چکیده

A commercially available detergent was found to be an effective reducing as well as stabilizing agent for the synthesis of differently shaped gold nanoparticles in an aqueous solution at an ambient condition and the as-prepared gold nanoparticles behave as an efficient catalyst for the reduction reaction of 4-nitrophenol at room temperature.

Shape-tailoring and catalytic function of anisotropic gold nanostructures

We report a facile, one-pot, shape-selective synthesis of gold nanoparticles in high yield by the reaction of an aqueous potassium tetrachloroaurate(III) solution with a commercially available detergent. We prove that a commercial detergent can act as a reducing as well as stabilizing agent for the synthesis of differently shaped gold nanoparticles in an aqueous solution at an ambient condition...

Application of Molybdophosphoric Acid as Reducing Agent/ Stabilizer in the Synthesis of Gold Nanoparticles under UV Irradiation

In this paper, we have described the size-controlled synthesis of gold nanoparticles based on the reduction of Au3+ (HAuCl4 ) using molybdophosphoric acid (H3[PMo12O40 ], HPMo) under UV-irradiation. In the process, HPMo plays the role of photocatalyst, reducing agent and stabilizer and propan-2-ol acts as a sacrificial agent. This method allows the synthesis of uniform hexagonal nanoparticles w...
