Metal nanoparticles supported on a nonconductive oxide undergo pH-dependent spontaneous polarization

Abstract

Using infrared and near-ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies, we demonstrate that changing the solution pH modulates the electrochemical potential of metal nanoparticles supported on nonconductive metal oxides by over 400 mV.
