ABSTRACT The preparation of colloidal gold is a subject of practical interest in many technological fields. It is generally accomplished by reduction of HAuCl4 solution with sodium citrate which is known to be influenced by several factors such as temperature and reactants concentration. In the course of the present investigation, the rate of addition of sodium citrate was observed to play a very important role on the particle size distribution. This aspect has not, to our knowledge, been…

Antimicrobial Activity of Gold Nanoparticles and Ionic Gold

It is found that AuNPs are generally not bactericidal, or only weakly at high concentrations, but may be bactericidal due to the bactericidal activity of co-existing chemicals not completely removed from AuNPS: gold ions, surface coating agents, and chemicals involved in the synthesis.

Size-dependent catalytic properties of Au nanoparticles supported on hierarchical nickel silicate nanostructures.

The experimental results proved that the size of AuNPs played an important role in enhancing the catalytic activity, and the hierarchically nanostructured material can be a promising candidate as the catalytics support.
