Anisotropic nanoparticles can provide considerable opportunities for assembly of nanomaterials with unique structures and properties. However, most reported anisotropic nanoparticles are either difficult to prepare or to functionalize. Here we report a facile one-step solution-based method to prepare anisotropic DNA-functionalized gold nanoparticles (a-DNA-AuNP) with 96% yield and with high DNA density (120 ± 20 strands on the gold hemisphere). The method is based on the competition between a th ...[more]
