title: Potential-controlled electrodeposition of gold dendrites in the presence of cysteine.
abstract: Crystalline Au dendrites were formed by electrodeposition on a glassy carbon electrode from a solution of HAuCl(4) containing cysteine. The Au dendrites possessed a hierarchical architecture with three-fold symmetry; they comprised trunks, branches, and nanorod leaves, which all grew along the <111> direction.
