Abstract
Generally, phase transfer of metal nanoparticles between aqueous phase and organic phase need two reagents at last. One is stabilizer of nanoparticles, the other is phase-transfer agent (Chem. Lett. 21 (1992) 1527; J. Colloid Interface Sci. 161 (1993) 471; J. Phys. Chem B 101 (1997) 9876; Chem. Commun. (1997) 537; Langmuir 14 (1998) 602; J. Phys. Chem B 103 (1999) 7238; Chem. Mater. 13 (2001) 4692; Langmuir 17 (2001) 733; Langmuir 16 (2000) 9775; Langmuir 18 (2002) 3364; J. Am. Chem. Soc. 123 (2001) 11148). In this paper, Ag nanoparticle prepared by tannic acid reduction of AgNO 3 in aqueous medium were transferred to chloroform solution via a remarkably simple one-step route under the effect of phase-transfer inducer dimethyldioctadecylammonium chloride (DDAC), where no special stabilizer was required. Monolayer of Ag nanoparticles is obtained on carbon film by self-assembly using chloroform organosol. The effect of the inducer DDAC concentration is checked, and it was found that 5×10 −3 mol dm −3 of DDAC was the optimum concentration for phase transfer of Ag nanoparticles. The organosol, Ag nanoparticle self-assembled monolayer and phase transfer were characterized by UV-vis spectra, TEM, ED and TF-IR.
