Chemistry!
Crystal Growth• 0-D particles• 1-D particles• 2-D films
Milling• Large size distribution• No control of shape• Impurities
Lithography

Top-Down Approaches
• Milling– Broad size distribution (tens to hundreds of
nm)– Varied shape and geometry– Impurities and defects from milling
• Lithography– Also includes bottom up method

Particle Requirements
• Uniform size
• Uniform morphology
• Uniform chemical composition and crystal structure
• Monodispersed

G = Gibbs free energyK = Boltzmann constantCo = equilibrium concentrationT = temperatureΩ = atomic volume
Two competing forces
• Surface energy• Volume energy

Nucleation and Growth Rates

Hot Injection• A way to separate nucleation and growth:
– One ionic precursor is heated to ~ 300 C– Other precursor is a room temp and injected– Rapid nucleation occurs followed by
temperature drop and growth phase

Growth of Nanoparticles

Chem. Rev., 2014, 114 (15), pp 7610–7630
Making Nanoparticles
1. Nucleation
2. Diffusion from bulk to surface
3. Adsorption to surface
4. Irreversible incorporation onto surface
Diffusion
Growth
If the slowest step is diffusion uniform particles
If the slowest step is layer by layer growth non-uniform particles
10
Favoring Diffusion-limited Growth
• Low concentrations– Large diffusion distance
• High solution viscosity
• Introduce diffusion barrier
• Change rate of chemical reactions– Reactants used – Catalysts
11
Other Strategies:• Heat up method – in situ formation of
reactive precursors
• Slow addition of precursors – for RT growth
12
0-D Nanostructures: Surface Area and Energy
Surface energy increases with surface area
• Large surface energy = instability• Driven to grow to reduce surface energy

“Capping”
Steric Stabilization
Anchored• Irreversible binding
Adsorbed• Random, weak

What is on the surface?• Current area of research:
16
Probing the surface of platinum nanoparticles with 13CO by solid-state NMR and IR spectroscopies
Nanoscale, 2014,6, 539-546
Example: Colloidal Gold• Comprehensive study on synthesis and
properties of colloidal gold published by Faraday (1857)
• Classic method– Precursor: dilute chlorauric acid (HAuCl4)
– Reducing agent: sodium citrate (NaC6H5O7)
– Reaction temperature: 100 °C– Product: stable, uniform, ~20 nm particles

Synthesis of Metallic Nanoparticles
• Reduction of metal complexes in dilute solutions
• Precursors– Elemental metals, inorganic salts, metal
complexes
• Reduction agents• Stabilizers
– PVA– Sodium polyacrylate

Other Methods• Brust Synthesis

•Reverse Micelle
Influence of “Capping”• Addition of polymer stabilizer• Used on surface to prevent agglomeration• Affects growth by limiting growth site• May interact with solute, catalyst, solvent• Can affect morphology

Growth of Pt Nanoparticles• Found that ligands can terminate growth
instead of change growth rate.
