Abstract

A comparative study of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) growth employing cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) adsorbent was performed. Au nanooctahedrons transformed into slightly truncated nanocubes without centrifugation, whereas they transformed into nanocubes with centrifugation. Our results indicate that the mass transfer of Au monomers can influence the shape evolution of NPs.
