Hydrogen-assisted green synthesis of trimethyl chitosan gold nanoparticles

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are arguably the most promising in terms of application among the noble metal nanoparticles. As such, researchers have dedicated a considerable amount of energy towards the synthesis of novel gold nanoparticles with different morphology and size, which in turn affect its p...

description Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are arguably the most promising in terms of application among the noble metal nanoparticles. As such, researchers have dedicated a considerable amount of energy towards the synthesis of novel gold nanoparticles with different morphology and size, which in turn affect its potential application. This study synthesized novel spherical-shaped AuNPs via green reduction of gold ion in an aqueous solution of HAuCl4.3H2O in the presence of trimethyl chitosan as a stabilizing agent and pressurized H2 gas as a reducing agent on an ice water. The size, morphology, chemical composition, chemical environment and optical activities were examined by scanning electron microscope (SEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HR-TEM), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (Uv–Visible), respectively. The average particle size of AuNPs is 37 nm while HR-TEM revealed a unique spherical morphology. The Tauc's plot calculation revealed a band gap of 5.0 eV. This unique morphology and optical local field enhancement in plasmonic nanocomposites could be suitable alternative for conducting devices and photocatalysis.
