UV-Induced Gold Nanoparticle Growth in Polystyrene Matrix with Soluble Precursor

Abstract: It is demonstrated that UV (LED at 365 nm) irradiation with subsequent heating (90–110 °C) of the polystyrene matrix containing a soluble Au(I) compound ((Ph3P)Au(n-Bu)) results in the growth of gold nanoparticles within the sample bulk, as confirmed by UV-vis spectroscopy and TEM electron microscopy. Pure heating of the samples without previous UV irradiation does not provide gold nanoparticles, thereby facilitating optical image printing. Comparing the nanoparticles’ growth kinetics in samples with different… Show more

“…High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HR TEM) data show that the shape of the nanoparticles in real experiments on precursor-mediated nanoparticle growth in polymer films 26,31 is close to the spherical one. Thus, we assume that the relaxation of the shape of the nanoparticle toward the spherical shape is a fast process.…”

“…Up to now the autocatalytic growth has been reported only in liquid solutions. However, recently this process has been observed in polymer matrixes . There, the precursor Au­(I) autocatalytically delivered a gold atom to the gold nanoparticle.…”
