| Abstract: | An electroless metal plating method was used to form Pt shells on sub-micrometer-sized silica (SiO2) particles fabricated by a sol-gel method. The electroless metal plating method was comprised of three steps: (1) surface-modification of SiO2 particles with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) (SiO2/PVP) or poly-diallyldimethylammonium chloride (PDADMAC) (SiO2/PDADMAC), (2) pre-deposition of Pt nuclei or Pt fine particles on the SiO2 particles by reducing Pt ions in the presence of SiO2/PVP particles (SiO2/PVP-Pt) or SiO2/PDADMAC particles (SiO2/PDADMAC-Pt), and (3) growth of the pre-deposited Pt by immersing the SiO2/PVP-Pt or SiO2/PDADMAC-Pt particles in a Pt-plating solution. The pre-deposition of Pt nanoparticles was successfully performed for the surface-modified SiO2 particles since the surface modification possibly strengthened the affinity between the SiO2 particle surfaces and Pt ions. The Pt nanoparticles were pre-deposited more uniformly in the case of PVP because the pre-deposition took place more slowly for the PVP, which provided uniform surface-modification followed by the uniform pre-deposition of Pt nanoparticles. The formation of Pt shells was successfully performed on the SiO2/PVP-Pt particles in the electroless metal plating process because Pt nuclei were generated by the reduction of H2PtCl6 and then further deposited on the Pt particle surfaces on the SiO2/PVP-Pt particles. |
