We demonstrate a simple technique to produce gold nanoparticles (GNPs) stabilized with polyaniline (PANI) in the aqueous solution. The method is extremely efficient yet an uncomplicated process, which involves the in situ electrochemical-cum-chemical polymerization of aniline to yield the metal nanoparticles. The nanosize particles were examined with the help of UV vis and HRTEM. The proposed method although combines electrochemical and chemical synthesis events, however it is essentially a single step process. The method can also be extended for various other combinations of metals and conducting polymers.
