Description
La présente invention se rapporte à un procédé de dépôt et de fixation de nanoparticules sur un support quelconque.The present invention relates to a method for depositing and fixing nanoparticles on any support.
Il est généralement admis que le terme « nanoparticule » décrit un agrégat de petites molécules, ou un assemblage de quelques dizaines à quelques milliers d'atomes, formant une particule dont les dimensions sont de l'ordre du nanomètre, c'est-à-dire inférieures à 1000nm (1µ), de préférence inférieures à 100 nm. De par leur taille, ces particules possèdent des propriétés physiques, électriques, chimiques et magnétiques particulières et confèrent aux supports sur lesquels elles sont appliquées de nouvelles propriétés physiques, électriques, chimiques, magnétiques et mécaniques.It is generally accepted that the term "nanoparticle" describes an aggregate of small molecules, or an assembly of a few tens to a few thousand atoms, forming a particle whose dimensions are of the order of one nanometer, that is to say say less than 1000nm (1μ), preferably less than 100 nm. Because of their size, these particles possess particular physical, electrical, chemical and magnetic properties and give the supports to which they are applied new physical, electrical, chemical, magnetic and mechanical properties.
Les nanoparticules présentent un intérêt grandissant du fait de leur implication dans le développement de nombreux dispositifs utilisés dans des domaines très différents, comme par exemple la détection de composés biologiques ou chimiques, la détection de gaz ou de vapeurs chimiques, l'élaboration de piles à combustible ou de dispositifs de stockage d'hydrogène, la réalisation de nanostructures électroniques ou optiques, de nouveaux catalyseurs chimiques, de bio-senseurs, ou de revêtements dits intelligents, tels des revêtements autonettoyants ou qui possèdent une activité biologique particulière, antibactérienne par exemple.Nanoparticles are of growing interest because of their involvement in the development of many devices used in very different fields, such as the detection of biological or chemical compounds, the detection of chemical gases or vapors, the elaboration of batteries. fuel or hydrogen storage devices, the production of electronic or optical nanostructures, new chemical catalysts, biosensors, or so-called intelligent coatings, such as self-cleaning coatings or which have a particular biological activity, antibacterial for example.
Il existe de nombreuses techniques permettant le dépôt de nanoparticules de différente nature, sur divers supports. Il existe des procédés de chimie en solution comme décrits par exemple dans l'article
Il existe également des procédés d'électrochimie comme décrit par exemple dans l'article
Il peut s'agir également de techniques de dépôt sous vide faisant intervenir un plasma comme décrit en particulier dans l'article
Ces techniques présentent de nombreux inconvénients, qui peuvent être par exemple des problèmes liés à la reproductibilité du procédé utilisé, des problèmes de distribution, d'homogénéité et de régularité du dépôt de nanoparticules. Ces techniques sont également d'une mise en oeuvre complexe. Elles sont, d'une manière générale, onéreuses, du fait, entre autre, de la nécessité de générer un vide même partiel, et sont difficilement applicables à une échelle industrielle. De plus, le dépôt de nanoparticules comprend habituellement une étape d'activation du support, qui, dans les techniques décrites précédemment, requiert un traitement préalable qui est bien souvent complexe et qui peut prendre plusieurs heures, voire des jours.These techniques have many disadvantages, which can be for example problems related to the reproducibility of the process used, problems of distribution, homogeneity and regularity of the deposition of nanoparticles. These techniques are also of a complex implementation. They are, in a way generally, expensive, because, among other things, the need to generate even a partial vacuum, and are difficult to apply on an industrial scale. In addition, the deposition of nanoparticles usually comprises a step of activation of the support, which, in the techniques described above, requires a pretreatment which is often complex and may take several hours or even days.
En outre, toutes ces techniques posent des problèmes environnementaux, pour la chimie en solution ainsi que l'électrochimie, du fait notamment de l'utilisation de solvants et de réactifs chimiques polluant, et des problèmes de forte consommation d'énergie, pour ce qui concerne les techniques sous vide utilisant un plasma.In addition, all these techniques pose environmental problems for solution chemistry and electrochemistry, in particular because of the use of pollutant solvents and chemical reagents, and problems of high energy consumption, for example. relates to vacuum techniques using a plasma.

