Depletion force optimization for high-purity gold nanotriangles prepared using different growth methods

Abstract

The high purity of the gold nanotriangles produced using the seedless growth method required a larger depletion force than the seed-mediated grown gold nanoparticles.

“…Among the various gold nanomaterials available, we selected gold nanorods and triangular gold nanoprisms, as they can be easily produced using several well-developed and scalable methods. 18,68–70 Further, as their surfaces can be manipulated and tuned with a variety of coating shells, 18,35 they are optimal candidates for enzyme immobilization. This choice allows studying nanomaterials with distinct properties, specifically the sharp edges of nanoprisms and the smooth surfaces of nanorods.…”
