Abstract
A nanohybrid material includes a plurality of gold nanohybrid particles having formula (I). The gold nanohybrid particles have a gold nanoparticle (AuNPs) core and a shell of at least one fatty acid derivative at least partially disposed around the AuNPs core. The AuNPs core has a cuboidal shape and an average particle size of 20 to 60 nanometers (nm). Each R1, and R2 are independently selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen atom, and a fatty acid hydrocarbon chain having 16 to 22 carbon atoms. R3 is selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen atom, an alkyl, an alkoxy, an optionally substituted alkoxy having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, and an optionally substituted alkoxyalky.
