Description
本発明は、基材上にナノ粒子が規則的に集積化されたナノ粒子集積体の製造方法および新規なナノ粒子集積体に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a method for producing a nanoparticle assembly in which nanoparticles are regularly integrated on a substrate, and a novel nanoparticle assembly.
ナノ粒子等の微粒子の集積化技術は、3次元的に集積することによる光学材料(フォトニック結晶)の作製、基板上へ2次元的に集積することによる基板の屈折率や反射率の制御、表面改質などに利用されている。また、異なる粒子上へ集積することによる複合粒子の作製などにも利用されている。 Nanoparticles and other fine particle integration technologies include the production of optical materials (photonic crystals) by three-dimensional integration, control of the refractive index and reflectivity of the substrate by two-dimensional integration on the substrate, It is used for surface modification. It is also used for producing composite particles by accumulating on different particles.
微粒子の集積は主に、1)移流集積法、2)キャスト法、3)静電吸着、4)沈降を利用する方法などにより行われている。 Accumulation of fine particles is mainly performed by 1) advection accumulation method, 2) casting method, 3) electrostatic adsorption, 4) method using sedimentation, or the like.
移流集積法(特許文献1等)は、粒子数濃度と基板の移動速度で粒子の配列方向を制御する方法である。この方法では2次元配列を有する単粒子膜を基板上に作製でき、連続して単粒子膜を作製するため大面積の単粒子膜を作製することが可能となる。しかし、この方法で3次元的な集積を制御するのは難しく、また平滑な基板が必要となる。 The advection accumulation method (Patent Document 1 or the like) is a method of controlling the particle arrangement direction by the particle number concentration and the moving speed of the substrate. In this method, a single particle film having a two-dimensional arrangement can be formed on a substrate, and since a single particle film is continuously formed, a large-area single particle film can be manufactured. However, it is difficult to control three-dimensional integration by this method, and a smooth substrate is required.
一方、キャスト法では、基板上にたらす溶液の量と粒子濃度を制御することで、3次元的に均一な微粒子の集積を行うことが可能であるが、緻密で均一な単粒子膜を作製することは難しい。 On the other hand, in the casting method, it is possible to accumulate fine particles that are three-dimensionally uniform by controlling the amount of the solution applied on the substrate and the particle concentration, but a dense and uniform single particle film is produced. It ’s difficult.
静電吸着による集積化は、静電引力を利用して基板上に微粒子を吸着させる方法であるが、基板と粒子のそれぞれの表面に電荷が必要であるため、基板と粒子の適用範囲に制限が生じる。 Integration by electrostatic adsorption is a method in which fine particles are adsorbed on a substrate using electrostatic attraction. However, since electric charges are required on the surfaces of the substrate and particles, the application range of the substrate and particles is limited. Occurs.
また、粒子の重力による沈降を利用する方法では、粒子が沈降する十分なサイズと質量を持っている必要がある。また、この方法は3次元の結晶作製には有効であるが、緻密な単粒子膜を作ることには不向きである。
以上のような従来における微粒子の集積化技術には、優れた利点がある一方で、電荷を有する微粒子を必要としたり、所定形状の基材を必要としたり、大面積での微粒子集積が難しいといった制限がある。そのため、多様な微粒子集積材料の設計のためには、これらの制限によらない多様な集積法が求められている。 The conventional fine particle integration techniques as described above have excellent advantages, but require fine particles having a charge, require a substrate having a predetermined shape, and are difficult to collect fine particles over a large area. There is a limit. Therefore, in order to design various fine particle accumulation materials, various accumulation methods that do not depend on these limitations are required.

Specific examples include glass having silanol groups on the surface, silicon oxide, oxide ceramics, or those obtained by surface modification with hydrogen bonding functional groups, or metal materials, ceramic materials, resin materials, etc. And the like which have been surface-modified with the above functional group.
なお、基材表面の水素結合性官能基とナノ粒子表面の水素結合性官能基と水素結合性分子の水素結合性官能基は、互いに同一でも異なっていてもよい。 The hydrogen bonding functional group on the surface of the substrate, the hydrogen bonding functional group on the surface of the nanoparticle, and the hydrogen bonding functional group of the hydrogen bonding molecule may be the same or different from each other.
