Enlarged view of individual AuNPs showing different geometric shapes and their diagrammatic representations with dimensions. d Spherical (left) and rhomboidal (right) of small size range. e From left: hexagonal, equilateral triangular, rhomboidal, polyhedral, and isosceles triangularBack to article page
