Synthesis of gold nanomaterials with different morphologies

ABSTRACT

Gold nanomaterials with different morphologies were prepared by wet chemical reduction method. The obtained Au nanomaterials were characterized by transmission electron microscopy and UV-visible spectrophotometer. TEM results showed that, different morphologies of Au nanomaterials, including spherical, rod-like, cubic and triangular, were synthesized. Meanwhile, the characteristic absorption peaks of Au nanomaterials were given in UV-vis spectra.

KEYWORDS:
