Green synthesis of noble metal and bimetal nanosols and their applications as catalysts

Blosi M., Ortelli S., Albonetti S., Costa A.L., Ortolani L., Dondi M., Istec-CNR, IT

We report an environmentally benign approach to the production of stable metals nanosols. Water has been chosen as benign solvent, glucose serve as a mild, renewable and non-toxic reducing agents and microwave irradiation was used [...]

Au, Ag and Au-Ag nanoparticles: microwave-assisted synthesis in water and applications in ceramic and catalysis

Blosi M., Albonetti S., Gatti F., Dondi M., Migliori A., Ortolani L., Morandi V., Baldi G., Istec-CNR, IT

The research was focused on the synthesis of Au, Ag and Au-Ag core-shell sols, prepared by a patented microwave-assisted green synthesis. The method provides colloidal mono and bimetallic nanoparticles throughout the reduction of precursor’s salts [...]
