Electrocatalytic hydrogen redox chemistry on gold nanoparticles

Electrocatalytic proton reduction leading to the formation of adsorbed molecular hydrogen on gold nanoparticles of 1-3 and 14-16 nm diameter stabilized by 1-mercapto-undecane-11-tetra(ethyleneglycol) has been demonstrated by cyclic voltammetry using a hanging mercury drop electrode. The nanoparticle...
