Article Synopsis
- L-asparagine functionalized gold nanoparticles (Asp-AuNPs) were synthesized by reducing HAuCl in the presence of L-asparagine at 70 °C for 8 hours, producing spherical nanoparticles of about 13.5 ± 3.7 nm in size.
- Asp-AuNPs demonstrated excellent catalytic properties in degrading various organic dyes, including Rhodamine B, methyl orange, acid red 27, and xylenol orange, particularly in the presence of sodium borohydride.
- The degradation reactions followed pseudo-first order kinetics, with rate constants of 0.904 min, 0.314 min, 0.228 min, and 0.1 min for Rhodamine B,
