A Comparison Reduction of 4-Nitrophenol by Gold Nanospheres and Gold Nanostars

In order to investigate structure-property relationships, the catalytic properties of gold nanoparticles were evaluated in the reduction of 4-nitrophenol by NaBH4. Using catalyst suspensions with identical amounts of gold, the following key results were obtained: first, the nanostars showed increase...
