abstract = {This chapter highlights the synthetic aspects that generally remain in the shadows in order to provide the scientific community with a user-friendly guide for the production of gold nanorods. The mechanism behind the formation of gold nanorods is still a matter of much interest because a general mechanistic model would allow us to identify specific guidelines for the design of a synthetic pathway for each nanostructure. Gold nanorod synthesis requires both thermodynamic and kinetic control, which significantly increases the number of parameters that should be taken into account. The historical turning point in the development of efficient nanorod wet synthesis methods was the introduction of the so-called seeded growth protocol, where nucleation is performed separately to prepare the seeds, which are subsequently added to the growth solution for nanorod production. The growth of gold nanorods is characterized in general by a slow kinetics, meaning that several hours are needed to complete particle growth.},

abstract = {Anisotropic (nonspherical) metal nanoparticles are of widespread research interest because changing the shape of metals at the nanoscale can provide access to materials with unique optical, electronic, and catalytic properties. This chapter examines recent progress in elucidating and articulating the role halide ions play in seeded growth with particular emphasis on gold nanoparticles. It discusses the effect of halide ions on the anisotropic growth of metal nanocrystals. Although, the chapter mainly focus on gold, nanocrystals of silver, platinum, or palladium are also be included, as their formation has also been reported to be strongly influenced by halides. It reviews several examples where halides have been specifically reported to direct anisotropic growth and discusses whether the presence of halides is strictly necessary for these shapes to occur. Over the past few decades, anisotropic metal nanocrystals have been prepared by a variety of synthetic approaches, which have become increasingly convenient while providing ever more precise control over nanoparticles shape.},

abstract = {This chapter describes an approach toward the rational development of functional nanomaterials (or nanodevices). It focuses on a “study case” that represents a good example. The example comprises methodologies and experimental pros and cons that can be applied to other projects. Generally speaking, people can identify four distinct stages involved in the development of a nanodevice, but they are all strongly interconnected: the output of one stage is used as input for the next one. They are formulation/refining of a starting idea or hypothesis, which requires devising a specific system, fabrication of the different components and their assembly into the desired structure, systematic and detailed characterization of the produced materials, and interpretation of the experimental data on the basis of existing or new theory. These four stages can be organized in a cycle, where each “round” represents a step forward toward the design of a new functional material.},
