Preparation of nanoparticles of transition metals and their oxides using gas aggregation sources
Hanková, Adéla ; Kylián, Ondřej (advisor) ; Khalakhan, Ivan (referee)
This work focuses on the synthesis of nanoparticles of vanadium, titanium and their oxides. Magnetron-based gas aggregation source was used for nanoparticle preparation. Metallic nanoparticles of vanadium and titanium deposited on substrate were heated at atmospheric pressure which transformed them into oxides. Metallic and oxide nanopar- ticles are compared in terms of morphology, chemical composition, crystal structure and optical properties. Oxidation of vanadium nanoparticles during short heating times at the temperature of 450 řC is discussed in more detail. It was demonstrated, that ideal heating time for VO2 preparation is 60 s, the most stable vanadium oxide phase - V2O5 - is formed after longer heating. The change of electrical and optical properties with tem- perature (thermochromic behaviour) was monitored for VO2 nanoparticles. The V2O5 and TiO2 nanoparticles were tested for their photocatalytic effect and possible use as substrates for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). It was shown that TiO2 nanoparticles coated with a thin silver layer can be used as recyclable, enhancing SERS substrates. 1
