Spectroscopically clean Au nanoparticles for catalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide

Abstract Au nanoparticles synthesized from colloidal techniques have the capability in many applications such as catalysis and sensing. Au nanoparticles function as both catalyst and highly sensitive SERS probe can be employed for sustainable and green catalytic process. However, capping ligands tha...
