Synthesis of Gold Nanoparticles Stabilized by 3-(Aminopropyl)Triethoxysilane through (N, N-Dimethylformamide) Reduction
gold nanoparticles were synthesized in DMF (N, N-dimethylformamide) solution by using 3-(aminopropyl)triethoxysilane as stabilizer through wet chemical route. A characteristic surface plasmon band can be observed for the obtained gold nanoparticles from UV-vis absorption spectra, which indicate that KH-550 can serve as stabilizing agent for the formation of gold nanoparticles. The influence of reaction temperature, reaction time and precursor concentrations on the formation of gold nanoparticles is investigated through UV-vis absorption spectra. The results show that surface plasmon absorption peak could be red-shifted when reaction temperature, reaction time and precursor concentrations increase. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results show that the obtained gold nanoparticles with spherical morphology have a narrow size distribution.
