Review of the methodologies used in the synthesis gold nanoparticles by chemical reduction

This paper presents a review in gold nanoparticles focusing on chemical reduction synthesis mechanisms. We hope to aid students and researchers starting in the nanotechnology field by compiling the most used synthesis methods, so they can select the ones that best suit them. The compiled information in this paper approached the following methods: Turkevich Method; Synthesis with NaBH4 with/without citrate; Seeding- Growth; Synthesis by Ascorbic...
