Biological Routes to Gold Nanoplates

Xie, Jianping; Lee, Jim Yang; Wang, Daniel I.C.; Ting, Yen Peng (2007-01)

Gold nanoplates are promising for optical and electronic applications; but their synthesis is complex, often requiring a seeded growth process or spherical to triangle morphology transformation. We have discovered a ...
Preparation of DNA-Functionalised CdSe/ZnS Quantum Dots

Pong, Boon Kin; Trout, Bernhardt L.; Lee, Jim Yang (2007-01)

We functionalised core-shell CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDots) with short-chain 3-mercaptopropionic acid (3MPA) to render these nanocrystalline semiconductor water-soluble. The ligand-exchange reaction was significantly improved ...
Simple and Versatile Route to the Synthesis of Anisotropic Bimetallic Core-Shell and Monometallic Hollow Nanostructures: Ag (AgCl)-Pt Core-Shell Nanocubes and Pt Nanoboxes

Tan, Yen Nee; Wang, Daniel I.C.; Lee, Jim Yang (2007-01)

We report herewith a simple and versatile route for the preparation of anisotropic Ag(AgCl)-Pt core-shell nanocubes and Pt nanoboxes. The core-shell nanocubes were first synthesized through the simultaneous reduction method ...
