  • Title: Synthesis of TiO2-Au composites by titania-nanorod-assisted generation of gold nanoparticles at aqueous/nonpolar interfaces.
    Author: Cozzoli PD, Curri ML, Giannini C, Agostiano A.
    Journal: Small; 2006 Mar; 2(3):413-21. PubMed ID: 17193061.
    Abstract:
    Hydrophobically coated anatase TiO(2) nanorods can assist the reduction of AuCl(4) (-)ions at aqueous/nonpolar solvent interfaces, which results in the generation of organic-soluble Au nanoparticles with tunable size in the absence of any metal ligands and/or phase-transfer agents. The titania-nanorod-driven modulation of interfacial energy and catalysis of gold nucleation provide straightforward access to nanocomposite solutions of TiO(2)-stabilized Au nanoparticles. Among colloidal approaches, this method represents a unique tool for the surfactantless, large-scale preparation of nanostructured semiconductor-metal hybrid systems with relevant technological potential in catalysis, photocatalysis, and charge-storage processes.
