Tin/Indium nanobundle formation from aggregation or growth of nanoparticles
Source abstract
Abstract
Shape and size controlled gram level synthesis of tin/indium (SnIn) alloy nanoparticles and nanobundles is reported. Poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) was employed as a capping agent, which could control the growth and structure of the alloy particles under varying conditions. Transmission electron microscopy showed that unique SnIn alloy nanobundles could be synthesized from the bulk materials above a certain concentration of PVP and below this concentration, discrete spherical nanoparticles of variable size were evolved. The morphology and the composition of the as-synthesized SnIn alloy nanobundles were investigated by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The possible mechanisms on the formation of these structures were discussed.
