Fabrication and Dispersion of Gold-Shell-Protected Magnetite Nanoparticles: Systematic Control Using Polyethyleneimine

Goon, Ian Y., Lai, Leo M. H., Lim, May, Munroe, Paul, Gooding, J. Justin, Amal, Rose·2009·Chemistry of Materials

Abstract

A detailed study of the aqueous synthesis of composite 50−150 nm magnetite−gold core−shell nanoparticles with the ability to engineer the coverage of gold on the magnetite particle surface is presented. This method utilizes polyethyleneimine for the dual functions of attaching 2 nm gold nanoparticle seeds onto magnetite particles as well as preventing the formation of large aggregates. Saturation of the magnetite surface with gold seeds facilitates the subsequent overlaying of gold to form magnetically responsive core−shell particles, which exhibit surface plasmon resonance. In-depth characterization and quantification of the gold-shell formation process was performed using transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, energy-dispersive spectroscopy, and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy. Dynamic light scattering studies also showed that PEI coating of synthesized particles served as an excellent barrier against aggregation. The ability of the gold shell to protect the magnetite cores was tested by subjecting the particles to a magnetite-specific dissolution procedure. Elemental analysis of dissolved species revealed that the gold coating of magnetite cores imparts remarkable resistance to iron dissolution. The ability to engineer gold coverage on particle surfaces allows for controlled biofunctionalization, whereas their resistance to dissolution ensures applicability in harsh environments.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
