A one-step seeded growth process has been developed for the synthesis of Au nanoparticles with tunable diameters from ~10 nm to ~200 nm. The delicately designed growth system suppresses self-nucleation by stabilizing a concentrated growth solution with strong coordinating ligands, leading to precise size control and convenient, scalable fabrication of Au nanoparticles.
