Synthesis and Characterization of Gold Nanoplates onto Solid Substrates by Seed-Mediated Growth Method

Abstract:

A simple technique of seed-mediated growth has successfully been performed to grow gold nanoplates onto solid substrates. The growth of gold nanoplates have been carried out attemperature of 28-30°C in the presence of a binary surfactant mixture: CTAB (cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide) and PVP (poly-vinylpyrrolidone) with their various concentrations. Characterizations of the samples have been carried out by using UV-Vis spectroscopy, XRD and FESEM.UV-Vis spectra showed that the gold particles have grown with a various geometrical forms, such as spherical and others. XRD results informed that the presence of two peaks at 2θ: 38.195^o and 44.393^o indicated the gold nanoplates, with their crystal orientation of (111) and (200). FESEM images showed the edge-length size of nanoplates was dominated in the range of 11nm to 50 nm, with various morphologies of nanoplates, such as hexagonal,truncated hexagonal, triangular, square and spherical shapes.
