摘要
A simple and easier chemical method for preparing spongy gold nanocrystals has been developed on the basis of a modified-citrate reduction technique of the corresponding gold salt at 25 degrees C in the absence of template. These nanocrystals possessed autocatalytic behavior and exhibited pronounced catalytic activity in the borohydride reduction of 4-nitrophenol due to their unique spongy morphology.
