Truncated Au Decahedron by the Time Induced Truncating
Noble metal nanostructures showed unique physical and chemical properties due to their intrinsic structural characteristics, especially for Au nanostructures. In order to manipulate Au nanostructures with desired shapes, a facile hydrothermal method was used in this study. HAuCl4
was reduced by DMF or other solvent in presence of capping regent to prepare the Au nanostructures with the shape of decahedron, truncated decahedron, nanoplate and so on. A perfect decahedron has been obtained and was systematically characterized. In addition, the effects of HAuCl4
concentration and capping reagent to the process were investigated.
