Summary

Aqui, apresentamos um protocolo para a in situ síntese de nanopartículas de ouro (AuNPs) dentro do espaço interlamelar de filmes de titanato de camadas sem a agregação de AuNPs. Nenhuma mudança foi observada espectral mesmo após 4 meses. O material sintetizado tem esperado aplicações em catálise, foto-catálise, e para o desenvolvimento de dispositivos plasmonic rentáveis.

Abstract

Combinations of metal oxide semiconductors and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been investigated as new types of materials. The in situ synthesis of AuNPs within the interlayer space of semiconducting layered titania nanosheet (TNS) films was investigated here. Two types of intermediate films (i.e., TNS films containing methyl viologen (TNS/MV2+) and 2-ammoniumethanethiol (TNS/2-AET+)) were prepared. The two intermediate films were soaked in an aqueous tetrachloroauric(III) acid (HAuCl4) solution, whereby considerable amounts of Au(III) species were accommodated within the interlayer spaces of the TNS films. The two types of obtained films were then soaked in an aqueous sodium tetrahydroborate (NaBH4) solution, whereupon the color of the films immediately changed from colorless to purple, suggesting the formation of AuNPs within the TNS interlayer. When only TNS/MV2+ was used as the intermediate film, the color of the film gradually changed from metallic purple to dusty purple within 30 min, suggesting that aggregation of AuNPs had occurred. In contrast, this color change was suppressed by using the TNS/2-AET+ intermediate film, and the AuNPs were stabilized for over 4 months, as evidenced by the characteristic extinction (absorption and scattering) band from the AuNPs.

Introduction

Vários nanopartículas de metais nobres (MNPS) exibem cores características ou tons devido à sua ressonância de plasma de superfície localizada propriedades (LECC); Assim, MNPs pode ser usado em várias aplicações ópticas e / ou fotoquímicos 1-4. Recentemente, combinações de fotocatalisadores semicondutores de óxido metálico (MOS), tal como óxido de titânio (TiO 2) e MNPs, foram cuidadosamente investigados como novos tipos de fotocatalisadores 5-14. No entanto, em muitos casos, existem quantidades muito pequenas de MNPs na superfície do MOS, porque a maioria das partículas têm áreas de superfície MOS relativamente baixas. Por outro lado, os semicondutores de óxido de metal em camadas (LMOSs) exibem propriedades foto catalíticas e ter uma grande área superficial, tipicamente, várias centenas de metros quadrados por unidade de g de um LMOS 15-17. Além disso, vários LMOSs têm propriedades de intercalação (por exemplo, várias espécies químicas podem ser acomodados dentro dos seus espaços intercamada expansíveis e grandes) 15-20. Assim, com uma combinação de MNPS e LMOSs, espera-se que quantidades relativamente grandes de MNPs são hibridados com os fotocatalisadores semicondutores.

Nós relatamos o primeiro na síntese in situ de nanopartículas de cobre (CuNPs) 21 dentro do espaço intercalar de OVMs (titânia nanosheet; TNS 16-30) filmes transparentes através de passos muito simples. No entanto, os detalhes dos procedimentos de síntese e a caracterização dos outros híbridos MnPs e TNS nobres ainda não foram relatados. Além disso, os CuNPs dentro das camadas TNS foram facilmente oxidados e descorou-se sob as condições ambientes 21. Como tal, nós nos concentramos em nanopartículas de ouro (AuNPs), porque AuNPs são amplamente utilizados para vários óptica, fotoquímica e aplicações catalíticas, e espera-se que eles vão ser relativamente estável contra a oxidação 3-5,7,8,10-14 , 28,31,32. Aqui, nós relatamos a síntese de AuNPs dentro do espaço intercalar da TNS e mostrar that 2-ammoniumethanethiol (2-AET +; Figura 1 inserção) funciona eficazmente como um reagente de protecção para AuNPs dentro do intercalar da TNS.

Protocol

Cuidado: Tenha cuidado ao trabalhar com produtos químicos e soluções. Siga as práticas de segurança apropriadas e usar luvas, óculos e um casaco de laboratório em todos os momentos. Esteja ciente de que os nanomateriais podem ter riscos adicionais, em comparação com o seu homólogo granel. 1.

Representative Results

Dois tipos de filmes precursoras foram utilizados neste estudo (ou seja, com e sem o reagente de protecção (2-AET +) no interior da camada intermédia de TNS). Na ausência de 2-AET +, 1,1'-dimetil-4,4'-bipiridínio dicloreto de (metilviologênio; MV 2+) foi usado como um expansor do espaço interlamelar, porque MV 2+ molecular contendo LMOSs tenham sido freqüentemente usados como intermediários na método de troca convidad…
