Abstract:

Ag/TiO2 hybrid nanoparticles have been  synthesized via a remarkably simple one-pot route in water-in-oil emulsions, where the reduction of Ag+ to Ag0 in water phase and the hydrolysis of Ti(OC4H9)4 at the water/oil interface took place simultaneously. Such hybrid nanoparticles were characterized with  TEM, SPS, XPS and X-ray diffraction. The procedure led to form nanocomposites with Ag in the size range of 5-15 nm diameter enchased in amorphous TiO2 in the size range of 30-50 nm diameter in a typical synthesis. XRD results indicated that TiO2 upon thermal treatments, gets converted to crystalline oxides.  Both TiO2 and Ag/TiO2 nanoparticles prepared by our methods keep their anatase structures even above 700 ℃.Furthermore, SPS and XPS  measurements indicate that  Ag/TiO2 nanoparticles have special structure instead of the simple mixture of  Ag and TiO2 nanoparticles.  The surface-enhanced Raman scattering activity of the hybrid nanoparticles was also investigated, and the results revealed their potential application in SERS substrate materials.
