In
nanotechnology, nanorods are one morphology of nanoscale objects. Each of their dimensions range from 1–100
nm. They may be synthesized from metals or semiconducting materials. Standard
aspect ratios (length divided by width) are 3-5. Nanorods are produced by direct
chemical synthesis. A combination of
ligands act as shape control agents and bond to different facets of the nanorod with different strengths. This allows different faces of the nanorod to grow at different rates, producing an elongated object.
