Achieving shape control of high-quality metal nanocrystals is a critical challenge in the fabrication of bottom-up plasmonic materials. Here, we synthesize a uniquely anisotropic Ag nanocrystal shape using a modified polyol method. Single-crystalline Ag square prism nanocrystals, which possess two square facets and four rectangular facets, with uniform size distributions and a high yield ( direction. Nanocrystal growth and shape development are monitored through optical absorption spectroscopy, which reveals the localized surface plasmon resonances of the square prisms. Electrodynamic enhancement associated with the high aspect ratio shape and the potential application indicate strong near-field of these nanocrystals as optical nanoantenna in plasmonic platforms, such as surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy sensors and optoelectronic junctions.
