Abstract
A highly efficient phase-transfer method was developed to prepare alkylamine-stabilized nanoparticles of several noble metals. This method involved first mixing the metal hydrosols and an ethanol solution of dodecylamine and then extracting the dodecylamine-stabilized metal nanoparticles into toluene. The efficiency of this phase-transfer method was nearly 100%. Alkylamine-stabilized Ru, Pt, and Au nanoparticles 3.45, 4.33, and 7.89 nm in diameter, respectively, could be prepared this way. The self-assembly of dodecylamine-stabilized Pt and Au particles was also detected by transmission electron microscopy (TEM).Entities:
