In this study, we demonstrate that mixed reverse micelles are good candidates to be used as nanoreactors for formation of shape-controlled high-quality colloidal nanocrystals and nanowires under mild conditions. Manipulation of the rate of nucleation and subsequent growth of the Au in the mixed reverse micelles induce drastic changes in the particle shape and structure. Here we demonstrate that control of the nucleation and growth kinetics of the Au in the mixed reverse micelles can be used to vary the shapes of the resulting particles from a nearly spherical morphology to cylinders, trigons and cubics. The characterization of the resultant particles, the effects of synthesis conditions (such as concentration of NaCl, addition of glycerol, and reaction temperature) on particle sizes, particle size distribution, and shape of particle formation have been investigated. This study will help us to understand the chemical control synthesis of crystal growth processes at the atomic level. (C) 2004 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
