Abstract

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used to characterise silver nanoparticles capped with poly(ethylene) glycol (PEG) in a room-temperature ionic liquid (RTIL), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([Bmim][BF4 ]). The amounts of oxygen and silver present in nanoparticles capped with different molecular weight thiolated PEG chains were monitored, and the number of thiolated PEG chains per nanoparticle was calculated, an in situ characterisation not previously possible.
