Hydroquinone Based Synthesis of Gold Nanorods [PDF]
Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2016 Gold nanorods are an important kind of nanoparticles characterized by peculiar plasmonic properties. Despite their widespread use in nanotechnology, the synthetic methods for the preparation of gold nanorods are still not fully optimized. In this paper we describe a new, highly efficient, two-step protocol based on the use of hydroquinone as a mild ...
