Advances in interface and colloid science
Aqueous colloidal gold
Around 1850s, Michael Faraday discovered colloidal “ruby” gold while investigating the properties of light and matter.
Intense red colour is obtained for Au particles < 100 nm; or blue/purple for larger ones.

Nanoclusters
- Clusters can be defined as :
- Agglomerates of a few to millions of atoms or molecules.
- Can be made of one single atom (or molecule) or two or more different species.

Nanoclusters
- Clusters can be studied in:
- Gas-phase (“free-cluster”) - Supported on a substrate (such as silica, TiO2 and MgO) or in an inert
matrix. - Passivated by ligands (the cluster surface is stabilised by surfactant
molecules)

- Have different segregation mixing patterns, i.e. the chemical ordering between the two metals.
- Segregation dependance on bond strength, surface energy, overall cluster size, charge transfer, strength of binding to ligands/substrate, specific electronic effects, etc..

Nanoclusters
It is difficult to unambiguously define a cluster as being small, medium or large in size!

- Present physico-chemical properties which make them differ from bulk metals.
- Successive fragmentation of a macroscopic piece of a bulk metal will induce a transition to a microscopic insulating particle.

- Emergence of new properties e.g.: magnetic, optical / luminescence, chemical / catalytic
- Effects at the (sub)nano-scale quantum confinement large surface/volume ratio, structural changes
- Have a large number of atoms occupying surface sites, where the morphology of the cluster is essential in determining their catalytic properties, with many reactions taking place on nanoparticle surface

Nanoclusters
- For a fixed size, clusters can display:- A wide variety of structural isomers!
- They refer to different structures, having different energies, for a given size (and same chemical for bimetallic clusters).

Nanoclusters
- For a fixed size, clusters can (also) display:- The existence of homotops in bimetallic nanoalloys (e.g. Pd-Pt, Pd-
Au, Ag-Pt,Ag-Au)
- This leads to different cluster geometrical structures, compositions, structures, geometries!

Sol-Gel Method
Is a method for producing solid materials from small molecules. Typical precursors are metal alkoxides and metal chlorides.
white disk Al2O3
squared substrate SrTiO3
650 °C
plasma explosion
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sol-gel
Involves the conversion of
monomers into a colloidal solution (sol) that acts as the precursor for
an integrated network (gel)

650 °C
A solution of Ag+ or Au3+ ions is prepared separately.
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1151-2916.2000.tb01566.x/epdf
The Ag+ or Au3+ precursors are AgNO3
and HAuCl4.3H2O
A suitable ligand for the formation of metal ion complexes is introduced.

Infrared spectroscopy (IR)
Exploits the fact that molecules absorb specific frequencies that are characteristic of their structure. These absorptions are resonant frequencies
