In this paper, we have reinvestigated a time-tested recipe for the formation of gold nanospheres by citrate reduction of aqueous gold ions under boiling conditions (Turkevich recipe). Our principle findings are that gold nanotriangle formation is kinetically controlled and is highly favored at low temperatures. Furthermore, the presence of chloride ions from the precursor chloroaurate ions plays a major role in promoting the growth of [111] oriented triangular/truncated triangular particles. The presence of bromide and iodide ions that possess the ability to replace surface-bound chloride ions inhibits triangle formation to varying degrees.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1.338</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vaishampayan, Mukta V.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Deshmukh, Rupali G.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mulla, Imtiaz S.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Influence of Pd doping on morphology and LPG response of SnO2</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sensors and Actuators B-Chemical</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">LPG sensor</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">nanospheres</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">palladium doping</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">tin oxide</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2008</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MAY</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ELSEVIER SCIENCE SA</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PO BOX 564, 1001 LAUSANNE, SWITZERLAND</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">131</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">665-672</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;In the present study nanocrystalline pristine and Pd-doped SnO2 (Pd:SnO2) with various mol% Pd have been synthesized by a modified Pechini citrate route. Transmission electron microscopy and X-ray powder diffraction studies were used to characterize the morphology, crystallinity, and structure of the SnO2 and Pd:SnO2. The response of the pristine SnO2 and Pd:SnO2 was studied towards different reducing gases. The 1.5 mol% Pd doping showed an enhanced response of 75 and 95% towards LPG at as low as 50 and 100 degrees C, respectively, which were quite large high value as compared with pristine SnO2 (38 and 35% at 50 and 100 degrees C, respectively). Structural characterization revealed that Pd doping reduced the crystallite size of SnO2 and helps in the formation of distinct spherical nanospheres at a calcinations temperature of 500 degrees C. Thus the increase in LPG response can be correlated with the spherical morphology, a decrease in the crystallite size (11 nm) due to doping with Pd as compared with the pristine SnO2 (26 nm) and main role of Pd as a catalyst.
