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.
