2D Assembly of Palladium Nanoparticles and AFM Characterization

Abstract:

The two-dimensional (2D) assembly of the palladium nanoparticles (Pd NPs) was studied in this work. The cubic Pd NPs were successfully synthesized and assembled on mica and silicon wafer in the dip-coating way. The morphology of the Pd NPs and the topography of the Pd NPs assembly on the substrates were characterized with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). In the process of the fabrication, the excess cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) was removed with the deposition-redispersion strategy, the UV-vis spectra and zeta-potential of the Pd NPs colloid were measured. It was found that the assembly and AFM characterization of the Pd NPs were affected negatively by the presence of excess CTAB. The hydrophilic property of the substrate is the crucial factor to control the 2D assembly of the Pd NPs. Compared with the washed silicon wafer, mica is ultra-hydrophilic and can attract more Pd NPs.
