Popis:	ConspectusAluminum in its nanostructured form is generating increasing interest because of its light-harvesting properties, achieved by excitation of its localized surface plasmon resonance. Compared to traditional plasmonic materials, the coinage metals Au and Ag, Al is far more earth-abundant and, therefore, more suitable for large-area applications or where cost may be an important factor. Its optical properties are far more flexible than either Au or Ag, supporting plasmon resonances that range from UV wavelengths, through the visible regime, and into the infrared region of the spectrum. However, the chemical synthesis of Al nanocrystals (NCs) of controlled size and shape has historically lagged far behind that of Au and Ag. This is partially due to the high reactivity of Al precursors, which react readily with O
