The synthesis of anisotropic nanoparticles involves techniques that control the growth and shape of the particles. Common methods include:
Seed-mediated growth - Involves using small seed particles to nucleate and grow larger particles in specific shapes. Template-assisted synthesis - Uses templates to guide the formation of nanoparticles in desired shapes. Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) - A process where gaseous reactants form solid materials on a substrate in controlled shapes.
