A centrifuge-based stepwise chemical loading disc for the production of multiplex anisotropic metallic nanoparticles

We have proposed a novel rotary microdevice in which multiplex anisotropic metallic nanoparticles (NPs) can be synthesized under diverse conditions in a high-throughput manner. In this study, by tuning the concentration of ascorbic acid (AA) as a control solution, the shape evolution from hexagon to tripod of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) was achieved.
