Size Controlled Synthesis of 2-6 nm Gold Nanoparticles via Controlling Concentration of the Reducing Agent and Temperature

Article Preview

Abstract:

We reported a facile synthesis route for size controlled preparation of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) by controlling concentration of the reducing agent and temperature. Nearly monodisperse Au NPs with mean diameters of 2-6 nm are acquired via the reduction of HAuCl4 by NaBH4 in the presence of tri-n-octyl amine and dodecanethiol in solvent of toluene. Results indicate that concentration of the reducing agent and temperature are key factors to tune the particle size and uniformity in the synthesis of Au NPs. The as-synthesized Au NPs show size dependent surface plasmonic properties between 510 and 525 nm, while Au NPs with size smaller than 3 nm do not clearly show the property.
