AI Article Synopsis
- Tunable gold nanostars were created by reducing gold salt using an aminosugar without the need for seed particles.
- The size and shape of the nanoparticles could be easily modified by changing the reaction pH and using LED light during synthesis.
- These nanostars showed low toxicity to cells and promising applications for photothermal therapy, making them beneficial for medical use.
Article Abstract
Tunable gold nanostars were synthesized through the reduction of gold salt by an aminosugar, -methyl-D-glucamine, in a seed-less route. The nanoparticle morphology and size were facilely tuned through adjustments in reaction pH and LED light-mediated synthesis. The materials demonstrated low inherent cytotoxicity and high potential for photothermal therapy.
