Direct Synthesis of Liquid Metal Colloids and Their Transmetalation into Noble Metal Nanoparticles

Facile mixing of a liquid metal, organic medium, and surfactant by sonication provided well-dispersed and uniformly sized gallium nanoparticles (GaNP). Furthermore, transformation to other noble metal nanoparticles having a similar size distribution was achieved via metal exchanging redox process ut...

Description
Summary:Facile mixing of a liquid metal, organic medium, and surfactant by sonication provided well-dispersed and uniformly sized gallium nanoparticles (GaNP). Furthermore, transformation to other noble metal nanoparticles having a similar size distribution was achieved via metal exchanging redox process utilizing the GaNP as the precursor.
