TEM is not available. Also, should sample be centrifuged or not and what dilutions are required ? Kindly guide me on this.
If you have proper SEM stub to mount the TEM grid you could use the TEM grids to prepare your sample for SEM imaging. Just drop cast your diluted gold nanoparticle solution onto the TEM grid and once it is completely dried you can mount it on the SEM stub for SEM imaging.
Dear Mudassir Khan, You can try to deposit gold into the pores of the matrix of anodic alumina. After dissolving the matrix, you will get gold nanorods.
You may want to try glass of plastic substrate (smooth), coated with carbon. If you have salts in your initial solution, it's better to wash them away using centrifuge when changing liquids. It's difficult to predict dilutions, but it's pretty easy to find a right one experimentally.

Just a little addition to Shelton Jesuraj Varapragasam post.
TEM grid should have carbon film. You can mount it using double sticky carbon tape, just pay attention that carbon film side were on top of a grid.
Vladimir Dusevich Thank you So much Sir, for your guidance and precious time that you spent in helping me.
