摘要
Size-dependent properties of surface-confined inorganic nanostructures are of interest for applications ranging from sensing to catalysis and energy production. Ligand-stabilized nanoparticles are attractive precursors for producing such nanostructures because the stabilizing ligands may-be used to direct assembly Of thoroughly characterized nanoparticles on the surface. Upon assembly; however, the ligands block the active surface of the nanoparticle. Methods used to remove these ligands typically result in release of nanopartides from the surface or cause undesired growth of the nanoparticle core. Here, we demonstrate that mild chemical oxidation (50 ppm of ozone in nitrogen) oxidizes the thiolate headgroups, lowering the ligand's affinity for the gold nanoparticle surface and permitting the removal of the ligands at room temperature by rinsing with water. XPS and TEM measurements, performed using a custom planar analysis platform thatpermits.detailed 'tinging and chemical analysis, provide insight into the mechanism of ligand removal and show that the particles retain their core Size and remain tethered' on the surface, core during treatment. By varying the ozone exposure time, it is possible to control the amount,of ligantl removed. Catalytic Carbon monoxide oxidation was used as a functional assay to demonstrate ligand remoVal from the gold surfacelor nanopartitles assembled on a high surface area support (fumed Silica).
