Enhancing catalytic activity of gold nanoparticles in a standard redox reaction by investigating the impact of AuNPs size, temperature and reductant concentrations

Abstract In this work, the catalytic activity of three different sizes of gold nano particles (AuNPs) (12, 30, and 45 nm) synthesized by the citrate reduction process studied in the conventional redox reaction of K3Fe (CN6)−3 to K4Fe (CN6)−4 using NaBH4(reductant) at four different temperatures (5 °...
