X Abstract

Abstract: Keggin ion-mediated synthesis of Au core-Ag shell bimetallic nanoparticles is described. Exposure of photochemically reduced aqueous (PW12O40)3- Keggin ions to AuCl4- ions leads to the formation of stable gold nanoparticles capped by the Keggin ions. The surface-bound Keggin ions may then be activated by UV irradiation and, upon exposure to Ag+ ions, reduce the metal ions to form a silver shell around the gold core. That the capping agent not only stabilizes the metal nanoparticles but also plays the role of a switchable reducing agent is a highlight of this approach with important implications in nanomaterials synthesis and catalysis.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
