AuPd Metal Nanoparticles as Probes of Nanoscale Thermal Transport in Aqueous Solution
نویسندگان
چکیده
Waterand alcohol-soluble AuPd nanoparticles have been investigated to determine the effect of the organic stabilizing group on the thermal conductance G of the particle/fluid interface. The thermal decays of tioproninstabilized 3-5-nm diameter AuPd alloy nanoparticles, thioalkylated ethylene glycol-stabilized 3-5-nm diameter AuPd nanoparticles, and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide-stabilized 22-nm diameter Au-core/AuPd-shell nanoparticles give thermal conductances G ≈ 100-300 MW m-2 K-1 for the particle/water interfaces, approximately an order of magnitude larger than the conductance of the interfaces between alkanethiolterminated AuPd nanoparticles and toluene. The similar values of G for particles ranging in size from 3 to 24 nm with widely varying surface chemistry indicate that the thermal coupling between AuPd nanoparticles and water is strong regardless of the self-assembled stabilizing group.

Homogeneously alloyed bimetallic particles of AuPd with an average size of ca. 2 nm were successfully prepared by simultaneous sputter deposition of Au and Pd in an ionic liquid in the absence of any additional stabilizing agents. The chemical composition of the AuPd alloy was tunable depending on the area fraction of Au plates in the Au-Pd binary targets for sputtering. The particles were immo...
