Photochemical synthesis of gold nanorods catalyzed by titanium dioxide
Gold nanorods can be synthesized by a photochemical approach. In this report, a mixture solution of HAuCl4, TiO2, HCl and ethanol was irradiated by a halogen light source. Ethanol reduced Au3+ to Au0 upon light irradiation. The TiO2 acted as both catalyst and stabilizer. TiO2 has a large band gap, w...
