Abstract
Electrical double layer (EDL) plays a crucial role in colloidal chemistry, which can be modified by changing the pH and ionic strength of a solution. Even though EDL is well-recognized, there are limited studies exploring interactions between two-dimensional (2D) and zero-dimensional nanoparticles. Herein, we demonstrate a simple pH-based approach to control the EDL of boron nitride nanosheets (BNNSs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) that plays a crucial role in their interaction, displaying a one-way gate effect. We observed that as the EDL decreases, AuNPs can come into closer interaction with BNNSs, and this also resulted in a deceleration of the aggregation process of AuNPs when functionalized with l-cysteine. This work provides a fundamental understanding of how modulation of the EDL of 2D nanomaterials can be achieved through functionalizing strategies.
期刊介绍：
Langmuir is an interdisciplinary journal publishing articles in the following subject categories:
Colloids: surfactants and self-assembly, dispersions, emulsions, foams
Interfaces: adsorption, reactions, films, forces
Biological Interfaces: biocolloids, biomolecular and biomimetic materials
Materials: nano- and mesostructured materials, polymers, gels, liquid crystals
Electrochemistry: interfacial charge transfer, charge transport, electrocatalysis, electrokinetic phenomena, bioelectrochemistry
Devices and Applications: sensors, fluidics, patterning, catalysis, photonic crystals
However, when high-impact, original work is submitted that does not fit within the above categories, decisions to accept or decline such papers will be based on one criteria: What Would Irving Do?
Langmuir ranks #2 in citations out of 136 journals in the category of Physical Chemistry with 113,157 total citations. The journal received an Impact Factor of 4.384*.
This journal is also indexed in the categories of Materials Science (ranked #1) and Multidisciplinary Chemistry (ranked #5).
