In this paper, we demonstrate that the Turkevich reaction can be used to obtain not only spherical gold nanoparticles of various sizes, but also nanoparticles of different morphologies. The effect of the molar ratios of citrate to HAuCl4 at various temperatures has been studied. It was found that the reagent ratio plays a significant role in defining the morphology of the gold nanosystems formed at low temperatures. This study shows that by controlling the reagent ratios and the reaction temperature of the Turkevich reaction, nano-structured gold systems with various shapes, including spheres, wires, networks, and systems comprising polygonal nanoparticles only or nanochains only, with the latter two morphologies reported for the first time, can be obtained. The gold nanosystems obtained in this fashion were characterised by transmission electron microscopy and UV–visible absorption spectroscopy.

Nanocubes, monodispersed nanocrystals and nanospheres of Au have been prepared by a simple reaction between HAuCl4·4H2O, NaOH and NH2OH·HCl in the presence of gelatin. The role of gelatin and the affection of pH in producing the nanoparticles of Au were discussed. The products were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and UV-visible absorption spectroscopy. The sizes of the monodispersed nanocrystals of Au were estimated by Debye-Scherrer formula according to XRD spectrum.

We report the synthesis of nanorods in a nonionic sugar-based water-in-oil (w/o) microemulsion system using food grade sucrose ester as biosurfactant. was formed by mixing indium (III) chloride and thioacetamide in the water core of the microemulsion system. The as-prepared yellowish was characterized by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), UV-visible absorption spectroscopy (UV-Vis), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Formation of spherical or rod-like nanomaterials was dependent on reaction time. Rod-like , arranged in bundles, was formed only after 2 days of reaction time. Upon longer aging time, a mixture of rod-like and spherical was formed. A plausible formation mechanism of the nanorods in the sucrose ester microemulsion was postulated. The diameter of the nanorods was found to be very small, which is  nm with aspect ratio of 20 : 1 (length : diameter).

Monodispersed nanotriangles of gold have been prepared by a simple reaction between HAuCl4·4H2O, KOH and NH2OH·HCl in the presence of gelatin. Gelatin played a decisive role as an inhibitor of the direct reaction of NH2OH with AuCl4- and coagulation of the growing gold in producing the triangle. In the absence of gelatin, we can only obtain irregular large gold particles. The products were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and UV-visible absorption spectroscopy.

Bicone-shaped and monodispersed nanoparticles of Cu2S have been prepared by a simple reaction between CuO suspension, NH2OH•HCl and (NH4)2S in the presence of gelatin at 5°C. The products were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and UV-visible absorption spectroscopy. The band gaps are estimated to be 1.98 eV and 2.03 eV according to the results of optical measurements of bicone-shaped and monodispersed nanoparticles of Cu2S.

FeAu/ZnO nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by nanoemulsion process with the use of poly (ethylene glycol)-block-poly (propylene glycol)-block-poly (ethylene glycol) as the surfactant. The characterization of the FeAu/ZnO nanoparticles was performed using X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and UV-visible absorption spectroscopy, showing that the polymer-laced nanoparticles reveal high crystallinity, excellent dispersibility and well defined optical performance. The process of solvent dispersion-collection of FeAu/ZnO nanoparticles indicates that the nanoparticles possess good magnetic property for applications.

Nanocrystals of ZnS have been synthesized through simple chemical precipitation method using thiourea as sulphur source. The synthesized products were annealed at different temperatures in the range of 200–800∘C. The as-synthesized and annealed samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-Visible absorption (UV-Vis), and room temperature photoluminescence (PL) measurements. The morphological features of ZnS annealed at 200 and 500∘C were studied by atomic force microscope (AFM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) techniques. The phase transformation of ZnS and formation of ZnO were confirmed by thermogravimetric (TG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) curves.
