Area of Science:

  • Nanomaterials Science
  • Surface Chemistry
  • Materials Engineering

Background:

  • Core-shell nanoparticles offer unique properties by combining different materials.
  • Controlling nanoparticle synthesis at the gas phase is crucial for precise structural and chemical control.
  • Titanium oxide shells are of interest for catalytic and electronic applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report the gas phase synthesis and characterization of multifunctional gold@titanium oxide (Au@TiOx) core@shell nanoparticles.
  • To investigate the structural and chemical properties of the synthesized nanoparticles.
  • To confirm the insulating behavior of the titanium oxide shell.

Main Methods:

  • One-step gas phase synthesis using a multiple-ion cluster source.
  • In-flight oxidation and soft-landing of nanoparticles.
  • Characterization using X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) and other techniques.

Main Results:

  • Successfully synthesized Au@TiOx nanoparticles with 6 nm Au cores and 1 nm TiOx shells.
  • Au cores displayed icosahedral (44%) and decahedral (66%) crystalline structures.
  • The TiO2 shell (79%) was amorphous and exhibited highly electrical insulating behavior, confirmed by XPS charging effects.

Conclusions:

  • The one-step gas phase synthesis is effective for producing pure, multifunctional Au@TiOx core@shell nanoparticles.
  • The synthesized nanoparticles possess distinct core and shell properties, including crystalline gold and insulating titanium oxide.
  • The demonstrated insulating nature of the TiOx shell opens possibilities for electronic and catalytic applications.
