Figure 2. — The first row shows simple gold nanostructures: (from left to right) sphere, rod, polygon, bipyramid and star. The second row depicts nanoscale assemblies based on gold: (from left to right) nanocage, branched nanoparticles, nanohelices, self-assembled layers of gold nanoparticles on surfaces, nanoclusters. The third row shows hybrid nanoscale systems based on gold: (from left to right) silica particles with a gold nanocore, gold nanoparticles inside a polymer vesicle, metalorganic structures encapsulating gold nanoparticles, graphene-conjugated gold nanoparticles and gold nanoparticles with quantum dots.
