  5. Why we need nanorods? • Limitations of nanospheres S. Eustis, M. A. El-Sayed, Chem. Soc. Rev.2006, 35, 209-217

  6. Synthesis of metal nanoparticles • Bottom up method--assemble atoms to nanostructures 1. Nanosphere lithography. 2. Templating, chemical, electrochemical, sonochemical, thermal and photochemical reduction techniques. • Top down method--cut into pieces in nanoscale 1. Photolithography 2. Electron beam lithography

  7. Synthesis of metal nanoparticles • Nanosphere lithography W. Huang, W. Qian, M. A. El-Sayed, Proc. SPIT Int. Soc. Opt. Eng.2005, 5927, 592701

  8. Synthesis of metal nanoparticles • Citrate Reduction Method Turkevitch in 1951 sodium citrate + HAuCl4

  9. Synthesis of metal nanoparticles • Two Phase Reactions • Inverse Micelles General idea of chemical method: reduction + capping

  10. Synthesis of gold nanorods • Seed-mediated method • Two steps: produce seed particles + seed grow into rod C. J. Murphy, T. K. Sau, A. M. Gole, C. J. Orendorff. J. L. Gou, S. E. Hunyadi, T. Li, J. Phys. Chem. B2005, 109, 13857-13870

  11. Synthesis of gold nanorods

  12. Synthesis of gold nanorods • Factors related to the growth 1. Seed size 2. Length of “tails” of CTAB (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide )

  13. Synthesis of gold nanorods dependence of nanorod aspect ratio on seed size

  14. Synthesis of gold nanorods Dependence of aspect ratio on length of tails of CTAB

  15. Growth mechanism of gold nanorods “Zipping” fashion formation of gold nanorods :C16TAB

  16. Growth mechanism of gold nanorods Planar density of atoms of FCC structure {111}: 0.907 {100}: 0.785 {110}: 0.555 crystallography picture of gold nanorods: pentatetradedral

  17. Growth mechanism of gold nanorods • tail contribution to the free energy formation of a bilayer on gold ΔG(10)= -29.6 kJ/mol, Δ(12)= -35.8 kJ/mol, Δ(14)= -41.9 kJ/mol,Δ(16)= -48.1 kJ/mol

  18. Growth mechanism of gold nanorods Growth mechanism of gold nanorods

  19. Synthesis of gold nanoparticles of different shapes • General idea is the same as the growth of gold nanorods (seed-mediated method) • Slightly change the conditions when growing nanorods (concentration of different reactants) • Cubes, hexagon, triangle, tetropods, branched T. K. Sau, C. J. Murphy, J. Am. Chem. Soc.2004, 126, 8648-8649

  20. Synthesis of gold nanoparticles of different shapes [AA] increases from A to C and seed concentration increases from C to D. Scale bar = 100 nm

  21. Synthesis of gold nanoparticles of different shapes TEM images showing cubic to rod-shaped gold particles produced with low AA concentration in the presence of small quantity of silver nitrate. [CTAB] is increased (A) to (B, C, D). [Au3+] decreases from B to C, and seed concentration increased form C to D. Scale bar = 100 nm

  22. Synthesis of gold nanoparticles of different shapes TEM images of brached Au nanoparticles, varying in the dimension and number of branches

  23. Synthesis of gold nanoparticles of different shapes • Summary of experimental procedure • The concentrations are interdependent • 2. Growth mechanism is similar to that of rod

  24. Advantage of water seed-mediated method • High yield • Monodisperse • Cheap, easy

  25. Other issue to consider • The nucleation process in growth of seed is still mysterious • Limitation in length and aspect ratio maximum length: ~600nm maximum aspect ratio: ~25
