Polymer Based Synthesis
• In an attempt to create more uniform distribution of nanorods, the polymer PEI (polyethyleneimine) was added to the solution in a haphazard fashion.
•Surprisingly, this resulted in high quality nanorods with very little “junk”. The idea came from a paper which used this process on aligned nanowire films.
•We have found that in our solution synthesis, which I would refer to as a spatially uniform synthesis, this polymercan produce tapered nanorods with very little amorphous “junk”.
