Novel Tin Dioxide‐Coated Gold and Silver Nanomaterials for Enhanced Solar Steam Generation

open access: yesphysica status solidi (a), Volume 223, Issue 8, 22 April 2026.
This work investigates the blended tin dioxide–encapsulated gold and silver nanorods based nanofluids designed to enhance solar steam generation efficiency. By combining plasmonic and semiconductor functionalities, the blended nanocomposites exhibit broadened light absorption, improved thermal stability, and higher photothermal conversion efficiency ...

Gold Nanowires from Nanorods

Langmuir, 2020
Gold nanowires (AuNWs) possess strong potential application in micro- and nanoelectronics as well as in plasmonic waveguides because of their low electrical resistance. However, the synthesis of pure solvent-dispersible AuNWs with full control over their length still remains a challenge.

Phospholipid−Gold Nanorod Composites

ACS Nano, 2009
Phospholipids comprise an enormous range of chemical structures that provide much of the functionality associated with cellular membranes. We have developed a simple method for incorporating phospholipids onto the surfaces of anisotropic gold nanorods as a stepping-stone for creating responsive and multifunctional nanocomposites.

Gold Nanorod Bioconjugates

Chemistry of Materials, 2005
Gold nanorods have been stabilized, conjugated to antibodies, and characterized for biological applications. The stabilizing surfactant bilayer which surrounds gold nanorods was replaced by thiol terminated methoxypoly(ethylene glycol) so that the nanorods are stable in buffer solutions free of surfactant. Nanorod bioconjugation was accomplished with a

Watching Single Gold Nanorods Grow

Small, 2012
The consecutive evolution process of single gold nanorods is monitored using atomic force microscopy (AFM). The single-crystal gold nanorods investigated are grown directly on surfaces to which gold seed particles are covalently linked. The growth kinetics for single nanorods is derived from the 3D information recorded by AFM. A better understanding of
