Article Title: Variations in CTAC batches from different suppliers highly affect the shape yield in seed-mediated synthesis of gold nanotriangles

doi: 10.1038/s41598-023-50337-4

Figure Lengend Snippet: TEM images of primary ( a – c ) and intermediate ( d – f ) seeds (scale bars are 50 and 20 nm, respectively). The captions indicate utilized CTAC batches (from Molekula, Fluka, and Sigma-Aldrich powder). The anisotropic shapes (cubes, triangles etc.) in aged PS samples are highlighted in yellow. Variation in image contrast of IS indicates the presence of planar defects, which are especially visible in ( f ) as highlighted by yellow.

Article Snippet: The formation of anisotropic shapes in the aged samples of primary seeds together with the higher yield of nanotriangles for Molekula and Fluka CTAC may be caused by non-controlled halide contamination of the batches.

Figure Lengend Snippet: SEM images of the crude mixtures ( a – g ) formed using 100 μL of intermediate seeds in CTAC solutions prepared from varied batches as indicated by the captions. The scale bars are 100 nm. The numbers in the lower right corners indicate the triangle yield (%) based on 1150 counts on average for each sample. STEM micrograph of a representative sample ( h ) demonstrates the by-product structure as highlighted in yellow. The graph ( i ) shows the correlation between the ratios of triangle to by-product peak intensities (UV–VIS in Fig. ) and the shape yield (SEM) in the crude mixtures formed from varied CTAC batches.

Figure Lengend Snippet: UV–VIS spectra of the crude mixtures formed in Acros (( a ) 80 μL of IS) and Molekula (( b ) 100 μL of IS) CTAC solutions with the varied I – concentration and its addition order, and normalized spectra for the corresponding purified samples ( c ). The dotted lines indicate previously determined peak positions for the samples from the same volume of IS.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Cytotoxicity against CTAC cells mediated by PBMC. The cytotoxicity of the PBMCs collected from the untreated group of dogs had no significant change between before and after administration. On the contrary, there was a significant increase in the PBMC cytotoxicity of the natto-treated group after administration when compared to that before administration at E:T ratios of 6:1, 3:1, and 1:1. Before: before administration, after: after administration. Data represent mean ± SE. * p < 0.05 versus before administration.
