Surfactant-free colloidal syntheses in aqueous media are attractive to develop nanomaterials relevant for various applications, e. g. catalysis or medicine. However, controlled green syntheses without surfactants of metal nanoparticles in aqueous media remain scarce. Here, room temperature syntheses of gold (Au) nanoparticles (NPs) that require only HAuCl 4 , alkaline water and an alcohol, i. e. relatively benign chemicals and mild reaction conditions, are developed. The findings of a comprehensive multi-parameters screening performed in small volumes (<3 mL) over 1000+ experiments pave the way to greener high throughput screenings of large parametric spaces and lead to scalable (100 mL) synthetic strategies. A rational selection of the alcohol is proposed. The influence of lights with defined wavelengths (222-690 nm) is investigated. It is found that lights with lower wavelengths favor the formation of smaller 5 nm NPs. Different kinetics and formation pathways are observed for different alcohols and for lights with different wavelengths. The sensitivity to various experimental parameters increases with the alcohol used in the order glycerol (© 2024 The Authors. ChemSusChem published by Wiley-VCH GmbH.) |
