Abstract
A novel sol-gel strategy for the preparation of silica nanocomposites, containing gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), Au(I)-thiolate complexes (Au-SC12) or both disperse phases is demonstrated. The color of the species depends on the size and surrounding of the AuNPs. The nanocomposites obtained are characterized with UV/Vis reflectance spectroscopy, X-Ray diffraction, TEM / EDAX and thermal conductivity measurements. An analysis of the UV/VIS spectra, based on Mie's theory, suggests the presence of 5 - 30 nm AuNPs with different chemical surroundings. Heating of the nanocomposites at 700 °C leads to red or violet colored SiO2:AuNPs powders. The thermal conductivity of the nanocomposites is about 0.05–0.07 W/m.K, depending on sintering and chemical composition. A discussion about the microstructure of the composites is also presented.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Non-Crystalline Solids publishes review articles, research papers, and Letters to the Editor on amorphous and glassy materials, including inorganic, organic, polymeric, hybrid and metallic systems. Papers on partially glassy materials, such as glass-ceramics and glass-matrix composites, and papers involving the liquid state are also included in so far as the properties of the liquid are relevant for the formation of the solid.
In all cases the papers must demonstrate both novelty and importance to the field, by way of significant advances in understanding or application of non-crystalline solids; in the case of Letters, a compelling case must also be made for expedited handling.
