Mechanism in the Preparation of Gold Nanoflowers by Ascorbic Acid Reduction†

The mechanism in the preparation of gold nanoflowers using the mixture of HAuCl₄ and ascorbic acid(AA) as growth solution was investigated. It was identified that the AA concentration affected the attachment of the small gold particles on the seeds and the intraparticle ripening of the gold nanoflowers, thus resulting in the formation of the flowers with different morphologies and optical properties. It is effective to tune morphology and optical property of the gold nanoflowers by optimizing the AA concentration and pH of the growth solution simultaneously. Surface enhanced Raman scattering(SERS) results indicated the as-prepared gold nanoflowers showed good SERS activity to Rhodamine 6G, suggesting the clean surface character of the flowers prepared by AA reduction.
