Gold nanorods have been successfully synthesized by the seed mediated method using Au clusters. This synthesis does not require silver ions to obtain large amounts of Au nanorods and has good control over their aspect ratio. Au clusters are produced with the same recipe as for Au seeds, but using shorter reaction times. This very simple scheme confirms the important catalytic influence of clusters in the anisotropic growth control.

Different aspect ratio (length/width) gold nanorods were prepared in aqueous solution by seeding growth method. Aspect ratio of the nanorods was controlled accurately by changing the silver ions concentration. Ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectra demonstrate the regularation that longitudinal plasmon resonance absorption wavelength of gold nanorods reveal red shift with the increase of aspect ratio. Gold nanorods were wrapped with Ag shells by chemical reduction silver ions on its surface. Different from gold nanorods, the transverse modes of the Au@Ag core-shell nanorods have two bands which contributed from the Ag and Au, respectively. On the other hand, centers of longitudinal surface plasmon of the core-shell nanorods exhibit blue shift with the Ag shell thickness increasing.

Herein, we present the formation of gold nanorods (GNRs) on novel gold–poly(methyl methacrylate) (Au–PMMA) nanocomposite substrates with unprecedented growth control through the polymer molecular weight (M w) and gold-salt-to-polymer weight ratio. For the first time, GNRs have been produced by seed-mediated direct growth on surfaces that were pre-coated with polymer-immobilised gold seeds. A Au–PMMA nanocomposite formed by UV photoreduction has been used as the gold seed. The influence of polymer M w and gold concentration on the formation of GNRs has been investigated and discussed. The polymer nanocomposite formed with a lower M w PMMA and 20 wt % gold salt provides a suitable medium for growing well-dispersed GNRs. In this sample, the average dimension of produced GNRs is 200 nm in length with aspect ratios up to 10 and a distribution of GNRs to nanoparticles of nearly 22%. Suitable characterization techniques such as AFM and SEM have been used to support concept of the proposed growth method.

Gold nanorod ribbon-like arrays as well as shape-separation effect of rods from sphere-like nanoparticles have been evaluated for identical nanorod suspension with various concentration of nanospheres. These sphere-rod mixtures are prepared with help of different amounts of AgNO3. Deposits of nanoparticles at various positions of the coffee-stain ring are observed in different arrangements. For instance, face-to-face aligned nanorods get settled in ribbon-like superstructures and these arrays are observed to be self-separated from spheres. Self-assembly and shape-separation effect are observed more systematic at the outer-edges than the inner-region of the coffee-stain ring. Experimentally, it has been observed that face-to-face formation of nanorods in suspension is energetically more probable arrangement. As the separation between two nanorods increases, the depth of potential well decreases, indicating that the upper layers of nanorods are more under the influence of lower placed nanorods than those placed in the same plane. Energetically and sterically, more feasible arrangements are observed.
