Abstract: Ultra-pure monolayer-capped gold nanoparticles for chemical gas sensing devices were prepared by a novel two-step process: a physical vapour deposition technique was first employed to make dispersed ultra-pure size-controlled gold nanoparticles, and this step was followed by a coating process for functionalization of the gold nanoparticles with an organic ligand, specifically dodecanethiol. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy proved that the nano-assemblies had high purity. Chemical sensing devices based on these nano-assemblies showed Schottky-diode behaviour. We believe this is the first observation of Schottky-diodes fabricated from nanomaterials based on metallic nanoparticles. Gas sensing experiments demonstrated that these devices were suitable for detecting volatile organic compounds.
