Abstract:Here we demonstrate that every time Au and Ag NPs are physically mixed together they outperform their monometallic counterparts upon electrocatalysis of hydroquinone (HQ) and electrophoretic deposition (EPD) coverage.We chemically synthesize citrated‐coated Au and Ag nanoparticles (NPs), mix them at the following percent ratios: Au100‐xAgx (Au90Ag10, Au75Ag25, Au50Ag50, Au25Ag75, Au10Ag90), and form films via EPD using HQ as mediate molecule. We encountered good agreement between Optical Extinction Spectroscop… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
