The results of the research done has given evidence to strongly support but not quite prove the hypothesis that was proposed. The hypothesis was, increasing the concentration of water in the reline solution will increase the average size of the gold nanoparticles because the lack of the stabilizer in the synthesis solution would allow the gold to form into larger nanoparticles.The data doesn't fully support the hypothesis because for one the formation of gold nanoparticles and gold nanostructures was somewhat unsuccessful as nanostructures were created just not in the shape wanted and then they created aggregates. What is thought to be created is gold nanowires rather then small circles or other shapes. This is supported through the AFM images, the shapes of the gold, while also being an aggregate rather than singular nanostructure have what can be seen as a wire like structure within the aggregate. The wires was also supported with the UV-Vis having a more curved peak then sharp ones normally indication larger sizes of particles. The creation of what seems to be nanowires and then the nanowires aggregating together delegitimize the data that was collected as the aggregates made it so . The AFM wasn't taken for the others as taking away the stabilizing agent, the reline, would cause the aggregate to grow. This was shown in figure 1 in that there was no curve of absorbance around 500-600 nm, and to further that point during the synthesis of the 2.5 mL reline the gold precipitated into a macro from that could be seen with the eye. These things show that the increased water concentration would increase particle size but not prove it as that would require an AFM of multiple particles and an average of their sizes taken for each of the concentrations. The limitations of time made it so that the process of taking multiple images and looking at all the samples not possible. Now knowing that reline isn't a great stabilizer to start with, which is supported by the 10 mL reline solution creating aggregates rather then nanoparticles, then decreasing the concentration of the reline would cause larger particles to grow which is shown by the data retrieved, the hypothesis then can be minimally supported. A better alternative is to use a different DES to create nanoparticles
