Shape-Controlled Metal Nanoparticles and Their Assemblies with Optical Functionalities

Metal nanoparticles (NPs) possess excellent optical, optoelectronic, and optochemical properties based on their surface plasmon resonance. However, for practical use, the morphology and assembly of metal NPs need to be controlled. Here, we review facile control methods including seed-mediated growth...
