Abstract

The stable zoles of metal nanoparticles can be electrosynthesized in a reactor consisting of sacrificial anode, rotated ring cathode and layers of immiscible aqueous and organic solvents. The technique provides an instrumental approach to multiparametric control over the rates of size determining processes such as nucleation, growth, stabilization and dispersion of metal clusters. The ability to tune the particle size by variation in the residence time τR, during which metal cluster formed at a cathode in an aqueous electrolyte is allowed to adsorb amphiphile molecules of surfactant dissolved in an organic solvent is demonstrated.
