How Can the Performance of Gold Nanorods be Enhanced?
Various strategies can be employed to enhance the performance of gold nanorods in catalysis:
1. Surface Modification: Coating gold nanorods with other materials, such as silica or polymers, can improve their stability and functionality. 2. Doping: Incorporating other metals or elements into the gold nanorods can enhance their catalytic properties and reduce costs. 3. Optimizing Reaction Conditions: Fine-tuning the reaction parameters, such as temperature, pH, and light intensity, can maximize the catalytic efficiency of gold nanorods.
