Journal ArticleDOI
Fine-tuning size of gold nanoparticles by cooling during reverse micelle synthesis.
TL;DR: By lowering the reaction temperature during metal ion reduction in a reverse micelle system, gold nanoparticle size can be subtly tuned from 6.6 to 2.2 nm in diameter, enabling a wide range of products obtainable via a simple, quick, reproducible synthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deposition of Ordered Arrays of Gold and Platinum Nanoparticles with an Adjustable Particle Size and Interparticle Spacing Using Supercritical CO2
TL;DR: Gold and platinum nanoparticles were prepared using a reverse micelle technique, creating products with several particle sizes as mentioned in this paper, and stabilized metal nanoparticles can be deposited over long-range distances forming ordered arrays using supercritical carbon dioxide to remove the colloid solvent.
Journal ArticleDOI
