The effects of different temperatures and different solution components (introduction of I^-) on the gold nanotetrapods (GNTPs) reshaping process were investigated, revealing that the GNTPs reshaping mechanism is Ostwald ripening, that is, the dissolution of weakly bound surface atoms of Au at areas with high convex curvature and re-deposition at concave areas. This reshaping process can be stopped at any time in a few seconds by a thin layer of silver coating, and the morphology of GNTPs can be well stabilized to the greatest extent, thereby also preventing the evolution of optical properties. On this basis, the stability of GNTPs/Ag was further investigated by ultraviolet-visible-near-infrared (UV-Vis-NIR) absorption spectroscopy and synchrotron-based small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), as well as GNTPs/Ag results in an optical response, which is demonstrated by surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy.
