Abstract
None:
Improvements to published reports of the seed-mediated synthesis of silver nanorods (AgNRs) are reported. These improvements include the application of a depletion purification process to facilitate the assignment of the transverse surface plasmon resonances (TSPR) of AgNRs and access to increased lengths of the AgNRs by increasing the solubility of the reaction intermediate, CTA-Ag-Br.
