Low Temperature Synthesis and Surface Plasmon Resonance of Colloidal Lanthanum Hexaboride (LaB6) Nanocrystals
Source abstract
Abstract
Lanthanum hexaboride (LaB 6 ) nanocrystals, with an ∼1000 nm wavelength localized surface plasmon resonance ideal for interacting with solar near-infrared radiation, have been synthesized for the first time in a relatively low temperature flask reaction using sodium borohydride as both boron source and “solvent”. Furthermore, the incorporation of isophthalic acid as a ligand allows the nanocrystals to disperse, permitting direct incorporation into polymer matrices including poly(methyl methacrylate) and polystyrene, suitable for composites and coatings.
