A capillary micro-reaction was established for the synthesis of Au-Ag alloy nanoparticles (NPs) with a flexible and controllable composition and grain size by tuning the synthesis temperature, the residence time, or the mole ratio of Au3+:Ag+. By extending the residence time from 5 to 900 s, enhancing the temperature from 120°C to 160°C, or decreasing the mole ratio of Au3+:Ag+ from 1:1 to 1:20, the composition of samples was changed continuously from Au-rich to Ag-rich. The particles became large with the increase of the residence time; however, synthesis temperatures showed less effect on the particle size change. The particle size of the Au-Ag alloy NPs with various composition could be kept by adjusting the mole ratio of Au3+:Ag+. TEM observation displayed that the as-obtained NPs were sphere-like with the smallest average size of 4.0 nm, which is half of those obtained by the traditional flask method.
建立了一种毛细管微反应体系,通过调节合成温度、停留时间或 Au3+:Ag+的摩尔比,灵活可控地合成具有不同组成和粒径的 Au-Ag 合金纳米粒子(NPs)。通过将停留时间从 5 秒延长至 900 秒、将温度从 120°C 升高至 160°C 或降低 Au3+:Ag+的摩尔比(从 1:1 至 1:20),可以连续改变样品的组成,使其从富 Au 变为富 Ag。随着停留时间的增加,颗粒会变大;然而,合成温度对粒径变化的影响较小。通过调节 Au3+:Ag+的摩尔比,可以控制具有不同组成的 Au-Ag 合金 NPs 的粒径。TEM 观察显示,所得到的 NPs 呈球形,平均粒径最小为 4.0nm,是传统瓶方法得到的 NPs 的一半。
