Inhibition of Cu Underpotential Deposition on Au Nanoparticles: The Role of the Citrate Capping Agent and Nanoparticle Size
Cu underpotential deposition (UPD) is compared between a Au macroelectrode and Au nanoparticles ranging between 1.8 nm and 123 nm in size in order to identify whether the capping agent or nanoparticle size affects this reaction. It was found that the surface coverage of Cu was markedly decreased in...
