Abstract :
Spherical silica and gold nanoparticles were attempted to be prepared by solution plasma. The silica was prepared from the following solutions by solution plasma treatment. Those are (a) tetraethoxysilane, ethanol, water and hexadecylamine (TEOS-EtOH-H2O-HDA) system and (b) tetraethoxysilane, ethanol, water, hexade-cylamine and aurochloric acid (TEOS-EtOH-H2O-HDA-HAuCl4 ) system. In the system (a), the spherical silica was produced. While, in the system (b), gold nanoparticles supported petal-shaped silica were produced. These shapes differs from the one prepared from the conventional acid and base solutions stober method.
