Surfactant-free alcohol-mediated colloidal syntheses of gold nanoparticles beyond aqueous media

Year: 2026

Type: preprint

Abstract: The synthesis of nanomaterials by simple processes is a key towards the full exploitation of their unique properties. Recently, a range of surfactant-free alcohol-mediated colloidal syntheses in alkaline water-alcohol mixtures have been reported. It is shown that the knowledge gained from studying those syntheses can be transferred to other solvents and solvent mixtures with the example of mixtures of dimethyl sulfoxide and ethylene glycol. The results open up new opportunities for the controlled synthesis of surfactant-free nanomaterials and to broaden the scope of their applications.
