Gold nanoparticles have photonic and biocompatible properties and hence they are widely used in electronic wiring, optics, photonics, optoelectronics, catalysis and biomedicine. But the intrinsic characteristics of gold nanoparticles are primarily dependent on their size and shape obtained by different synthesis methods. In general, gold nanoparticles are produced in an aqueous solution through the reduction of chloroauric acid (HAuCl4). Of these methods, Turkevich water based and Brust organic liquid based methods are the most widespread used approaches, but both the methods require a reducing agent to reduce Au3+ ions to neutral gold atoms, and a suitable stabilizer to prevent the synthesized gold nanoparticles from aggregation.
