Sputter deposition onto ionic liquids : Simple and clean synthesis of highly dispersed ultrafine metal nanoparticles
抄録
Sputter deposition of gold (Au) onto ionic liquids (ILs) resulted in the formation of highly dispersed Au nanoparticles without additional chemical species, such as reducing and/or stabilizing agents. The Au nanoparticles in 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate had an average diameter (dav) of 5.5 nm with a standard deviation (δ) of 0.86 nm, while sputter deposition onto N,N,N-trimethyl-N-propylammonium bis（trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide resulted in the formation of much smaller Au nanoparticles with dav of 1.9 nm and δ of 0.46 nm. Prolongation of sputtering time results in a higher concentration of Au nanoparticles in ILs, but did not cause a remarkable change in their size.
