Abstract
In this paper, we demonstrate that the Turkevich reaction can be used to obtain not only spherical gold nanoparticles of various sizes, but also nanoparticles of different morphologies. The effect of the molar ratios of citrate to HAuCl4 at various temperatures has been studied. It was found that the reagent ratio plays a significant role in defining the morphology of the gold nanosystems formed at low temperatures. This study shows that by controlling the reagent ratios and the reaction temperature of the Turkevich reaction, nano-structured gold systems with various shapes, including spheres, wires, networks, and systems comprising polygonal nanoparticles only or nanochains only, with the latter two morphologies reported for the first time, can be obtained. The gold nanosystems obtained in this fashion were characterised by transmission electron microscopy and UV–visible absorption spectroscopy.
