Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are widely used in various applications, such as biological delivery, catalysis, and others. In this report, we present a novel synthetic method to prepare mesoporous hemisphere gold nanoparticles (MHAuNPs)
via
electrochemical reduction reaction with the aid of polymeric micelle assembly as a pore-directing agent.
Mesoporous hemisphere Au nanoparticles using self-assembled micelles, for the first time, are demonstrated by using electrochemical reduction on a Ti substrate.
