“…The intrinsic properties of the metal nanostructures can be tuned by controlling their shape, size, and crystallinity. To date, many approaches have been developed to prepare Ag nanostructures in different shapes, like wires [17][18][19][20], belts [21], rice [22], ribbons [23], prisms [24], sheets [25,26], cubes [27], and others [28][29][30][31][32]. Recently, extensive interest has been expressed in the synthesis of more complex hierarchical structures that are ideally composed of nanocrystals (particles, rods, ribbons, sheets, and so forth) arranged in a particular way as well as their growth mechanism.…”
