A simple method to synthesized nanoparticles was satisfied by reduction of tetrachloroauric acid in the presence of palm oil fronds extracts as capping and reduced agents. The as-synthesized gold nanoparticles structures have a triangular and hexagonal shape that are of tens of nanometre in size. It was realized that good control shape of nano-hexagonal gold nanoparticles were obtained from nano-triangular gold nanoparticles in the absence of any soft template. The production techniques of the gold nanoparticles were examined by using UV-vis spectroscopy, EFTEM and XRD patterns, which showed peaks at (111), (200), (220), (311) and (222), that described the preferential structure of the AuNPs as face-centered cubic crystal
