Title: Theory of the thermodynamic influence of solution-phase additives in shape-controlled nanocrystal synthesis

Journal Article · · Nanoscale
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1039/c7nr05765b· OSTI ID:1539946

Though many experimental studies have documented that certain solution-phase additives can play a key role in the shape-selective synthesis of metal nanocrystals, the origins and mechanisms of this shape selectivity are still unclear.
