Colloidal synthesis and structural control of PtSn bimetallic nanoparticles

PtSn bimetallic nanoparticles with different particle sizes (1-9 nm), metal compositions (Sn content of 10-80 mol %), and organic capping agents (e.g., amine, thiol, carboxylic acid and polymer) were synthesized by colloidal chemistry methods. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) measurements show that, depending on the particle size, the as-prepared bimetallic nanocrystals have quasi-spherical or faceted shapes. Energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analyses indicate that for all samples the signals of both Pt and Sn can be detected from single nanoparticles, confirming that the products are actually bimetallic but not only a physical mixture of pure Pt and Sn metal nanoparticles. X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements were also conducted on the bimetallic particle systems. When compared with the diffraction patterns of monometallic Pt nanoparticles, the bimetallic samples show distinct shifts of the Bragg reflections to lower degrees, which gives clear proof of the alloying of Pt with Sn. However, a quantitative analysis of the lattice parameter shifts indicates that only part of the Sn atoms are incorporated into the alloy nanocrystals. This is consistent with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements that reveal the segregation of Sn at the surfaces of the nanocrystals. Moreover, short PtSn bimetallic nanowires were synthesized by a seed-mediated growth method with amine-capped bimetallic particles as precursors. The resulting nanowires have an average width of 2.3 nm and lengths ranging from 5 to 20 nm.     

Size-controllable synthesis of monodispersed colloidal silica nanoparticles via hydrolysis of elemental silicon

A new method is presented for preparing monodisperse and uniform-size silica nanoparticles using a two-stage hydrolysis of silicon powder in aqueous medium. The influence of synthesis conditions including solution composition and temperature on the formation of silica nanoparticles were systematically investigated. The structure and morphology of the silica particles were characterized via transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS). Various-sized particles in the range 10–100 nm were synthesized. The size of the nanoparticles can be precisely controlled by using a facile regrowth procedure in the same reaction media.     

Synthesis and characterization of CdS nanoparticles prepared by precipitation in the presence of span 20 as surfactant

Cadmium sulfide nanoparticles with average size of ≈16 nm have been synthesized using chemical precipitation reaction of CdCl₂ and Na₂S in the presence of nonionic surfactant stabilized reverse emulsions. Sorbian monolaurate (Span 20) is used for the stabilization of emulsions. The influence of Span 20 on controlling the size and properties of CdS nanoparticles were studied. The obtained CdS nanoparticles were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Energy-dispersive x-ray (EDX), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The optical properties of CdS nanoparticles are investigated systematically by UV-visible absorption spectroscopy. The blue shift in the absorption region and increase in the bandgap to the larger value (2.77 eV) are attributed to the nanosize of the obtained particles.

Titanium dioxide nanoparticles were successfully prepared by electrochemical method. The tetra propyl ammonium bromide salt was used as stabilizing agent in an organic medium viz. tetra hydro furan (THF) and acetonitrile (ACN) in 4:1 ratio by optimizing current density. The parameters such as current density, solvent polarity, distance between electrodes and concentration of stabilizers were used to control the size of nanoparticles.

Properties of conducting films of electrophoretic concentrates of silver and gold nanoparticles in AOT surfactant

Liquid concentrates of silver and gold nanoparticles with 1–2 M metal concentrations were isolated by electrophoresis in a capacitor-type cell from AOT reverse micellar solutions in n-decane. The electrophoretic concentrates and the starting micellar solutions were characterized by nonaqueous electrophoresis, transmission electron microscopy, photon correlation spectroscopy (dynamic light scattering), and spectrophotometry. The hydrodynamic diameter of silver and gold nanoparticles was 13.2 and 8.6 nm, respectively; the ζ-potential was 70 and 13 mV. The drying of the concentrates on glass and silicon substrates and subsequent treatment with a 30% solution of water in ethanol gave mirror conducting Ag, Au, Ag-Au, and Au/Ag films containing on the average 80% metal and 20 wt % AOT. The film structure, morphology, and composition were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersion analysis (EDX).     

Synthesis of dendron-protected porphyrin wires and preparation of a one-dimensional assembly of gold nanoparticles chemically linked to the pi-conjugated wires

A one-dimensional assembly of gold nanoparticles chemically bonded to pi-conjugated porphyrin polymers was prepared on a chemically modified glass surface and on an undoped naturally oxidized silicon surface by the following methods: pi-conjugated porphyrin polymers were prepared by oxidative coupling of 5,15-diethynyl-10,20-bis-((4-dendron)phenyl) porphyrin (6), and its homologues (larger than 40-mer) were collected by analytical gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The porphyrin polymers (>40-mer) were deposited using the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) method on substrate surfaces, which were then soaked in a solution of gold nanoparticles (2.7 +/- 0.8 nm) protected with t-dodecanethiol and 4-pyridineethanethiol. The topographical images of the surface observed by tapping mode atomic force microscopy (AFM) showed that the polymers could be dispersed on both substrates, with a height of 2.8 +/- 0.5 nm on the modified glass and 3.1 +/- 0.5 nm on silicon. The height clearly increased after soaking in the gold nanoparticle solution, to 5.3 +/- 0.5 nm on glass and 5.4 +/- 0.7 nm on silicon. The differences in height (2.5 nm on glass and 2.3 nm on silicon) corresponded to the diameter of the gold nanoparticles bonded to the porphyrin polymers. The distance between gold nanoparticles observed in scanning electron microscopic images was ca. 5 nm, indicating that they were bonded at every four or five porphyrin units.     

