In a typical Si nanorod reaction, 2.7 mmol of trisilane and 0.067 mmol of 2 nm Au nanocrystals dispersed in 1.2 mmol of dodecylamine were combined in a syringe and injected into degassed, anhydrous squalane at 420°C. The heating mantle was removed, and the solution was allowed to cool to room temperature. The Si nanorods were separated from the raw solution by centrifugation and washed by reprecipitating the nanorods from 1 mL of chloroform.
