Abstract EN
Stable colloidal gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) are synthesized successfully using a seeding growth technique.
The size of the nanoparticles is determined using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and it is observed that the size of the nanoparticles ranges from 7 to 30 nm.
The TEM images and optical absorption spectra of the Au NPs reveal that the suspension is well dispersed and consistent with the particle size.
The feasibility of the seeding growth technique is investigated using Turbiscan Classic MA 2000 screening stability tester.
Based on the peak thickness kinetics and mean value kinetics, the backscattered light profiles indicate that the suspension is highly stable without particle sedimentation as well as negligible agglomeration.
In addition, the Au NPs are proven to remain stable over a period of 2 months.
Particle sedimentation eventually occurs due to the weight of nanoparticles.
It is concluded that the seeding growth technique is feasible in synthesizing stable Au NPs.
Controlling the stability, size and shape of Au NPs are technologically important because of the strong correlation between these parameters and the optical, electrical, and catalytic properties of the nanoparticles.
