Preparation and Catalytic Performance of Surface-covered AuNPs@PNIPAM Composite Particles

doi:10.7503/cjcu20220636

Abstract

Abstract:

Gold nanoparticles（AuNPs） with high surface energy are easy to agglomerate in water， which restricts their applications. In this study， poly（N-isopropyl acrylamide）（PNIPAM） microgel and AuNPs were combined by electrostatic interaction through physical blending method inorder to cause negative citrate-stabilized AuNPs absorbed on the surface of positive PNIPAM microgels. The prepared surface-covered AuNPs@PNIPAM particles not only have excellent dispersion stability， but also exhibit a temperature-dependent colorimetric property， showing a reversible change of “red→purple→red” during the temperature change of 25 ℃→50 ℃→25 ℃. In addition， the p-nitrophenol（4-NP） reduction reaction was used as the simulated catalytic reaction to examine the catalytic performance of AuNPs@PNIPAM. The results showed that the catalytic performance of AuNPs@PNIPAM first decreased and then increased with temperature. Compared to similar materials reported in the literature， the AuNPs@PNIPAM showed both temperature-colorimetric properties and catalytic performance.

Key words: Poly（N-isopropyl acrylamide） microgel, Gold nanopartiocles, Thermo-responsive property, Catalytic performance