非水素結合性の溶媒中における水素結合性分子の濃度は、たとえば10mol%未満、特に2mol%以下とし、室温またはその近傍の温度において基材上に分子マクロクラスターを形成する。 The concentration of hydrogen bonding molecules in the non-hydrogen bonding solvent is, for example, less than 10 mol%, particularly 2 mol% or less, and molecular macroclusters are formed on the substrate at room temperature or in the vicinity thereof.
本発明に係る方法を実行するために、より具体的には、水素結合性の分子を分散媒としたナノ粒子分散液を基材上に滴下等により付着させて、この基材を非水素結合性の溶媒中に浸漬させる。非水素結合性の溶媒中には、あらかじめ水素結合性の分子が含有されていてもよく、この非水素結合性の溶媒中にあらかじめ含有される水素結合性の分子と、ナノ粒子分散液の分散媒である水素結合性の分子とは、互いに同一種類であっても異なる種類であってもよい。 In order to carry out the method according to the present invention, more specifically, a nanoparticle dispersion using hydrogen bonding molecules as a dispersion medium is deposited on the substrate by dropping or the like, and the substrate is non-hydrogen bonded. Soak in a solvent. The non-hydrogen bonding solvent may contain hydrogen bonding molecules in advance, and the hydrogen bonding molecules previously contained in the non-hydrogen bonding solvent and dispersion of the nanoparticle dispersion liquid. The hydrogen-bonding molecules as the medium may be the same type or different types.
すると、非水素結合性の溶媒中に低濃度の水素結合性の分子を加えた溶液中では、基材表面とナノ粒子表面に水素結合性の分子が自己組織的に集合した分子マクロクラスターの吸着層が生じる。分子マクロクラスターが形成された表面間には引力が働くことがコロイドプローブ原子間力顕微鏡の測定により分かっており、この引力を利用してナノ粒子を基材上に集積する。 Then, in a solution in which a low-concentration hydrogen-bonding molecule is added to a non-hydrogen-bonding solvent, adsorption of molecular macroclusters in which hydrogen-bonding molecules are assembled in a self-organized manner on the substrate surface and nanoparticle surface A layer is produced. It is known from the measurement of a colloid probe atomic force microscope that an attractive force acts between surfaces on which molecular macroclusters are formed, and nanoparticles are accumulated on a substrate using this attractive force.
あるいは、非水素結合性の溶媒中に基材を浸漬させ、これとは別途に水素結合性の分子を分散媒としたナノ粒子分散液をこの溶媒中に投入するようにしてもよい。非水素結合性の溶媒中には、あらかじめ水素結合性の分子が含有されていてもよく、この非水素結合性の溶媒中にあらかじめ含有される水素結合性の分子と、ナノ粒子分散液の分散媒である水素結合性の分子とは、互いに同一種類であっても異なる種類であってもよい。 Alternatively, the substrate may be immersed in a non-hydrogen bonding solvent, and a nanoparticle dispersion liquid using a hydrogen bonding molecule as a dispersion medium may be separately added to this solvent. The non-hydrogen bonding solvent may contain hydrogen bonding molecules in advance, and the hydrogen bonding molecules previously contained in the non-hydrogen bonding solvent and dispersion of the nanoparticle dispersion liquid. The hydrogen-bonding molecules as the medium may be the same type or different types.
この場合においても、水素結合性の分子による吸着層間の引力によりナノ粒子が基材上に吸着し、集積体を形成する。 Even in this case, the nanoparticles are adsorbed on the base material by the attractive force between the adsorption layers due to the hydrogen bonding molecules to form an aggregate.
このようにしてナノ集積体の作製を行った後、必要に応じて、ナノ粒子が表面に集積した基材から風乾、減圧乾燥等により液分を除去する。このようにして形成されたナノ粒子集積体は、図1−A、図1−B,図3−A〜図3−CのAFM画像にも示されるように、基材上に、ナノ粒子が単層ないし数層集積され、少なくとも基材上へ直接に配置された単粒子層が、規則性をもつ構造で配置されている。 After producing the nano-aggregate as described above, the liquid component is removed from the base material on which the nanoparticles are accumulated, if necessary, by air drying, drying under reduced pressure, or the like. As shown in FIGS. 1A, 1-B, and AFM images of FIGS. 3-A to 3-C, the nanoparticle aggregate formed in this way has nanoparticles on the substrate. A single particle layer, which is a single layer or several layers, and is arranged at least directly on the substrate, is arranged in a regular structure.
