  • Materials Science
  • Environmental Science

Background:

  • Nanoparticle dissolution is crucial for understanding their environmental fate and biological interactions.
  • Existing methods for studying nanoparticle dissolution can be complex and time-consuming.
  • Differentiating between various silver species in solution is essential for accurate risk assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a method for visualizing nanoparticle dissolution.
  • To differentiate between various silver-containing materials and their dissolution states.
  • To provide insights into nanoparticle dissolution kinetics and equilibria.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized inkjet printing (IJP) to deposit silver nanoparticle (AgNP) and silver nitrate (AgNO3) solutions/suspensions.
  • Employed time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) for mass spectral imaging.
  • Analyzed 2D Ag(+) chemical images and mass spectral peak ratios.

Main Results:

  • Successfully visualized nanoparticle dissolution and differentiated between citrate-capped AgNPs, UV-dissolved AgNPs, AgNO3, and AgNO3/citrate mixtures.
  • Generated 2D Ag(+) chemical images distinguishing starting materials.
  • Obtained information-rich datasets for reproducible visualization of silver constituents.

Conclusions:

  • The IJP-TOF-SIMS approach offers a rapid and reproducible method for visualizing nanoparticle dissolution.
