FIGURE 1.
Characterization of gallic acid and gold nanoparticles. (a) Chemical structure of gallic acid. (b) pH values of gallic acid solutions with different concentrations (0, 100, 200, and 300 μg/ml). (c) The morphology of gold nanoparticles was detected by transmission electron microscope. Left panel: low‐magnification image (scale bar = 80 nm). Right panel: high‐magnification image (scale bar = 20 nm). (d) Particle size distribution of GNPs by dynamic light scattering instrument (DLS)
