Figure 4From: Ionic liquid-stabilized non-spherical gold nanofluids synthesized using a one-step methodEffects of different stabilizers on UV–vis-NIR absorbance spectroscopy of AuNFs. Experimental conditions, 0.20 mL 1% (w/v) TA as reducing agent. Solid line, 0.50 mL 2.0 mmol·L−1 [AEMIM]·Br; dash line, 1.0 mL 2.0 mmol·L−1 [CMMIM]·Cl; short dot line, 0.50 mL 1.0 mmol·L−1 NaBr; dash dot line, 1.5 mg PVP; and dot line, 0.25 mL 1% (w/v) trisodiumcitrate.Back to article page
