Article Synopsis
- This study demonstrates the creation of submicron metal nanocapsules through spontaneous emulsification of organometallic precursors, utilizing water, solvent, and metal precursor ratios to produce either stable or metastable emulsions.
- The research focused on transition metals like Au, Pd, and Pt, which formed nanoparticle shells in different morphologies depending on the emulsions used, particularly highlighting a unique Au-Pd structure within a continuous metal shell.
- The resulting water-stable, surfactant-free nanocapsules were evaluated as catalysts, showing promising activity in hydrolyzing ammonia-borane, thus paving the way for using gold colloids in hydrogen release applications.
