Subject Electrochemistry of Aqueous-nanoDroplets(AnD) Investigated by stochastic Collision Events on Microelectrodes : Nernstian Reduction to Metal Nanoparticle Synthesis

Abstract Stable Aqueous-nanoDroplets (AnDs) of various sizes were synthesized in chloroform by the use of dioctyl sulfosuccinate sodium salt (AOT) as an emulsifier. Stochastic interactions of AnDs with an ultramicroelectrode (UME) was observed and statistically analyzed by the Nernstian reduction of ferricyanide inside the UME-colliding AnD. The study was further extended to the synthesis of copper nanoparticles by the AnD-UME-collision method, yielding copper particles of controlled size, monitored in-situ by electrochemistry and ex-situ by TEM.
