Photochemical Synthesis of Pd Core @ Pt Shell Nanoparticles in Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) Solution System

Abstract:

In the sodium citrate solution systems containing double metal ions with different Pd-Pt molar ratios and single Pt (IV) ions, Pd Core @ Pt Shell nanoparticles were synthesized by the photochemical coreduction and Pd seed method, respectively. By means of characterization of TEM, the change regularity of the composite nanoparticle sizes was studied in both preparation methods. The surface chemical state of the composite nanoparticles and their structure were analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), confirming that Pd @ Pt nanoparticles formed are core-shell structure.
