Seed mediated growth offers several advantages over other synthesis methods. Firstly, it provides precise control over the morphology and size of the resulting nanoparticles. Secondly, it allows for the synthesis of a wide variety of nanostructures, including rods, spheres, cubes, and more complex shapes. Additionally, this method can be used to produce multifunctional nanoparticles by varying the composition of the seeds and the precursor materials.
