摘要
We present a novel method for shape-selective separation of nanoparticles in aqueous media utilizing an amphiphilic cationic dendrimer (C18N5) through regulation of the pH of the dispersion medium. This amphiphilic dendrimer (C18N5) bears a poly(amidoamine) dendron with four terminal amine groups and one hydrophobic long alkyl chain, and it can strongly adsorb to the surface of gold nanoparticles at low pH and promote their aggregation at high pH. During aggregation, isotropic NPs with smaller inter-particle contact area have much better solution stability than anisotropic NPs. Therefore, isotropic NPs remain stable in the supernatant, while anisotropic NPs are subject to aggregation and subsequent precipitation. As a result of this simple separation strategy, gold nanoplates with a purity level of 97% (in number density) can be rapidly and conveniently achieved. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
