Influence of the Thermal Treatment on Gold Particle Size

Influence of the Thermal Treatment on Gold Particle Size 

Gold particle size depends not only on the method of preparation, but also on the conditions used for the subsequent treatment performed to obtain the metal. Indeed, as mentioned in the introduction to this chapter, for most methods gold is in the +3 oxidation state after drying (the so-called as 

The size of gold particles increases with the final temperature of pre-treatment,5,62,206,207 and more in air than in hydrogen, for the reasons
