Effect of voltage on colloidal gold (Au) nanoparticles produced using electro-dissolution-reduction method

Colloidal gold nanoparticles have been successfully prepared using a simple two-electrode cells connected to a DC power supply. During the electro-dissolution-reduction process, the bulk gold at the anode oxidized into gold cations which then reacted with the chloride ions to form aurochloride co...
