Gold Nanoparticles

Gold colloids have been known since ancient times for their
fascinating properties and colours

Why is there such great current interest in gold nanoparticles


(AuNPs)

Facile methods of synthesis and Stability in a


wide variety of solvents
High degree of control over size and shape
Wide range of medical and industrial applications

Nanofluid
Nanofluids – a simple product of the emerging world of
nanotechnology–are suspensions of nanoparticles (1–100nm) in
conventional base fluids such as water, oils, or glycols

Synthesis of Nanofluid

Single-step technique: The Two-step technique: The two step


single step simultaneously method starts with producing NP by
makes and disperses the NPs one of the physical or chemical
directly into a base fluid processes, and proceeds to
best for metallic nanofluids disperse them into a base fluid
Nanoparticles agglomeration is
Good for oxide nanofluids
minimized

Synthesis of Gold nanofluid - Chemical
Reduction Method

The chemical reduction method presents, with respect to other


routes, several advantages, mainly related to

Easy synthesis procedure


Reproducibility of the method
Stability of the prepared sol

Reduction Method
Materials

 Gold chloride trihydrate (HAuCl4.3H2O)


 Sodium citrate tribasic dihydrate (Na3C6H5O7.3H2O)
 Double-distilled water

Procedure for the preparation of AuNPs

To the rapidly-stirred boiling 100 ml of 1 mM HAuCl4


solution, 10 ml of 38.8 mM trisodium citrate dihydrate
(Na3C6H5O7.3H2O) solution is quickly added

Gold Nanofluid
The solution colour changed from yellow to black and then
to red or purple colour depending on the sizes of the NPs

Surface Plasmon Resonance

 Surface plasmon resonance is the collective

oscillation of the conduction electrons induced

by the incident electric field (light)

 When an external light wave is incident on a


metal nanoparticle, its electric field E0
periodically displaces the sphere’s electrons
with respect to the lattice, resulting in oscillating
electron density
