Abstract
This paper reviews recent studies on the preparation of two-dimensional (2D) metal nanostructures, particularly nanosheets. As metal often exists in the high-symmetry crystal phase, such as face centered cubic structures, reducing the symmetry is often needed for the formation of low-dimensional nanostructures. Recent advances in characterization and theory allow for a deeper understanding of the formation of 2D nanostructures. This Review firstly describes the relevant theoretical framework to help the experimentalists understand chemical driving forces for the synthesis of 2D metal nanostructures, followed by examples on the shape control of different metals. Recent applications of 2D metal nanostructures, including catalysis, bioimaging, plasmonics, and sensing, are discussed. We end the Review with a summary and outlook of the challenges and opportunities in the design, synthesis, and application of 2D metal nanostructures.

Abstract
Anisotropic gold nanostructures have attracted great attention in different fields including catalysis. Thermodynamically driven selective surface growth offers a reliable and reproducible method for anisotropic gold nanoparticle synthesis with specific morphologies. Herein, monocrystalline concave gold nano-arrows (AuCNAs) are prepared by the over-growth method using Au nanorods (AuNRs) as seeds. The as-prepared AuCNAs consist of a biconical head and four concave structures. Interestingly, silver ions (Ag+) concentration significantly affects the product morphology by tuning the peak positions of surface plasmon resonance (SPR), aspect ratio, arrow, and concave morphology of AuCNAs. The position of longitudinal SPR peaks is observed at 810, 805 and 782 nm at [Ag+]/[Au3+] molar ratios of 1:2, 1:1, and 2:1, respectively. Diameters and lengths of AuCNAs varied from 25 nm to 36 nm; 104 nm, 78 nm, and 120 nm, respectively. Additionally, the AuCNAs are applied for the catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) to 4-aminophenol (4-AP) in presence of excess NaBH4. Compared to gold nanorods (AuNRs), the prepared AuCNAs catalyst shows excellent catalytic activity, demonstrating that concave structures and sharp corners significantly enhance the catalytic activity. The value of pseudo-first-order reaction kinetic constants (kapp) increased from 0.0051 to 0.0195 s-1 with increasing catalyst valume from 7.5 to 37.5 μL. The highest normalized reaction rate constant (Knor) and turnover frequency (TOF) reach 5.84 × 104 min-1 mmol-1 and 443.47 h-1, respectively, at [Ag+]/[Au3+] ratio of 1:1 in AuCNAs catalyst. This study expands catalytic applications of anisotropic gold nanostructures and widens their potential application areas, such as surface plasmon exciton photonics, biomedical photonics, and photocatalysis.

Abstract
We report a synthetic strategy to create gold(Au)-based "sphere-on-plate" hybrid nanostructures (SPHNSs). The surface doping of plate-like Au seeds with Pt/Ag atoms is found to be crucial to increase the lattice spacing, inducing island-like deposition of Au atoms via the Volmer-Weber growth mode. The resulting products are featured with the morphology that quasi-spherical nanoparticles are scattered over the nanoplates. Due to the presence of two distinctly dimensioned particles in one entity, the current Au-based SPHNSs exhibit unique dual plasmonic absorptions, where the visible absorbance centered at 546 nm is related to the size of the anchored particles. Arising from such a plasmonic advantage, the Au-based SPHNSs exhibit enhancement in photothermal conversion under laser irradiations at the wavelengths of both 808 and 1064 nm. The current work offers a feasible route to fabricate noble metal hybrid nanostructures involving zero-dimensional (0D) and two-dimensional (2D) structures, which could work as promising materials for photothermal conversion.

Abstract
Assembling two-dimensional noble metal nanocrystals into a three-dimensional mesoporous structure is of great value to solve the re-stacking issue for the practical application, which still remains a challenging technique. Herein, we report the one-pot fabrication of gold (Au) nanostructures with a crumpled paper ball-like morphology (Au NCPBs). The success of current work relies on the use of glutathione to crumple the branched Au nanosheets formed during the early stage, into spherical three-dimensional architecture, where the nanosheets are assembled with a mesoporous structure without intimate contact. When working as the agent toward photothermal conversion, the Au NCPBs exhibit enhanced photothermal conversion efficiency (η = 19.9%), as compared to that of flat and wrinkled Au nanosheets. Such an enhancement should be owing to the aggregation-induced effect, where the shortened inter-sheet distance contributes to an increased coupling between the plasmon oscillations/fields of the interacting Au nanosheets. The present study offers a feasible strategy to create spherical architecture of crumpled Au nanosheets and validates their structural advantage in photothermal applications, which could be potentially extended to other metals or alloys.

Abstract
One of the key issues for SERS-based trace applications is engineering structurally uniform substrates with ultrasensitivity, stability, and good reproducibility. A label-free, cost-effective, and reproducible fabrication strategy of ultrasensitive SERS sensors was reported in this work. Herein, we present recent progress in self-assembly-based synthesis to elaborate precisely shaped and abundant gold nanoparticles in a large area. We demonstrated that shape control is driven by the selective adsorption of a cation (Na+, K+, and H+) on a single facet of gold nanocrystal seeds during the growth process. We studied SERS features as a function of morphology. Importantly, we found a correlation between the shape and experimental SERS enhancement factors. We observed a detection threshold of 10-20 M of bipyridine ethylene (BPE), which matches the lowest value determined in literature for BPE until now. Such novel sensing finding could be very promising for diseases and pathogen detection and opens up an avenue toward predicting which other morphologies could offer improved sensitivity.
