Preparation, structure and applications of noble metal nanoparticles

Noble metallic nanoparticles have been attracting significant scientific and technological interest because of their unusual optical properties as well as their novel chemical and catalytic properties. Usually, these unique properties are determined by the size and morphology of metal nanoparticles. Nonspherical particles become the focus ofstudies since they often own better properties than isotropic spherical ones and allow one to investigate how shape affects the physical and chemical properties of such structures. Considerable progress has been made on shape-controllable synthesis of noble metal nanoparticles. In this paper, the current development on shape-controllable synthesis ofnoble metal nanoparticles and application research has been reviewed.
