“…Gold nanoparticles, in particular, are of interest, mainly due to their stability under atmospheric conditions, resistance to oxidation and biocompatibility (3)(4)(5)(6). These unique properties can potentially be exploited in a diverse range of industrial applications using their optical and electronic properties in optics, electronics, medical diagnostics and treatments, sensors and coatings (3,4,7).…”

“…The understanding of the synthesis, processing, assembly and activation is geared towards the exploration of nanostructured catalysts. For more comprehensive overviews of gold nanoparticles in catalysis, readers are referred to several recent reviews and articles, including those in earlier issues of Gold Bulletin (3)(4)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13).…”

Abstract. This paper describes recent progress of an investigation of the synthesis, processing, assembly and activation of gold nanoparticles that are of potential interest to fuel cell catalysis. Core-shell type gold nanoparticles of a few nanometer core size with organic monolayer encapsulation are highlighted. The activation of the core-shell nanoparticle assemblies towards nanostructured catalyst for potential fuel cell catalytic reactions is discussed. The understanding of the control factors in terms of nanocrystal size and interparticle spatial properties has important implications to the design of highly active nanogold catalysts for practical applications.

Photochemical synthesis of gold nanoparticles by the sunlight radiation using a seeding approach

et al. 2004

A novel photochemical synthesis of colloidal gold particles has been studied based on a seed-mediated growth approach under the UV solar radiation on plateau. In the HAuCl4 solution containing certain amounts of protective agent and acetone, the colloidal gold particles with 5 nm (=0.86) in average diameter were prepared by UV 300 nm irradiation and used as seeds, their further growth then was carried out in the identical constituent solutions under the UV solar radiation. The results showed that to control the molar ratio of seed to Au(III) ion and use repetitive seeds can obtain different sized and surface-confined gold nanoparticles, and it is completely possible to utilize the UV solar radiation on the plateau with the higher elevation for the size-controlled synthesis of monodisperse gold nanoparticles under suitable conditions. The mechanism of the nucleation, growth and stabilization of gold particles were discussed in detail.
