Abstract:
A microfluidic setup for the photochemical nucleation and growth of silver nanoparticles with controlled morphologies is described. The combination of microstructured reactors and efficient LED illumination speeds the growth process up and enhances the shape-wise homogeneity of the produced nanostructures.
