Abstract

A method of synthesizing a smart paper transformer is provided. The method comprises combining paper with HAuCl4 and stirring together in an aqueous solution to form a pulp. The pulp is treated with NaBH4 aqueous solution. The treated pulp is then washed and centrifuged with water a number of times to form a gold nanosponge (AuNS) catalyst pulp.
