Abstract:
A photochemical method is used to grow Au nanoplates in high yield from in situ generated Au cluster seeds through the galvanic replacement reaction. The morphology of nanoplates can be further controllably tuned by adjusting the pH, and enhanced morphology determined non-linear optics performances are obtained.
