摘要
A simple approach towards the fabrication of an array of Au-titania Janus-like nanoparticles is presented. Monolayer organic-inorganic hybrid films are produced by spin coating the mixture of polystyrene-block-poly (ethylene oxide) (PS-b-PEO)/HAuCl4 solution and titania sol-gel precursor solution. HAuCl4 and titania are incorporated in the PEO domains. After removing the organic matrix by deep UV irradiation, arrays of Au-TiO2 Janus-like nanoparticles on the substrate surface are obtained. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements are employed to characterize the Janus-like nanoparticles. The photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) chosen as the test reaction to examine the photocatalytic activity of the Au-TiO2 Janus-like nanoparticles is shown to be more effective as compared to that of TiO2 nanoparticles or Au-TiO2 composite nanoparticles. The increased photocatalytic activity of Au-TiO2 Janus-like nanoparticles is attributed to the Au-TiO2 heterointerfaces. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
