Abstract

The formation of silver and Au@Ag core@shell nanoparticles via reduction of AgNO3 by trisodium citrate was followed using in situ X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy and time-resolved UV-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy. The XANES data were analyzed through linear combination fitting, and the reaction kinetics were found to be consistent with first-order behavior with respect to silver cations. For the Au@Ag nanoparticles, the UV-vis data of a lab-scale reaction showed a gradual shift in dominance between the gold- and silver-localized surface plasmon absorbance bands. Notably, throughout much of the reaction, distinct gold and silver contributions to the UV-vis spectra were observed; however, in the final product, the contributions were not distinct.
