Theory

  • Surface Plasmon Resonance

○ Interaction between electrons on surface of NP with incident light ○ Causes unique light absorption profile characteristic to features such as NP material and size

  • UV-Vis spectrometer to view absorption spectrum

○ Higher concentration of dissolved NP gives greater absorption (A=ε*l*c :: Beer-Lambert Law)

Exothermic Dissolution

Exothermic Dissolution

In [MeOH + H2O] solution:

ZnS (sc) ⇌ ZnS (c) + heat

sc: supercluster (NP aggregates) c: cluster (NP)

Exothermic Dissolution

In [MeOH + H2O] solution:

ZnS (sc) ⇌ ZnS (c) + heat

sc: supercluster (NP aggregates) c: cluster (NP)

Equilibrium reaction, thus Le Chatelier’s principle tells us excess heat would favor the left-hand side