Vapor-solid growth of Sn nanowires: growth mechanism and superconductivity

A noncatalytic and template-free vapor transport process has been employed to prepare single-crystalline Sn nanowires with diameters of 10-20 nm. The growth of one-dimensional Sn nanowires follows the mechanism similar to the vapor-solid (V-S) mechanism. Two-dimensional square-shaped nanostructures were also found to form in the region of lower deposition temperatures. The rich morphology may be attributed to the competition in growth rate among different crystallographic planes. Structural characterization with high-resolution transmission electron microscopy showed that the nanowires and nanosquares grew in a preferential direction of [200]. The superconducting transition temperatures for Sn nanowires and Sn nanosquares were about 3.7 K, which was very close to that of bulk beta-Sn. Magnetization measurements showed that the critical magnetic fields for both Sn nanowires and Sn nanosquares increased significantly as compared to that of bulk Sn.

Preparation of chitosan nanoparticles using methacrylic acid

In this work the preparation of chitosan nanoparticle was investigated using methacrylic acid in different conditions and studied by particle size analyzer, zeta-potential, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The particle size was dependent on the chitosan concentration used during the preparation method. Nanoparticles with sizes as small as 60 nm were achieved, that can be extremely important for several applications. The nanoparticles solution was also pH-sensitive, due to swelling and aggregation of the nanoparticles. The nanoparticles obtained presented a very homogeneous morphology showing a quite uniform particles size distribution and a rather spherical shape.

Structure and Stability of Gold Nanoparticles Synthesized Using <Emphasis Type="Italic">Schinus molle</Emphasis> L. Extract

In this work, we exhibited the results of the green synthesis of gold nanoparticles by aqueous extract of Schinus molle L. leaves. The chemical reaction was carried out by varying the plant extract/precursor salt ratio concentration in the aqueous solution. The structural characterization of the nanoparticles was performed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). XRD analysis showed that the as-synthesized AuNPs have a face-centered cubic structure. SEM and TEM observations indicated that most of the obtained particles have multiple twinning structures (MTP). The synthesized Au-MTP have particle sizes in the range of 10–60 nm, most of them with an average size of about 24 nm. However, triangular Au plate particles were also obtained, having an average size of 180 nm. Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy and shows that the functional groups responsible for the chemical reduction of AuNPs are phenolic compounds present in the S. molle L. leaf.

Fluorescent magnetic nanocrystals by sequential addition of reagents in a one-pot reaction: a simple preparation for multifunctional nanostructures

Core-shell nanostructures consisting of FePt magnetic nanoparticles as the core and semiconducting chalcogenides as the shell were synthesized by a series of reactions in a one-pot procedure. Adding Cd(acac)2 as the cadmium precursor to a reaction mixture containing FePt nanoparticles afforded FePt@CdO core-shell intermediates. The subsequent addition of chalcogens yielded FePt@CdX core-shell nanocrystals (where X was S or Se). The reverse sequence of addition, i.e., adding X before Cd, resulted in spongelike nanostructures because the chalcogens readily formed nanowires in the solution. Transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry, selected area electron diffraction, fluorescence spectroscopy, and SQUID were used to characterize the nanostructures. These core-shell nanostructures displayed superparamagnetism at room temperature and exhibited fluorescence with quantum yields of 2.3-9.7%. The flexibility in the sequence of addition of reagents, combined with the compatibility of the lattices of the different materials, provides a powerful yet convenient strategy for generating sophisticated, multifunctional nanostructures.     

Reductive growth of nanosized ligated metal clusters on silicon nanowires

The reductive growth of metal clusters on silicon nanowires (SiNWs) is reported. The HF-etched SiNWs were found to reduce ligated Au-Ag clusters of single size, shape, composition, and structure. In the process, the surfaces of the SiNWs were reoxidized. The reductive cluster growth on the SiNW surface was followed by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The reduced metal clusters grew to different sizes in the nanometer regime (1-7 nm in diameter) on the SiNW surfaces. At sizes greater than approximately 7 nm, they tend to separate from the SiNW surfaces. Further growth and/or agglomeration of these colloidal particles to sizes greater than roughly 25 nm in diameter eventually causes the particles to precipitate from solution. Two interesting phenomena, the "sinking cluster" and the "cluster fusion" processes, were observed under TEM.
