Introduction

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Assemblies of Gold Nanoparticles at Liquid-Liquid Interfaces

Part of the book series: Springer Theses ((Springer Theses))

  • 490 Accesses

Abstract

This Chapter contains general introduction to electrochemistry at ITIES, including interfacial structure and thermodynamics of electron and ion transfer, as well as description of the concept of the Fermi level equilibration. Next, synthetic procedures, the structure of citrate-stabilized gold nanoparticles and implementation of “free electron gas” model to describe optical properties of metal NPs are considered. The Chapter ends with an extensive review on self-assembly of nano- and microparticles at liquid-liquid interfaces, including theoretical questions and potential applications of nanoparticle interfacial films.
