Abstract
We describe an ambient ion-based method to create free-standing metal nanosheets, which in turn are composed of nanoparticles of the corresponding metal. These nanoparticle-nanosheets (NP-NSs) were formed by the electrospray deposition (ESD) of metal ions on a liquid-air interface leading to nanoparticles that self-organize under the influence of electrohydrodynamic flows, driven by the electric field induced by the applied potential. Such a two-dimensional organization of noble metals is similar to the assembly of molecules at liquid-air interface and has the possibility of creating a category of new materials useful for diverse applications. Enhanced catalytic activity of the formed NP-NSs for Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction was demonstrated, which was attributed to their large surface-to-volume ratios. © 2018 American Chemical Society.
