Growing Gold Nanostars on SiO<sub>2</sub> Nanoparticles: Easily Accessible, NIR Active Core–Shell Nanostructures from PVP/DMF Reduction

A new synthesis strategy towards gold-coated silica nanoparticles is presented. The method provides an efficient, reliable and facile-coating process of well-defined star-shaped shell structures, characterized by UV-Vis, TEM, PXRD, DLS and zeta-potential measurements. A marked red shift of the Au-ba...
