摘要
Colloidal Al-Ni nanoclusters were prepared in an aqueous polyvinyl alcohol solution containing aluminum chloride and nickel chloride as metal precursors, polyvinyl alcohol as a capping agent, isopropanol as a scavenger of hydroxyl radicals, and distilled water as a solvent. Gamma irradiations were carried out in a Co-60 gamma source chamber at doses up to 100 kGy. The nanocluster properties were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-visible spectrophotometry, and X-ray diffraction (XRD). By controlling the dose and precursor concentration, nanoclusters with different particle sizes were obtained. The average particle diameter increased with increase of precursor concentration and decreased with increase of dose. This is owing to the competition between nucleation, growth, and aggregation processes in the formation of nanoclusters during irradiation. (c) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
