Abstract

We report on the size relationship of Au and Au-Pt nanoparticles that were synthesised on silica and anatase phase titania supports. Deposition-precipitation (DP) of metal chlorides with the addition of urea and ammonium hydroxide was used to produce the nanoparticles. The relative particle size relationship of the Au and Au-Pt nano particles (NP's) was investigated, relating the Pt concentration and the support polymorph over a temperature range. It was found, with the use of in-situ variable temperature powder X-ray diffraction (VT-PXRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), that the addition of Pt to the Au system corresponded to a reduction in particle size over a broad temperature range.
