•Gold nanorods (aspect ratio >20) were synthesized with a modified seeding method.•Longer nanorods grow at higher surfactant concentrations.•Surfactant self-assemblies were analyzed using small-angle X-ray scattering.•Complex formation of gold ions with HTAB micelles suppresses secondary nucleation.•Suppressing secondary nucleation is important to elongate gold nanorods.
The effects of surfactant concentration in a growth solution on the elongation of gold nanorods were examined. Gold nanorods were synthesized in solutions with different concentrations of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (HTAB): 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, and 600mM. The nanorods grown in a solution with higher surfactant concentrations were longer (aspect ratio ∼30) than those grown in that with lower concentrations (aspect ratio |
