Synonyms: Gold nanoparticles; Non-functionalized gold nanoparticles
Molecular Formula: Au
Molecular Weight: 196.97
Linear Structural Formula: Au
Purity: >95% (reactant free)
Storage: 2-8C
Application: Gold nanoparticles are extensively used in biomedical research due to their biocompatibility, facile conjugation to biomolecules and unique optical properties arising from surface plasmon resonance. The presence of spiked nanoantenna-type shapes in NanoUrchins enhances the plasmonic extinction resonance effect which improves the optical limiting effects
