“Chocolate” Gold Nanoparticles—One Pot Synthesis and Biocompatibility

“Chocolate” Gold Nanoparticles—One Pot Synthesis and Biocompatibility

The chemical synthesis of nanoparticles can involve and generate toxic materials. Here, we present for the first time, a one pot direct route to synthesize gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) using natural cacao extract as both a reducing and stabilizing agent. The nanoparticles were characterized by UV-visi...
