Heterogeneous Seeded Growth:  A Potentially General Synthesis of Monodisperse Metallic Nanoparticles

One‐Nanometer‐Scale Size‐Controlled Synthesis of Monodisperse Magnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles

“…For example, Buhro and co-workers reported the synthesis of monodisperse nanoparticles of Bi, Sn, and In using Au nanoclusters as seeds. [8] In addition, monodisperse nanoparticles of Au, [9] Fe, [10] and Fe 3 O 4 [11] have been synthesized following similar procedures. Many monodisperse gold nanoparticles have been synthesized by a digestive ripening process or by surfactant exchange reactions.…”

Successive Deposition of Silver on Silver Nanoplates: Lateral versus Vertical Growth

“…[4] However, manipulation and control of the evolution of shape or morphology during seed growth remains a great challenge. Recent studies have begun to address this issue by examining the growth mechanism, and its dependence on the aforementioned parameters.…”

Pt-Cu Core-Shell and Alloy Nanoparticles for Heterogeneous NOx Reduction: Anomalous Stability and Reactivity of a Core-Shell Nanostructure

“…[16][17][18][19][20] These nanoparticles are of interest for catalytic, optical, and magnetic applications, but their synthesis and characterization are often difficult and less studied. In particular, the synthetic routes to many target structures are challenging and the exact composition and/or phase of the resulting core and shell components are often not well understood.…”
