Synthesis of gold nano-plates by mercaptide thermolysis in poly(vinyl acetate)
Triangular gold nano-plates have been synthesized by thermal decomposition of Au(I) dodecyl-mercaptide (i.e., AuSC12H25) dissolved in poly(vinyl acetate). Such special shape was achieved because of the ability of polymer side-groups (i.e., the acetate groups) to be selectively absorbed on the most a...