ここで、「単層ないし数層」とは、典型的には、単粒子層、あるいはその上の少なくとも一部に形成された第2層を有するものである。しかし場合によっては第3層あるいは第4層を含んだものであってもよい。 Here, “single layer or several layers” typically includes a single particle layer or a second layer formed on at least a part thereof. However, depending on the case, it may include the third layer or the fourth layer.
また、「規則性をもつ構造」とは、図1のような、ナノ粒子が密である領域と疎である領域とが交互に繰り返される網目構造、図3のようなナノ粒子が緻密かつ一様に配置された膜状構造を包含するものである。 Further, the “structure with regularity” means a network structure in which the regions where the nanoparticles are dense and the regions where the nanoparticles are sparse are alternately repeated as shown in FIG. 1, or the nanoparticles as shown in FIG. Including a film-like structure arranged in the same manner.
そこで以下に実施例を示し、さらに詳しく説明する。もちろん、以下の例示によって発明が限定されることはない。 Therefore, an example will be shown below and will be described in more detail. Of course, the invention is not limited by the following examples.
<実施例1>
(エタノールマクロクラスターを利用した金ナノ粒子の集積)
非水素結合性の溶媒としてシクロヘキサン、水素結合性の分子としてエタノール、ナノ粒子として水酸基で表面修飾した金ナノ粒子を使用し、ガラス基板上に金ナノ粒子集合体を作製した。
<Example 1>
(Accumulation of gold nanoparticles using ethanol macroclusters)
A gold nanoparticle aggregate was prepared on a glass substrate using cyclohexane as a non-hydrogen bonding solvent, ethanol as a hydrogen bonding molecule, and gold nanoparticles surface-modified with a hydroxyl group as a nanoparticle.
金ナノ粒子として平均粒径7nmのものを用い、その表面をHS(CH2)10CH2OHで修飾し、エタノール中に濃度12.5mMで分散させた。 Gold nanoparticles having an average particle diameter of 7 nm were used, and the surface thereof was modified with HS (CH 2 ) 10 CH 2 OH and dispersed in ethanol at a concentration of 12.5 mM.
この金ナノ粒子/エタノール分散液をガラス基板上へ32μl滴下し、その基板を20mlのシクロヘキサン中に2時間静置することでナノ粒子集積体を作製した。 32 μl of this gold nanoparticle / ethanol dispersion was dropped onto a glass substrate, and the substrate was allowed to stand in 20 ml of cyclohexane for 2 hours to prepare a nanoparticle aggregate.
シクロヘキサン中のエタノール濃度を変えて複数種類の集積体を作製した。エタノール濃度は、あらかじめシクロヘキサンに所定量のエタノールを混合しておくことにより変化させた。エタノール濃度0.3mol%の条件と、0.5mol%の条件で作製した集積体をAFMにより観察した画像を図1−A,図1−Bに示す。 Plural kinds of aggregates were produced by changing the ethanol concentration in cyclohexane. The ethanol concentration was changed by mixing a predetermined amount of ethanol with cyclohexane in advance. FIGS. 1A and 1B show images obtained by observing an aggregate produced under conditions of ethanol concentration of 0.3 mol% and 0.5 mol% by AFM.
エタノール濃度0.3mol%の条件では、ガラス基板上にまず、非常に細かい網目構造をもつ第1層目の粒子層が形成され、その上に部分的に第2層目の粒子層が形成された(図1−A)。 Under the condition of an ethanol concentration of 0.3 mol%, a first particle layer having a very fine network structure is first formed on a glass substrate, and a second particle layer is partially formed thereon. (FIG. 1-A).
エタノール濃度0.5mol%の条件では、0.3mol%の場合よりも基板上に粗く吸着し、穴の大きい粗い単粒子層状の網目構造を形成した(図1−B)。また、この条件では第2層目の粒子層は形成されなかった。 Under the condition of an ethanol concentration of 0.5 mol%, it was more roughly adsorbed on the substrate than in the case of 0.3 mol%, and a coarse single particle layered network structure with large holes was formed (FIG. 1-B). Under this condition, the second particle layer was not formed.
