Abstract

Abstract:

Triangular gold nanoplates were successfully prepared through a room-temperature aquatic biosythetic route mediated by tobacco mosaic virus. The viruses treated with alkali were used as reducing agent and co-structure-directing agent. The structure and optical properties of gold nanoplates were characterized by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED) and ultraviolet-visible spectroscope. The as-prepared triangular gold nanoplates are (111)-oriented single crystals. The edge length of the triangular gold nanoplates ranges from 40 to 120 nm and the thickness is about 15 nm. The gold nanoplates have two typical surface plasmonic resonance absorption peaks in the visible light region, which endows them with promising applications in the field of imaging, biosensing and catalysis.
