在PEG-丙酮溶液体系中,采用紫外光辐射还原Au(Ⅲ),Pd(Ⅱ)离子混合物和以Au晶种为核、紫外光辐射还原Pd(Ⅱ)使其沉积在Au晶种表面上这两种方法,合成了Au核@Pd壳复合纳米粒子.通过改变Au(Ⅲ)离子或Au晶种对Pd(Ⅱ)离子的摩尔比调节复合粒子的尺寸和Pd壳厚度,分别获得了直径范围为5.6~4.6nm和4.6~6.2nm的复合粒子.利用UV—Vis吸收光谱、TEM、HR—TEM和XPS等表征手段,证明了合成的纳米粒子为核-壳复合结构.研究了Au@Pd纳米粒子的直径随溶液中Au(Ⅲ)/Pd(Ⅱ)摩尔比的改变而变化的规律;对Au核向Pd壳的供电子作用以及复合粒子的光化学形成机理进行了讨论.
The combined gold and palladium bimetallic nanoparticles were received significant attention because of their special catalytic properties and Surface-enhanced Raman scatterings. In this paper, we report a new synthesis of Au @ Pd core-shell composite nanoparticles by the photochemical method. The bimetallic nanoparticles with an Au core@ Pd shell composite structure were synthesized in PEG-acetone solution by UV photochemical reduction, using both approaches of simultaneous reduction of Au (Ⅲ ) and Pd ( Ⅱ ) ions and Au seeding growth in the presence of Pd ( Ⅱ ). The bimetallic nanoparticles sizes obtained by two approaches are between 5.6-4. 6 and 4.6-6.2 nm, respectively. The sizes of composite particles and the thickness of the palladium shell can be tuned by varying molar ratio of Au (Ⅲ ) or Au (0) and Pd ( Ⅱ). Based on the characterizations by UV-Vis, XPS, TEM and HR-TEM, an Au core@ Pd shell nanostructure was confirmed and a special changing tendency of the composite particle size with a changing of Au: Pd molar ratio was found. The effect of the Pd shell gaining d-electrons from the Au core and the mechanism of forming Au core @ Pd shell nanostructure were discussed.
