Abstract

This current work was aimed to conduct biological synthesis and characterization of gold
nanoparticles (AuNPs) through environmentally friendly technology using plant extracts: cactus
(Opuntia sp.), onion (Allum sp.), pear (Pyrus sp.), coffee (Coffea sp.) and laurel (Laurus sp.), as
reducing agent and stabilizers. Standard methodology was obtained. The characterization with UVVisible
spectrophotometry determined maximum absorbance at 527-537 nm, while transmission
electron microscopy (TEM) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) confirmed that the gold nanoparticles
biosynthesis produced different shapes, including spheres, cubes, cones, cylinders and others with a
size of 5-100 nm depending on the extract used, so that the proposed method is useful, eco-friendly,
quick and inexpensive to synthesize AuNPs. Furthermore these AuNPs can be functionalized.
