Synthesis and characterization of Au NP loaded gel wax.
(a) TEM image of the synthesized Au NPs; (b) Particle size distribution analyzed by ImageJ; (c) Photograph of neat gel wax and gel wax loaded with increasing loading concentrations of Au NPs from left to right: 6.06 × 10−4 vol% (gel wax-Au NP-1), 1.82 × 10−3 vol% (gel wax-Au NP-2) and 3.64 × 10−3 vol% (gel wax-Au NP-3). (The plasmonic composite was placed on top of transparent neat gel wax. The scale bar is 1 cm.); (d) UV-Vis spectra of neat gel wax and gel wax loaded with Au NPs.