作製したナノ集積体の厚みはいずれも6nmから14nm程度であり、ほぼ金ナノ粒子1〜2個分に相当する。なお、図示はしないが、エタノール濃度の上昇につれてマクロクラスターによる引力が減少し、1.0mol%の条件では網状のパターンが消失し、粒子が基板を一様に覆った上に第2層目の金ナノ粒子層がまばらに乗っている状態が観察された。 The thicknesses of the produced nano-aggregates are all about 6 nm to 14 nm, which corresponds to about 1 to 2 gold nanoparticles. Although not shown in the drawing, the attractive force due to the macroclusters decreases as the ethanol concentration increases, the net-like pattern disappears under the condition of 1.0 mol%, and the particles cover the substrate uniformly and the second layer. A state in which the gold nanoparticle layer is sparsely observed was observed.
また、このナノ集積体は金ナノ粒子/エタノール分散液の濃度変化にも対応して変化を示し、エタノール濃度0.3mol%の条件において分散液濃度を減少させたところ、網目状の構造は維持したまま、より粗く基板上についた状態となった。 This nano-aggregate also changed corresponding to the concentration change of the gold nanoparticle / ethanol dispersion, and when the concentration of the dispersion was decreased under the condition of ethanol concentration of 0.3 mol%, the network structure was maintained. As a result, it became rougher on the substrate.
このように、マクロクラスター間に作用する引力や金ナノ粒子分散液の濃度を制御することで、金ナノ粒子の2次元集積体の形状や構造を変化させることができる。集積体の考えられる生成原理を図2(a)に示す。基板上に金ナノ粒子/エタノール分散液を滴下し、この基板をシクロヘキサン中に浸漬すると、基板上には金ナノ粒子を含んだエタノールによる吸着層が形成される。表面に水素結合性の官能基をもつ金ナノ粒子はエタノールに親和性を持つため、この吸着層に吸着し取り込まれ、その他の金ナノ粒子/エタノール分散液が流れ出してしまった後も基板上に残り、集積体を形成する。
<参考例1>
エタノール濃度を3.0mol%とした以外は実施例1と同様の条件にて集積体の作製を行った。作製した集積体をAFMにより観察した画像を図1−Cに示す。
Thus, by controlling the attractive force acting between the macroclusters and the concentration of the gold nanoparticle dispersion, the shape and structure of the two-dimensional gold nanoparticle aggregate can be changed. A possible generation principle of the aggregate is shown in FIG. When a gold nanoparticle / ethanol dispersion liquid is dropped on a substrate and the substrate is immersed in cyclohexane, an adsorption layer made of ethanol containing gold nanoparticles is formed on the substrate. Since the gold nanoparticles with hydrogen-bonding functional groups on the surface have an affinity for ethanol, they are adsorbed and taken in by this adsorption layer, and other gold nanoparticles / ethanol dispersion liquid flows out on the substrate. The remainder is formed.
<Reference Example 1>
An aggregate was produced under the same conditions as in Example 1 except that the ethanol concentration was 3.0 mol%. An image obtained by observing the produced aggregate by AFM is shown in FIG.
同図に示されるように、ガラス基板上にぼやっとした集積体が観察されるだけで、規則的な構造は観察されなかった。 As shown in the figure, only a rough accumulation was observed on the glass substrate, and no regular structure was observed.
この条件での集積体の生成原理は図2(b)に示すように考えられる。エタノール濃度が高い条件では、吸着層中のエタノールがバルクと自由に交換するため基板上に安定な吸着層が形成されない。そのため、この条件では金ナノ粒子はファンデルワールス力またはチオールの水酸基による水素結合により基板上へ吸着していることとなり、ランダムに基板への吸着と脱離を行うことが可能となるため、規則的な構造を持った集積体は形成されず、粒子がかなり大きくランダムに集合した集積体となる。
<比較例1>
ガラス基板として表面を疎水処理したものを用いた以外は実施例1と同様の条件にて、エタノール濃度を0.3mol%として集積体の作製を行ったが、金ナノ粒子は基板上へまったく吸着しなかった。
The generation principle of the aggregate under these conditions is considered as shown in FIG. Under conditions where the ethanol concentration is high, ethanol in the adsorption layer is freely exchanged with the bulk, so that a stable adsorption layer is not formed on the substrate. Therefore, under these conditions, the gold nanoparticles are adsorbed on the substrate by van der Waals force or hydrogen bonding by the thiol hydroxyl group, and can be adsorbed and desorbed randomly on the substrate. An aggregate having a specific structure is not formed, and an aggregate in which particles are considerably large and randomly gathered is formed.
