Abstract

Manganese powder with a suitable potential (, -1.19 V) has never been investigated for the reduction of Au3+ (, 1.00 V). In this study, we have utilized and low pH dependent for the polyethylene glycol stabilized gold nanoprism synthesis by reducing AuCl-4 in the presence of thiol terminated polyethylene glycol as the stabilizing agent. The synthetic methodology for gold nanoprisms has been optimized by pH and Cl- ion combination. Time dependent absorbance studies have been conducted to demonstrate the role of various reaction parameters such as the stabilizing agent, HCl concentration, temperature, and Mn metal. The synthesized gold nanoprism has been further utilized as a seed for nucleic acid and selected amino acid mediated edge and surface growth, respectively.
