This contrasted with the conformal surface layers formed on AuNRs during LP-TEM or white light photodeposition (Figure ). Moreover, the AuNRs did not change shape in response to the radiolysis products, strongly suggesting these species did not contribute to the conformal silver shell deposition or particle reshaping shown in Figures and. As further evidence that reducing radicals did not dominate the LP-TEM observations, we observed categorically different metal deposition behavior in moisture contaminated samples.
