Site-Specific Modification of Gold Nanoparticles by Underpotential Deposition of Cadmium Atoms
Underpotential deposition (UPD) of cadmium on 15 nm gold nanoparticles stabilized by 1-mercapto-undecane-11-tetra(ethylene glycol) has been studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV). Particles are adsorbed to a hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE). It is shown that single cadmium atoms are deposited onto...
