Synthesis of Gold Nanoparticles Using Fullerene Oxide and Their Catalytic Activity for Reduction of 4-Nitroaniline

Gold nanoparticles were synthesized by reacting potassium tetrachloroaurate (KAuCl 4 ), potassium carbonate (K 2 CO 3 ), and isopropyl alcohol in the presence of fullerene oxide [C 60 (O) n , n ≥ 1], which was, in turn, prepared from [C 60 ] fullerene and m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid under refluxing c...

More Information
Summary:Gold nanoparticles were synthesized by reacting potassium tetrachloroaurate (KAuCl 4 ), potassium carbonate (K 2 CO 3 ), and isopropyl alcohol in the presence of fullerene oxide [C 60 (O) n , n ≥ 1], which was, in turn, prepared from [C 60 ] fullerene and m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid under refluxing conditions. The crystallinity and morphology of the prepared gold nanoparticles were confirmed by UV-vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. The activity of the gold nanoparticles in the reduction of 4-nitroaniline was measured in order to determine its capability as a catalyst.
