Gold nanoparticles formation via gold(III) chloride complex ions reduction with glucose in the batch and in the flow microreactor systems

► Kinetic studies of gold nanoparticles formation. ► Determination of the rate constants of gold nanoparticles nucleation and growth. ► Application the rate law to adjust the flow rate and time of stabilizer injection in the microreactor system. ► Controlled synthesis of gold nanoparticles in microreactor system.