<Comparative Example 1>
An aggregate was prepared with an ethanol concentration of 0.3 mol% under the same conditions as in Example 1 except that a glass substrate having a hydrophobic surface was used, but the gold nanoparticles were completely adsorbed onto the substrate. I did not.
この場合では、疎水表面にはエタノール吸着層は形成されなかったものと考えられるが、このように、疎水処理したガラス基板上では金ナノ粒子が吸着せず、規則的な構造も形成されなかっことから、基板上に形成されるエタノール吸着層がナノ粒子集合体の形成に大きな役割を担っていることが理解される。
<実施例2>
(プロピオン酸マクロクラスターを利用した金ナノ粒子の集積)
非水素結合性の溶媒としてシクロヘキサン、水素結合性の分子としてプロピオン酸を使用し、実施例1と同様な方法により、金ナノ粒子をガラス基板上に集積した。
In this case, it is considered that the ethanol adsorption layer was not formed on the hydrophobic surface, but gold nanoparticles were not adsorbed on the hydrophobic treated glass substrate, and no regular structure was formed. From this, it is understood that the ethanol adsorption layer formed on the substrate plays a large role in the formation of the nanoparticle aggregate.
<Example 2>
(Integration of gold nanoparticles using propionic acid macroclusters)
By using cyclohexane as a non-hydrogen bonding solvent and propionic acid as a hydrogen bonding molecule, gold nanoparticles were accumulated on a glass substrate in the same manner as in Example 1.
表面に水酸基を修飾した金ナノ粒子はプロピオン酸に不溶であったため、基板上に金ナノ粒子/エタノール分散液を10μl滴下し、20mlのシクロヘキサン中にプロピオン酸を加えた混合溶液中にこの基板を2時間以上浸漬することで集積体を作製した。 Since the gold nanoparticles modified with hydroxyl groups on the surface were insoluble in propionic acid, 10 μl of the gold nanoparticle / ethanol dispersion was dropped onto the substrate, and this substrate was placed in a mixed solution of propionic acid in 20 ml of cyclohexane. The aggregate was produced by immersing for 2 hours or more.
プロピオン酸濃度0.1〜10.0mol%の濃度範囲で作製した集積体のAFM像を図3に示す。プロピオン酸濃度0.1molの場合では、一様に基板を覆った単粒子膜と、その上に形成した疎の部分(暗いところに対応)のある粒子層を観察した(図3−A)。 FIG. 3 shows an AFM image of the aggregate produced in the concentration range of propionic acid concentration of 0.1 to 10.0 mol%. In the case of a propionic acid concentration of 0.1 mol, a single particle film uniformly covering the substrate and a particle layer having a sparse portion (corresponding to a dark place) formed thereon were observed (FIG. 3-A).
プロピオン酸濃度を1.0mol%まで上げると、粒子層に疎の部分は見られず、一様に基板を被覆した粒子層が観察された(図3−B)。 When the propionic acid concentration was increased to 1.0 mol%, a sparse portion was not seen in the particle layer, and a particle layer uniformly covering the substrate was observed (FIG. 3-B).
さらに、プロピオン酸濃度を10.0mol%に上げると、密についていた粒子が、粗くなり数多くの穴を観察した(図3−C)。 Further, when the propionic acid concentration was increased to 10.0 mol%, the dense particles became coarse and many holes were observed (FIG. 3-C).
このように、プロピオン酸マクロクラスターを利用することにより、より密に集積した金ナノ粒子の集積体が得られた。これは、エタノールマクロクラスター間に作用する引力に比べ、プロピオン酸マクロクラスター同士に作用する相互作用のほうが強いため、プロピオン酸濃度を変えて集積化を行った際、各プロピオン酸濃度におけるプロピオン酸マクロクラスター間に作用する引力が主に、金ナノ粒子の集積体形成に影響を及ぼしたと考えられる。 As described above, by using the propionic acid macrocluster, an aggregate of gold nanoparticles more densely collected was obtained. This is because the interaction between propionic acid macroclusters is stronger than the attractive force acting between ethanol macroclusters. Therefore, when integration was carried out by changing the propionic acid concentration, the propionic acid macro at each propionic acid concentration It is considered that the attractive force acting between the clusters mainly influenced the formation of gold nanoparticle aggregates.
