Seed-Mediated Synthesis of Tunable-Aspect-Ratio Gold Nanorods for Near-Infrared Photoacoustic Imaging

Abstract Tunable-aspect ratio gold nanorods have been synthesized by a modified seed-mediated synthesis method. Ascorbic acid was employed as a shape controller to induce anisotropic growth, which made the aspect ratio of the synthesized gold nanorods range from 8.5 to 15.6. These nanorods possess t...
