The prepared Au colloids were characterized with UV-visible absorption spectra UV-vis X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy XPS and transmission electron microscopy TEM equipped with an energy dispersion X-ray spectrometer EDX . UV-vis XPS and EDX results confirmed that Au3 ions in HAuCl4 solution could be effectively reduced into the metallic state at room temperature with the glow discharge plasma. TEM images showed that Au nanoparticles were highly dispersed. The size of colloidal Au nanoparticles could be easily tuned in the nanometer range by adjusting the initial concentration of HAuCl4 solution. Moreover the as-synthesized Au colloids dav nm exhibited good catalytic activity for glucose oxidation. The nucleation and growth of colloidal Au particles under the influence of the plasma was closely related with the high-energy electrons generated by glow discharge plasma. X. Liang Z. Wang C.
