Chem Commun (Camb). 2010 Oct 14;46(38):7142-4. doi: 10.1039/c0cc00218f. Epub 2010 Aug 25.

Abstract

Monodisperse gold nanocrystals with unique near-infrared optical properties were synthesized by simple mixing of highly shortened and well disperse single-walled carbon nanotubes and chloroauric acid in water at ambient conditions with a step-wise increase of gold ion concentration.
