

TL;DR: A facile synthesis of radiolabeled PdCu@Au core-shell tripods for use in positron emission tomography (PET) and image-guided photothermal cancer treatment by directly incorporating radioactive (64)Cu atoms into the crystal lattice is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Toward the Synthesis of Sub-15 nm Ag Nanocubes with Sharp Corners and Edges: The Roles of Heterogeneous Nucleation and Surface Capping.

TL;DR: A polyol method for the facile synthesis of Ag nanocubes having sharp corners and edges, together with edge lengths below 15 nm is reported, which will open the door to an array of applications in plasmonics, catalysis, and biomedicine.
Journal ArticleDOI

Controlled Etching as a Route to High Quality Silver Nanospheres for Optical Studies

TL;DR: In this paper, a new method based on wet etching for the production of high quality, single-crystal Ag nanospheres was presented, where the sharp corners and edges were truncated to form rounded nanocubes or further etch further to obtain the same diameter as the original cubes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Use of Electroless Silver as the Substrate in Microcontact Printing of Alkanethiols and Its Application in Microfabrication

TL;DR: In this article, an elastomeric stamp was used to create smooth mirrors of silver that could be used as substrates for microcontact printing of alkanethiols.
