Synonyms: Gold nanoparticles; Non-functionalized gold nanoparticles
Molecular Formula: Au
Molecular Weight: 196.97
Linear Structural Formula: Au
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 Nano-Urchins enhances the plasmonic extinction resonance effect, which improves the optical limiting effect.
