General description

Gold(Au) is a yellow noble metal known for its lustrous appearance and outstandingresistance to corrosion. Our high-purity gold is available in foil form,featuring a thickness of 0.127 mm and a purity of 99.999% on a trace metalsbasis. Gold foil is widely utilized in the electronics industry for itsexcellent electrical conductivity, making it ideal for use in connectors,circuit boards, and other electronic components. In the field of optics, gold foil is used in coatings and filters,leveraging its unique reflective properties for applications in optical devicesand sensors.

Application

Gold-foil can be used to fabricate carbide-derived nanoporous carbon based polymeric actuators. Gold-foil modified actuators show high frequency response and low operating voltage.

TiO2 coated gold foils can used to enhance the electrocatalytic oxidation of glucose.

Gold foil can be used as a reference electrode for the electro-reduction of carbon dioxide.

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are of biomedical importance, such as delivery vectors. Therefore, we used all-atom molecular dynamic simulations to study the interaction of AuNPs with cell membrane (DMPC bilayer). We observed that the AuNPs adhered spontaneously on the surface of

Multifunctional phosphine based ligands, 1,1,1-tris(diphenylphosphinomethyl)ethane [CH3C(CH2 PPh2)3][P3] and 1,1,1-tris(diphenylphosphinomethyl)ethane trisulphide [CH3C(CH2P(S)Ph2)3][P3S3] have been introduced to stabilize Au(o)-nanoparticles having small core diameter and narrow size distribution. The Au(o)-nanoparticles were synthesized by the reduction of HAuCl4 precursor with NaBH4 in the presence

We report on the enhancement of sensitivity of SPR biosensor by modifying the metal surface. A mixture layer, in which gold and dielectric medium coexist, was simply prepared by increasing the roughness of gold surface deposited onto a glass substrate
