| Abstract | We have developed a novel physical approach for size-controlled synthesis of metal nanoparticles via sputtering deposition over liquid matrix. Here we report a novel water-dispersible, negatively charged fluorescent silver nanoparticles through this method with a very short anionic thiolate ligand. Our previous result showed that multiple hydrogen bonds between carboxylic groups in surface ligands resulted in a very poor dispersilibity of formed nanoparticles, however neutralized sodium 3-mercaptopropionate used in this work could overcome this limitation. We successfully obtained NIR fluorescent, water-dispersible silver nanoparticles for the first time among physical-based approach. Results presented here therefore will widen the spectrum of novel and environmental-friendly strategy for functionalized metal nanoparticles or fluorescent clusters. |
