Abstract:
Various nanoparticle surface layers allow unique functionalities. We developed a coating method with tetracyanoquinodimethane that forms solid layers through π stacking on gold nanorod surfaces. Its reaction mechanism was investigated with reaction time, aging time and surfactant concentration. Our method could be generalizable to different nanoparticle shapes and crystal facets.
