  • METHOD FOR CONTROLLED GROWTH OF NANOCRYSTALS
    Publication number: 20230313412
    Abstract: A method of site-selective growth of a nanocrystal from an anisotropic seed can include immersing an anisotropic seed functionalized with a ligand in a growth solution having a nanocrystal precursor, a complexing agent, and a reducing agent to form a growth solution, wherein an amount of the reducing agent and/or any amount of the complexing agent is selected to define a supersaturation of the growth solution that is sufficient for overcoming an energy barrier of one or more selected regions of the functionalized seed to selectively growth the nanocrystal at the one or more selected regions.
