Preparation of [C60]Fullerene Nanowhisker-gold Nanoparticle Composites and Reduction of 4-Nitrophenol through Catalysis

A gold nanoparticle solution was prepared by adding sodium borohydride (NaBH4), trisodium citrate dihydrate (C6H5Na3O7⋅2H2O), cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB,(C16H33)N(CH3)3Br), ascorbic acid (C6H8O6), and potassium tetrachloroaurate(III)(KAuCl4) to distilled water and stirring the solution fo...
