title: Ionic liquid-assisted synthesis of thorned gold plates comprising three-branched nanotip arrays.
abstract: Hierarchically structured, thorned gold plates comprising regular, three-branched nanotip arrays were synthesized by a facile, one-pot reduction process in mixed solvents of the ionic liquid [BMIM][PF(6)] and formamide without additives.
