Shape-tailoring and catalytic function of anisotropic gold nanostructures

<p>Abstract</p> <p>We report a facile, one-pot, shape-selective synthesis of gold nanoparticles in high yield by the reaction of an aqueous potassium tetrachloroaurate(III) solution with a commercially available detergent. We prove that a commercial detergent can act as a reducing...
