摘要
An electrophoresis device was used to separate hydrophobic gold nanoparticles with particle size less than 10 nm dispersed in organic solvent. Image of transmission electron microscope (TEM) and UV-Vis spectra showed that the particles in the vicinity of cathode have a smaller mean diameter than those near the anode. This result indicates that the nanogolds in chloroform bring a positive charge in oppo-sition to what is predicted by Coehn rule, and provides an electrophrosis method for separating hydrophobic nanogold particles of different sizes.
