    Description
Monometallic and bimetallic gold nanoparticles (NP) have been largely investigated for their applications in many different fields including catalysis and biomedicine. XAFS or X-ray Absorption Fine Structure spectroscopy can give important information on their electronic and structural properties. A short review of L3-near edge and extended X-ray absorption fine structure information achievable on monometallic and bimetallic Au nanoparticles synthesized using very different techniques will be reported.
