“…Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) is one of the most attractive metal nanoparticles (NPs) due to their unique physical and chemical properties, good biocompatibility, high dispersibility, high stability, and low toxicity [1] , [2] , [3] . They have been used as the biomedicine (anti-cancer drug or drug carrier, cancer detection), biosensors, catalyst, and antimicrobial agents [1] , [2] , [3] . Different physical and chemical approaches have been used to synthesize metal NPs, however, these methods are either not cost-effective, or need toxic chemical reducing agents which are harmful to environment.…”
