Abstract:In this study, differently shaped silver nanoparticles used for the synthesis of gold nanoclusters with small capping ligands were demonstrated. Silver nanoparticles provide a reaction platform that plays dual roles in the formation of Au NCs. One is to reduce gold ions and the other is to attract capping ligands to the surface of nanoparticles. The binding of capping ligands to the AgNP surface creates a restricted space on the surface while gold ions are being reduced by the particles. Four different shapes … Show more
“…Also, noble metal nanoparticles provide a reaction platform that plays dual roles in the formation of ligand-protected gold nanoclusters. Cheng et al used the surface of nanoparticles, with four different shapes, to reduce gold ions and to attract capping ligands [ 9 ]. Alternative synthetic routes can use a pulsed plasma approach for the production and surface deposition of silicon nanoclusters (SiNCs) for a size of about one to two nanometers.…”
The persistent efforts toward achieving superior properties for assembled nanoscale particles have been held back due to the resulting polydispersity associated with colloidal routes of synthesis [...]
