Abstract: | A photo-stimulation strategy was applied to synthesize colloidal noble-metal nanoparticles (NPs) with a highly controlling of size and morphology with high yield at room temperature. In this controlled synthesis, photoreduction of a mixture of the noble metal precursor and a chemical reducing agent under ultraviolet (UV) illumination was used to produce electrons that reduce metal ions (Au3+ and Ag+) in toluene. Prolonged UV irradiation at 365 nm at a power of 0.14 μmol S−1 m−2 induced ripening wherein the irradiation power, exposure time, and chemical interaction of the reducing and stabilizing agents were key factors in determining the nanoscale structure of the NPs. Under optimal irradiation and chemical conditions, size and shape deviations of <6% of the Au and Ag NPs were obtained. |
