First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of preparing coated nanorods comprising:
- coating gold nanorods with silver to obtain Au@Ag nanorods;
thenfurther applying an overcoat of SiO2 to obtain Au@Ag@SiO2 nanorods; and
thenfunctionalizing the Au@Ag@SiO2 nanorods with a material to make them more hydrophobic.

Abstract
Coating gold nanorods with silver and then SiO2 enables tuning of the plasmon resonance wavelength and renders them amenable to functionalization for stability in nonpolar solvents.
