I found online that glycerol works as reducing agent also at room temperature , and it's also stabilyzing and capping agent avoiding cluster formation.
Here is the link to this study.
https://file.scirp.org/pdf/ANP_2013052113350692.pdfThe problem is that I have not idea what succeed during elektrolysis, surely it will divide itself in some other chemical products, but I think it will be the same for maltodextrine and other reducing agents.
I think it would be particularly good use glycerol, in reduction method, but I'm not sure what succeed using it for elektrolysis method.
In any case the maximum ppm tested was 82, but it's possible it works for higher even if they didn't test it.
Colloidal gold will be stable for at least 8 months and using 20% glycerol the particle size will be 8 nm, monodispersed ( I don't know what it means but I red people speak about ).
I' m curious to test it in elektrolysis but I'm afraid that something toxic is produced.
To understand if it works as reducing agent it's enough see if I have a ruby red product, but which other product are inside I don't know it.
Does someone know if it would be a good idea in electrolysis method?
Has someone already experimented with glycerol ( glycerine)?
