Size and geometric control of nanomaterials are important to the discovery of intrinsic size/shape dependent properties and bottom up approaches for the fabrication of functional nanodevices.[1–10] Two general strategies have been employed to create size-uniform nanocrystals. One method is direct particle size control during synthesis by adjusting growth parameters;[1–3, 5, 7–9] the other is post-synthesis separation.[11–19] Much capacity exists to improve size separation efficacy in the latter case. Differential centrifugation can remove large and unstable particles from colloidal systems, but lacks precise control over particle size.[9, 11] Addition of adjustable amounts of “anti-solvent”[19](including CO2)[12] into colloidal systems may make precipitation processes more controllable. Other methods include filtration [14](including diafiltration [15]), electrophoresis,[16, 17] and chromatographic methods [11, 18] that can produce particle fractions with narrow shape and size distributions.To maintain or improve the quality of nanoparticle (NP) separation, whilst addressing the issues of adhesion and clogging in liquid–solid phase separation processes, a completely liquid phase separation method is highly appealing. Isopycnic centrifugation, which is often used for biomacro-molecule separation,[20] relies upon a density gradient and ultracentrifugation to separate components according to subtle density differences, and has been applied for diameter and electronic-dependent separation of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT).[13, 21] However, the isopycnic density-gradient centrifugation method reaches a limitation when it is extended to the separation of metal nanoparticles. Such a method requires that the components for separation have densities within a gradient range. Aqueous density gradient media usually have densities less than 1.4 gcm− 3, which is much less than the density of metal nanoparticles. Size or shape separation of such heavy nanocrystals remains an issue, both in their preparation and utility for various applications.
