Article Description

An easy, cheap and green synthetic route, using high-power ultrasounds and sodium citrate dihydrate as non-toxic reducing and stabilizer agent, produces gold nanoparticles in aqueous solution, and at ambient conditions. The time required for the synthesis is 5.5 min. The spherical nanoparticles obtained by this route show a homogeneous size distribution, within the range 5–17 nm, with an average diameter of 10 ± 1 nm. Moreover, 90% of the particles have a diameter ranging from 7 to 13 nm, and their half-life is more than 30 days. The gold nanoparticles synthesized following this route are known as sononanoparticles. Gold sononanoparticles have been characterized by TEM and XRD and their stability has been studied by UV–Vis spectroscopy. Alternative experimental designs are compared to optimize the proposed synthesis procedure.
