Identifying mass transfer influences on Au nanoparticles growth process by centrifugation.

چکیده
A comparative study of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) growth employing cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) adsorbent was performed. Au nanooctahedrons transformed into slightly truncated nanocubes without centrifugation, whereas they transformed into nanocubes with centrifugation. Our results indicate that the mass transfer of Au monomers can influence the shape evolution of NPs.

On-demand shape and size purification of nanoparticle based on surface area.
In order to overcome the serious deficiencies of the traditional aqueous centrifugation method in on-demand purification of metal nanoparticles, we have theoretically and experimentally developed a simple purification method based on the nanoparticles' surface area discrepancy, which can separate particles with the same mass but different shapes. As an example, we apply this method to obtain on...
متن کاملTransport of gold nanoparticles through plasmodesmata and precipitation of gold ions in woody poplar.
Poplar plants (Populus deltoides × nigra, DN-34) were used as a model to explore vegetative uptake of commercially available gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and their subsequent translocation and transport into plant cells. AuNPs were directly taken up and translocated from hydroponic solution to poplar roots, stems and leaves. Total gold concentrations in leaves of plants treated with 15, 25 and 50...
متن کاملMOCVD Growth of High-Quality and Density-Tunable GaAs Nanowires on ITO Catalyzed by Au Nanoparticles Deposited by Centrifugation
High-quality and density-tunable GaAs nanowires (NWs) are directly grown on indium tin oxide (ITO) using Au nanoparticles (NPs) as catalysts by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). Au catalysts were deposited on ITO glass substrate using a centrifugal method. Compared with the droplet-only method, high-area density Au NPs were uniformly distributed on ITO. Tunable area density was r...
متن کاملGreen synthesis of Au-Ag nanoparticles using Mentha piperita and effects of Au-Ag alloy nanoparticles on the growth of Mentha piperita under salinity stress
Salinity stress reduces plant metabolic activity, which reduces plant growth in saline environments. this study aimed to investigate the effect of salinity stress as one of the limiting factors of plant growth and the effect of nanoparticles on stress conditions as one of the auxiliary factors in plant control against stressful conditions by studying physiological factors such as soluble sugars...
متن کاملAntibacterial Activity and Cytotoxicity of Gold (I) and (III) Ions and Gold Nanoparticles
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and gold ion complexes have been investigated for their antibacterial activities. However, the majority of the reports failed to disclose the concentration of free Au(I) or Au(III) present in solutions of AuNPs or gold ion complexes. The inconsistency of antibacterial activity of AuNPs may be due to the effect of the presence of Au(III). Here we report the antibacteri...
