Preparation of HgS Nanoparticles with Adjustable Dispersibility at Water/n-butyl Alcohol Interface

Abstract:

HgS nanoparticles with adjustable dispersibility have been synthesized at the water/n-butyl alcohol interface and characterized with Xray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy. Meanwhile, the dispersibility of the asprepared HgS nanoparticles in water and nbutyl alcohol were measured, respectively. The results indicate that the cubic HgS nanoparticles could be obtained; and the dispersibility of the HgS nanoparticles can be simply tuned. When Hg (CH₃COO)₂ aqueous solution and nbutyl alcohol solution of thioacetamide are used, the asprepared HgS nanoparticles can be dispersed in water to form a solutionlike suspension. In contrast, when thioacetamide aqueous solution and nbutyl alcohol solution of Hg (CH₃COO)₂ are used, the oil dispersible HgS nanoparticles are obtained. Moreover, the mechanism about the adjustable dispersibility of HgS nanoparticles is discussed.
