Abstract

This work presents a review of Ultrasonic Spray Pyrolysis (USP) as a
technique for the synthesis of gold nanoparticle (AuNPs). The synthesis mechanism
involved the preparation of the precursor solution from Au (III) Acetate and the study of the
process parameters. AuNPs were characterized with different techniques, such as DLS,
UV-vis and SEM-EDX analyses. In the second step, the AuNPs` ink was prepared with the
following procedure: (i) Concentration of the AuNPs through Rotavapor, (ii) Filtration of
the concentrated AuNPs through Amicon Ultra 15 Centrifugal Filters. Then, it was used
directly for printing on an Ag plate. In the final part, we present some information about
AuNPs` future applications, which could be in printed electronics with conducted patterns.
