Shape-controlled synthesis of octahedral gold nanocrystals in the Poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) matrix via reduction of HAuCl4

Yamamoto M, Kashiwagi Y, Sakata T, Mori H, Nakamoto M

Single-crystalline octahedral gold nanocrystals bounded by (111) facets were obtained as a major product via the reduction of HAuCl4 in poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) matrix by the control of the heating temperatures and PVP/Au ratios.
