Abstract
This paper presents the syntheses of SiO2 particles immobilized with Ag nanoparticles and their composite with Au. Ag nanoparticles are present on the surfaces of the SiO2 particles, and Ag+ ions are galvanically replaced with Au3+ ions. Finally, a method for maintaining the color durability and dispersibility of the Ag nanoparticles is demonstrated. The particles are primarily synthesized in three steps: In the first step, Sn2+ ions are adsorbed on the surfaces of the SiO2 particles; in the second step, Ag+ ions are added, which are reduced and simultaneously adsorbed on the surface while Sn2+ is oxidized to Sn4+; in the third step, Au3+ ions are reduced by galvanic replacement and deposited on the Ag surface. Extensive characterization using transmission electron microscopy, scanning transmission electron microscopy, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy reveals that the Ag–Au composite nanoparticles (17.2 ± 4.1 nm) are immobilized on the surface of the SiO2 particles (<1 µm). The morphology and coloration of the SiO2 particles with the immobilized Ag–Au composite nanoparticles remain preserved in nitric acid. This preservation is more pronounced than that observed in SiO2 particles with immobilized Ag nanoparticles. This enhanced durability can be attributed to the formation of stable bonds between Ag and Au.
