One-pot redox syntheses of heteronanostructures of Ag nanoparticles on MoO3 nanofibers

J Phys Chem B. 2006 Mar 30;110(12):5845-8. doi: 10.1021/jp060437e.

Abstract

A new one-pot redox route has been developed for simultaneous syntheses of Ag nanoparticles on MoO(3) nanofibers. Four different synthetic reactions that have been integrated into the one-pot synthesis include the oxidation of [Na(H(2)O)(2)](0.25)MoO(3) bronze, the reduction of silver ions, and the in situ simultaneous growth of the self-organized Ag nanoparticles and the MoO(3) nanofibers. This new strategy can be generally applicable to grafting various metal nanoparticles on nanofibers for new catalysis-related applications.
