Synthesis and characterization of noble metal–titania core–shell nanostructures with tunable shell thickness
Core-shell nanostructures have found applications in many fields, including surface enhanced spectroscopy, catalysis and solar cells. Titania-coated noble metal nanoparticles, which combine the surface plasmon resonance properties of the core and the photoactivity of the shell, have great potential for these applications. However, the controllable synthesis of such nanostructures remains a chal...
متن کاملZrO2 bubbles from core–shell nanoparticles{
Selective removal of metal cores from core–shell Ag@ZrO2 (ZrO2 coated Ag) and Au@ZrO2 (ZrO2 coated Au) nanoparticles result in stable and freely suspendable oxide nanobubbles of varying dimensions, both in thickness and in diameter. The metal core is removed by a newly found reaction in which halocarbons, generally chlorides, oxidise the metal core and leach out the metal ions. Reduction in the...
متن کاملStructure and Formation Model of Ag/TiO2 and Au/TiO2 Nanoparticles Synthesized through Ultrasonic Spray Pyrolysis
This article explains the mechanism of the metal/oxide core-shell Ag/TiO2 and Au/TiO2 nanoparticle formation via one-step ultrasonic spray pyrolysis (USP) by establishing a new model. The general knowledge on the standard “droplet-to-particle” (DTP) mechanism, nucleation, and growth processes of noble metals, as well as physical and chemical properties of core and shell materials and experiment...
متن کاملTiO2 coated Au/Ag nanorods with enhanced photocatalytic activity under visible light irradiation.
A facile method was used to prepare uniform Au NR/TiO2 and Au/Ag NR/TiO2 core-shell composite nanoparticles. Au/Ag NR/TiO2 nanoparticles were found to display significantly enhanced visible light photo-catalytic activity compared to Au NR/TiO2 and the commercially available TiO2 nanoparticles. The enhancement mechanism was ascribed to injection of hot electrons of photo-excited Au/Ag NRs to TiO...
متن کاملSynthesis of Au(Core)/Ag(Shell) nanoparticles and their conversion to AuAg alloy nanoparticles.
Metal nanoparticles (NPs) are of great interest due to their special optical, [ 1–3 ] electronic, [ 4–8 ] and catalytic [ 9,10 ] properties. [ 11 ] Among metal NPs, Au NPs have been investigated most extensively because of their facile preparation, resistance to oxidation, and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) band that can absorb and scatter visible light. [ 3 ] Core/ shell and alloy bimetallic ...
