Abstract

Semiconductor/metal composite nanoparticles have been synthesized by chemically reducing HAuCl 4 on the surface of preformed TiO 2 nanoparticles. These gold-capped TiO 2 nanoparticles (particle diameter 10−40 nm) were stable in acidic (pH 2−4) aqueous solutions. At low [TiO 2 ]:[Au] ratio (<1:1), these composite nanoparticles are bigger in size (20−40 nm) and readily undergo aggregation. The TiO 2 /Au nanoparticles with TiO 2:Au ratio ≥1:10 were relatively stable to 532 nm laser irradiation. On the other hand 532 nm laser pulse excitation of aggregated nanoparticles ([TiO 2 ]:[Au] ≤ 1:1) led to morphological changes as they fused to produce large-size particles. Laser-induced melting/fusion was confirmed from the growth in the particle size as well as the disappearance of the aggregation absorption band. The process of melting and fusion occurred with an apparent rate constant of 1.25 × 10 9 s -1 . The role of the gold layer in promoting the photocatalytic charge transfer has been probed using thiocyanate oxidation at the semiconductor interface. More than 40% enhancement in the oxidation efficiency is seen with TiO 2 /Au nanoparticles capped with low concentration of the noble metal.

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.
