Tailoring Nanoparticle Morphology to Match Application: Growth under Low-Intensity Polychromatic Light Irradiation Governs the Morphology and Optical Properties of Silver Nanoparticles

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are incredibly versatile nanostructures that present a broad spectrum of applications, from nanomedicine to advanced optoelectronic materials. All AgNP properties strongly depend on nanoparticle size and shape. However, controlling these parameters in a cost-effective way is still a challenge. In this scenario, this study presents a modification of a classical two-step seed-mediated synthesis for photoinduced control...
