摘要
Stable blue suspensions of 2 nm diameter iridium oxide (IrOx center dot nH(2)O) nanoparticles were obtained by hydrolyzing IrCl62- in base at 90 degrees C to produce [Ir(OH)(6)](2-) and, then treating with HNO3 at 0 degrees C. UV-visible spectra show that acid condensation of [Ir(OH)(6)](2-) results in quantitative Conversion to,stable; hand free IrOx center dot nH(2)O nanoparticles, which have an extinction coefficient of 630 +/- 50 M(-1)cm(-1) at 580 nm. In contrast, alkaline hydrolysis alone converts only 30% of the sample to IrOx center dot nH(2)O at 2 mM concentration. The acidified nanoparticles are stable for at least one month at 2 degrees C and can be used to make colloidal solutions between PH 1 and 13. At pH 7 and above, some hydrolysis to form [Ir(OH)(6)](2-) occurs. Uniform IrOx center dot nH(2)O electrode films were grown anodically from pH 1 solutions, and were found. to be highly active for water oxidation between pH 1 and 13.
