Abstract

A commercially available detergent was found to be an effective reducing as well as stabilizing agent for the synthesis of differently shaped gold nanoparticles in an aqueous solution at an ambient condition and the as-prepared gold nanoparticles behave as an efficient catalyst for the reduction reaction of 4-nitrophenol at room temperature.
