Abstract

The aim of this research was to establish a reliable chemical synthesis route to produce plasmonic gold micro-bars. Gold micro-bars have been synthesized through chemical reduction in the presence of surfactants: polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and sodium dodecylsulfonate (SDS), and in the presence of a metal cation. Synthesis was executed by varying the concentration of PVP and SDS, and introducing copper ions, and performing seeded growth. Resulting plasmonic gold micro-bars were viewed under dark field microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to visualize the nanoparticle product mixture. Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) was used to determine composition of the micro-bars. The results indicate that the copper additive method yields the longest micro-bars.
