The invention provides a preparation method of a symmetric broken
gold nanocrystal with a controllable length-
diameter ratio based on
microwave-assisted ultrafast synthesis. According to the method, under the synergistic effect of a surfactant and a pre-synthesized gold seed,
reaction conditions are accurately controlled through key parameters such as
microwave radiation temperature, power and reaction time of a
microwave reactor, and after the reaction is completed, the
gold nanocrystal with good monodispersity and adjustable length-
diameter ratio can be obtained through centrifugal purification. Compared with a traditional wet
chemical synthesis process, the method has the advantages that the reaction time is greatly shortened to be within 1 hour; by utilizing the characteristics of instantaneity and uniformity of microwave heating, the high uniformity of the
nanocrystal size is realized; by regulating and controlling the type and the concentration of the surface
active agent, the regulation and control of the symmetrical broken morphology of the
gold nanocrystal can be realized; the length-
diameter ratio of the gold nanocrystals can be directly controlled by accurately regulating and controlling the microwave temperature, the method is easy to operate and good in
repeatability, and a novel efficient and controllable preparation way is provided for application of functional
precious metal nanomaterials.
