Due to the unique properties of gold nanoparticles, applications across many fields can be found, ranging from drug delivery to ceramic coloring. One such application utilizes the strong and unique fluorescence quenching ability of gold nanoparticles, which arises due to the plasmonic nature of the particles. This research examines the quenching effects of gold nanoparticles when in solution with fluorescent organic and inorganic compounds such as naphthalene and cerium salts.
