Size-controlled synthesis of gold nanoparticles from bulk gold substrates by sonoelectrochemical methods
Article Abstract:
Size-controlled gold nanoparticles, ranging from 2 to 15 nm in diameter, were prepared from gold substrates in 0.1 N HCl aqueous solutions without the addition of any stabilizers by sonoelectrochemical methods. It was observed that the ratio of gold nanoparticles to gold containing nanocomplexes in solutions could be controlled by adjusting the sonoelectrochemical reduction time.

Semiconductor-metal nanocomposites. Photoinduced fusion and photocatalysis of gold-capped TiO2(TiO2/Gold)
Article Abstract:
Synthesis of metal/semiconductor nanocomposites is observed by the reduction of [AuCl(sub 4 (super -) on the surface of performed TiO2 nanoparticles. The role of the gold layer in promoting the phtocatalytic charge transfer is probed by using thiocyanate oxidation at the semiconductor interface.
