Gold is considered as an inert metal and ranks as one of the noblest among all the metals. Progressive importance associated with nanotechnology offers potential development of new methods and controlled morphologies of the anisotropic gold nanostructures to develop its innovative properties and commensurate applications. The unique gold nanostructures are considered for their potential applications in various fields due to their large surface area, excellent adhesion properties and resistance to corrosion. In this review, we will present recent developments for gold nanorings and nanotubes, under the headings of synthesis, properties and potential applications in various fields.
