Simple size-controlled synthesis of Au nanoparticles and their size-dependent catalytic activity
Open accessAbstract
The controlled preparation of Au nanoparticles (NPs) in the size range of 6 to 22 nm is explored in this study. The Au NPs were prepared by the reduction of tetrachloroauric acid using maltose in the presence of nonionic surfactant Tween 80 at various concentrations to control the size of the resulting Au NPs. With increasing concentration of Tween 80 a decrease in the size of produced Au NPs was observed, along with a significant decrease in their size distribution. The size-dependent catalytic activity of the synthesized Au NPs was tested in the reduction of 4-nitrophenol with sodium borohydride, resulting in increasing catalytic activity with decreasing size of the prepared nanoparticles. Eley-Rideal catalytic mechanism emerges as the more probable, in contrary to the Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism reported for other noble metal nanocatalysts.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
