Abstract
The influence of polyethyleneimine (PEI) addition on the crystal size distribution (CSD) of Au was investigated. PEI is a waterβsoluble cationic polyelectrolyte acting as a reducer of AuCl~4~^β^ and a stabilizer of precipitated Au nanocrystals. The CSD can be controlled by the PEI dosage, and an increase in PEI dosage decreased both the size and the size distribution width of the obtained Au nanocrystals. The idea of PEIβassisted reductive crystallization of Au may be helpful in the production of nanometals by using a simple batch crystallizer.
