title: [UV-Vis studies on the course of reaction of Au/Ag alloy colloid with hydrogen tetrachloroaurate(III) hydrate].
abstract: Using citrate as protector, Au-Ag alloy nanoparticles with different molar ratios were prepared with hydrazine as the reducer. One plasmon band between monometallic Ag and Au was observed in their UV-Vis spectra. And the peak of alloy shifted linearly with the ratio of Au changing in the alloy. By UV-Vis spectra, the course of reaction of the alloy colloid with HAuCl4 was studied. The result shows that the UV-Vis spectra of the alloy colloid changed regularly with the adding volume of HAuCl4 increasing. And there is a linear interval in it with the change in the calculated ratio of Au. With the former studies, the course can be attributed to the dealloy of Au/Ag alloy.
