This Feature Article provides an overview of current research on the synthesis and properties of silver nanoplates. Starting from a brief description of the origin of the optical properties of Ag nanoparticles and the factors affecting them, we introduce the numerical methods used for modelling-discrete dipole approximation (DDA) and boundary element method (BEM)-and present a comparative study between theoretical predictions and experimental results. Then, the principal physical and wet-chemical synthetic protocols that have been used to obtain Ag nanotriangles/nanoplates in high yield are described, with a discussion of the formation mechanisms proposed by the different authors. Subsequently, the structural characterization of the particles is described, followed by a section devoted to the reactivity and stability of silver nanoplates. We conclude with a description of potential applications in the field of biological and chemical sensors and surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS).
