Issued without a dust jacket. -- Metal nanoparticles exhibit unique properties diverging from their bulk counterparts due to large surface area-to-volume ratios and quantum size effects. Their characteristics are highly sensitive to composition, size, and morphology, with the latter offering features difficult to achieve through simple size tuning. Recent advances have enabled precise control over nanoparticle morphology, yielding complex shapes such as polyhedrons, plates, prisms, rods, wires, hollow/porous structures, heterodimers, and branched multipods. This book compiles state-of-the-art reviews on the bottom-up synthesis of metal nanoparticles with complex morphologies, emphasizing principles underlying chemical, electrochemical, template-directed, and biosynthetic methods. Detailed discussions cover thermodynamic and kinetic factors governing morphology evolution, including nucleation, growth mechanisms, and the role of defects, additives, and reaction parameters. Theoretical models and simulations elucidate symmetry-breaking mechanisms in metals like silver, gold, and platinum, which crystallize in face-centered cubic structures. The text also explores morphology-dependent properties and applications: catalysis and electrocatalysis exploiting high-energy facets; localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPR) and their enhancements in sensing, spectroscopy, and biomedical applications; shape-anisotropic magnetic nanoparticles for data storage and biomedicine; thermoelectric efficiencies of low-dimensional nanoparticles; and ordered/nonordered superstructures for nanophotonics, membranes, and advanced devices. Bridging experimental breakthroughs with theoretical descriptions, the book addresses the physicochemical basis of morphology control, nanoparticle assemblies, and their transformative impact on catalysis, photonics, optoelectronics, sensing, and information storage.
