Controlling the formation of fast-growing silver nanocubes in non-polar solvents

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: formation of HCl, which leads to an undefined chloride content, are revealed. A high reproducibility is achieved by controlling the amount of Fe(III) ions and adding a stable Cl source. Thoroughly investigating and combining the effects of chloride concentration with temperature and oxidative etching allows for adjusting the edge length of the nanocubes in the range of 40 to 100 nm and improving their uniformity. These findings lead to a robust protocol for producing non-polar silver nanocubes with sharp edges, low polydispersity, tunable size, and thus tunable optical properties in a short reaction time.
