Abstract
In this study, researchers synthesized ultra-small gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) using a Schiff-base and characterized them using several techniques. These Schiff-base stabilized AuNPs were then used for the catalytic reduction of organophosphate pesticides (malathion and parathion) in liquid phase reactions. The researchers achieved a high degradation efficiency of up to 95.06% and 99.1% with the addition of NaBH4 within a 50-min reaction time for malathion and parathion, respectively. Additionally, the synthesized AuNPs showed selectivity for sensing Cr(VI) metal ions at nanomolar concentrations (10–100 nM) using fluorometric detection.
