Dumbbell-like Bifunctional Au−Fe3O4 Nanoparticles
TLDR
The dumbbell is formed through epitaxial growth of iron oxide on the Au seeds, and the growth can be affected by the polarity of the solvent, as the use of diphenyl ether results in flower-like Au-Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles.Abstract:
Dumbbell-like Au−Fe3O4 nanoparticles are synthesized using decomposition of Fe(CO)5 on the surface of the Au nanoparticles followed by oxidation in 1-octadecene solvent. The size of the particles is tuned from 2 to 8 nm for Au and 4 nm to 20 nm for Fe3O4. The particles show the characteristic surface plasmon absorption of Au and the magnetic properties of Fe3O4 that are affected by the interactions between Au and Fe3O4. The dumbbell is formed through epitaxial growth of iron oxide on the Au seeds, and the growth can be affected by the polarity of the solvent, as the use of diphenyl ether results in flower-like Au−Fe3O4 nanoparticles.read more

Reductant-assisted synthesis, characterization and photovoltaic characteristics of ligand-protected gold nanoparticles
Naveed Shahzad,Fuyi Chen +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the PEC performance of a plasmonic sensitizer as a function of its nanoparticles size has been realized through synthesizing a series of ligandprotected Au NPs at ambient conditions using various reductants, since each reductant in coordination with the ligand forms metal ion complexes which influence the reduction potentials of metals through variation in the pH of the system, and ultimately these changes affect the reaction dynamics and tune the NP sizes and morphology.
