Abstract
The formation of gold nanoparticles in our optimized synthesis
is achieved through reduction of tetrachloroauric acid in
2
-
(N
-
morpholino)ethanesulphonic acid (MES)
buffered glucose
and stabilization by starch at room temperature. The formation
has been followed by measuring the electrochemical potential,
conductivity, pH, turbidity, UV
-
Vis
extinction
, core size and
hydrodynamic
diameter
.
The synthesized AuNPs have been employed as core particles
in advanced core
-
shell structures with highly porous platinum
nanoparticle coating or copper oxide shells. These hold poten-
tials as effective catalysts in fuel cells and methanol reformers.
