Au Capping Agent Removal Using Plasma at Mild Temperature

  • Indra Puspitasari,
  • Emmanuel Skupien,
  • Freek Kapteijn and
  • Patricia J. Kooyman

17 November 2016

To prevent sintering, ozone treatment at mild temperature is used to remove the capping agent from supported Au nanoparticles. The Au nanoparticles are first synthesized as a colloidal solution and then supported on alumina. Fourier Transform Infra R...
