Shape-Dependent Single-Electron Levels for Au Nanoparticles
The shape of metal nanoparticles has a crucial role in their performance in heterogeneous catalysis as well as photocatalysis. We propose a method of determining the shape of nanoparticles based on measurements of single-electron quantum levels. We first consider nanoparticles in two shapes of high symmetry: cube and sphere. We then focus on Au nanoparticles in three characteristic shapes that ...
متن کاملStructural analysis and shape-dependent catalytic activity of Au, Pt and Au/Pt nanoparticles
Metallic nanoparticles of Au, Pt and Pt/Au have been synthesized using a chemical reduction approach. The structural characterization of these metallic nanoparticles has been carried out using conventional transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) techniques. HR-TEM images of Pt nanoparticles reveal their fcc-like structures, in the [10...
متن کاملMagneto-switchable single-electron charging of Au-nanoparticles using hydrophobic magnetic nanoparticles.
Reversible magneto-switchable quantum charging of a Au nanoparticle array associated with a Au electrode is observed in the presence of hydrophobic magnetic nanoparticles attracted to the functionalized electrode surface.
متن کاملLaser-Induced, Polarization Dependent Shape Transformation of Au/Ag Nanoparticles in Glass
Bimetallic, initially spherical Ag/Au nanoparticles in glass prepared by ion implantation have been irradiated with intense femtosecond laser pulses at intensities still below the damage threshold of the material surface. This high-intensity laser processing produces dichroism in the irradiated region, which can be assigned to the observed anisotropic nanoparticle shapes with preferential orien...
متن کاملPhotosynthetic Electron Transport System Promotes Synthesis of Au-Nanoparticles
In this communication, a novel, green, efficient and economically viable light mediated protocol for generation of Au-nanoparticles using most vital organelle, chloroplasts, of the plant system is portrayed. Thylakoids/chloroplasts isolated from Potamogeton nodosus (an aquatic plant) and Spinacia oleracea (a terrestrial plant) turned Au³⁺ solutions purple in presence of light of 600 µmol m⁻² s⁻...
