Shape-controlled synthesis of metal nanostructures has attracted intensive interest in the last several years because variation in morphologies of nanoparticles provides an effective means to fine tailor their properties.Various solution-phase chemical reactions have achieved great success in preparing metal nanoplates with the assistance of surfactant molecules,for instance,polymeric chains (e.g.,polyvinyl pyrrolidone) or PVP, polyamine), micellar assemblies (e.g.,cetyltrimethylammonium bromide or CTAB, di(2-ethyl-hexyl) sulfosuccinate or AOT), coordinating ligands,biological reagents, etc.
