Zeta potential of gold nanoparticles.

Blaine Childress  Follow

Sphurti Adigal: The zeta potential measurements generally tell about the surface properties of gold particles and that can be conducted for the liquid solution containing nanoparticles as a suspension. A colloidal suspension is said to be stable if the zeta potential value attains any values except for the values between -30 mV to +30 mV (See the attached file AP023).

For gold NPs, the negative zeta potential value indicates the positively charged Au NPs. In addition, surfactant types(Anionic/cationic/nonionic) may increase or decrease the zeta potential values.

Sphurti Adigal Remember that zeta potential is a holistic property of the particle and the medium it resides in. Simply, in your case, that the value of the zeta potential at the slipping plane (where it is measured) is negative. The particles themselves could be positively charged and thus surrounded by a tightly bound negatively charged bound layer. Also, the pH could be at a point (basic/alkaline) where the surface of the particle has been modified (to negative) as well by charge neutralization.
