title: Facile electrodeposition of flower like gold nanostructures on a conducting polymer support.
abstract: Herein, we report an attractive, simple and templateless synthetic method for the formation of anisotropic gold nanostructures. Gold 'mesoflowers' consisting of arrays of nanoplatelets were synthesized by electrochemical gold deposition on/off conditions onto a conducting poly(diphenylamine) (PDPA) support matrix. A possible forming mechanism of anisotropic gold nanostructures is presented. The electronic and electrochemical properties of gold nanoflower decorated PDPA in an assembled diode configuration were evaluated.
