“…Since then, a plethora of studies have dealt with the production and characterization of noble metal colloids in a wide range of sizes [2][3][4], and for a variety of applications, including catalysis [5], biolabelling [6], biosensing [7], optical switches [8], among others. Only recently, variations in nanoparticle shape have been recognized as having a strong impact on their properties, which has motivated the development of synthetical methods for the preparation of particles with various geometries, such as rods [9][10][11][12][13], wires [14][15][16], prisms [17][18][19][20][21], cubes [22][23][24] and other polyhedrons [25,26].…”
