Abstract:
Applying Le Chatelier's principle, a one-pot synthesis method is reported that generates highly anisotropic hedgehog gold nanoparticles (HHogGNPs), undemanding of a preformed seed or surfactant. These non-toxic HHogGNPs are potent candidates for nanomedicinal applications owing to their broad-band plasmon tunability, gigantic Raman enhancement and remarkable retention in a highly salted physiological environment.
