Method for Preparing Metal Nanocube with Controlled Corner Sharpness Index

Abstract:

The present invention relates to a method for preparing a metal nanocube with a controlled corner sharpness index, comprising a step of reacting with a first surfactant and a predetermined surface-protecting agent; a method for preparing a metal nanocube aggregate having a purity of 95% or more, comprising a step of centrifuging in the presence of a second surfactant; a probe composition comprising the metal nanocube or metal nanocube aggregate prepared by the method; and a gold (Au) nanocube having an average edge length of 20 nm or less.
