The (a) size change and (b) absorbance spectrum change over time, along with SEM photographs token at (c) ~1 hour and (d) ~48 hours since synthesis started, of Standard GNP (left) and GNP synthesized with the molar ratio of NaH2PO4: HEPES = 6 (right). The data points in A are average sizes calculated from Size-Number distribution measured using Zetasizer, and error bars are corresponding standard errors of the mean.
