Size-dependence of Fermi energy of gold nanoparticles loaded on titanium(iv) dioxide at photostationary state

TiO(2) particle-supported Au nanoparticles (NPs) with varying sizes and good contact (Au/TiO(2)) were prepared under a constant loading amount by the deposition-precipitation method. The Fermi energy of Au NPs loaded on TiO(2) at the photostationary state (E(F)') was determined in water by the...

Zusammenfassung:TiO(2) particle-supported Au nanoparticles (NPs) with varying sizes and good contact (Au/TiO(2)) were prepared under a constant loading amount by the deposition-precipitation method. The Fermi energy of Au NPs loaded on TiO(2) at the photostationary state (E(F)') was determined in water by the use of S/S(2-) having specific interaction with Au as a redox probe. The E(F)' value goes up as the mean size of Au NPs (d) increases at 3.0
