Time-dependent eco-friendly method to produce Au nanometric assemblies with fluorescent properties

A time-dependent eco-friendly synthesis of Au assemblies was carried out using Taraxacum officinale plant extract in the present study. Au nanomaterials have potential applications in imaging therapy cancer diagnostics due to their biocompatibility and fluorescence response when irradiated with Ultraviolet light. Also, synthesis methods whose chemistry minimizes toxic residues are of interest to scientists, mainly when intended to use Au...
