Abstract

The goal of the present work is to elucidate complex nano- and micrometer surface modification of soft materials via photochemical and kinetic control of the synthesis and deposition process of gold-nanoparticles. The key to this technology is the synthesis of gold-nanoparticles from different HAuCl4 precursor solutions with photons of a defined short wavelength emitted by Xe2* (172 nm) and XeCl* (308 nm) vacuum UV and UV-C excimer lamps. The size and plasmonic properties of the spherical nanoparticles are tailored by the application of different irradiation conditions. Additionally, with 172 nm irradiation porous nanomembranes are generated. Furthermore, the spatial and density controlled immobilization of nanoparticles on to solid supports such as paper and PES membranes is demonstrated leading to defined 2-dimensional structures in the micrometer range. The synthesis of high gold content structures on paper substrates allows for the rapid and simple generation of conductive paths in electronic circuits. The generated micro– and nanosystems are characterized by scanning electron and light microscopy, photoelectron spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering and UV/VIS spectroscopy. In order to shed light into the kinetic mechanism quantum chemical calculations are employed that help to identify preferred reaction paths of the photo-induced reduction of Au(III) to Au(0).