Le procédé de dépôt de nanoparticules selon l'invention fait intervenir une solution, ou suspension, colloïdale de nanoparticules qui est déposée sur un support quelconque à l'aide d'un plasma atmosphérique, ledit plasma atmosphérique pouvant être généré par tout dispositif adéquat faisant usage d'un plasma atmosphérique.The method for deposition of nanoparticles according to the invention involves a colloidal solution or suspension of nanoparticles which is deposited on any support with the aid of an atmospheric plasma, said atmospheric plasma being able to be generated by any suitable device making use of of an atmospheric plasma.
Ce procédé présente de nombreux avantages. Par exemple, il permet d'effectuer un dépôt dit «propre», c'est-à-dire sans utilisation de solvants dits «polluant». Avantageusement, le dépôt de nanoparticules selon l'invention ne fait appel qu'à une faible consommation d'énergie. De manière surprenante, le dépôt de nanoparticules est rapide car l'activation du support et la nébulisation des nanoparticules, éventuellement également le nettoyage préalable du support, sont réalisés dans le plasma atmosphérique, ou dans le flux du plasma atmosphérique, en une seule étape ou un seul processus continu.This method has many advantages. For example, it allows a so-called "clean" deposit, that is to say without the use of solvents called "pollutant". Advantageously, the deposition of nanoparticles according to the invention uses only a low energy consumption. Surprisingly, the deposition of nanoparticles is rapid because the activation of the support and the nebulization of the nanoparticles, and possibly also the prior cleaning of the support, are carried out in the atmospheric plasma, or in the flow of the atmospheric plasma, in a single step or one continuous process.
De manière surprenante, le procédé selon l'invention permet une forte adhésion des nanoparticules au support. Cette technique permet de contrôler les propriétés de l'interface et d'ajuster le dépôt des nanoparticules sur le support. De plus, ce procédé ne requiert pas d'installations onéreuses et il est facilement mis en oeuvre industriellement.Surprisingly, the process according to the invention allows a strong adhesion of the nanoparticles to the support. This technique makes it possible to control the properties of the interface and to adjust the deposition of the nanoparticles on the support. In addition, this method does not require expensive installations and is easily implemented industrially.
La solution colloïdale de nanoparticules peut être préparée par toute technique et/ou tout moyen adéquat.The colloidal solution of nanoparticles can be prepared by any technique and / or any suitable means.
Dans le procédé selon l'invention, le support, sur lequel la solution colloïdale de nanoparticules est déposée, est tout matériau adéquat pouvant être recouvert de nanoparticules, tout matériau quel que soit sa nature et/ou sa forme. De préférence, il s'agit d'un support solide, d'un gel ou d'un matériau nano-structuré.In the process according to the invention, the support on which the colloidal solution of nanoparticles is deposited is any suitable material that can be coated with nanoparticles, any material whatever its nature and / or its shape. Preferably, he it is a solid support, a gel or a nano-structured material.
Dans le procédé selon l'invention, le plasma est tout plasma atmosphérique adéquat. Il s'agit d'un plasma généré à une pression comprise entre environ 1 mbar et environ 1200 mbar, de préférence entre 800 et 1200 mbar. De préférence, il s'agit d'un plasma atmosphérique dont la température macroscopique du gaz peut varier par exemple entre la température ambiante et environ 400°C. De préférence, le plasma est généré par une torche à plasma atmosphérique.In the process according to the invention, the plasma is any suitable atmospheric plasma. It is a plasma generated at a pressure of between about 1 mbar and about 1200 mbar, preferably between 800 and 1200 mbar. Preferably, it is an atmospheric plasma whose macroscopic temperature of the gas can vary for example between room temperature and about 400 ° C. Preferably, the plasma is generated by an atmospheric plasma torch.
Un plasma atmosphérique ne fait pas appel au vide, ce qui permet d'être peu onéreux et d'un entretien facilité. Le plasma atmosphérique permet de nettoyer et d'activer la surface du support, soit en la fonctionnalisant, en créant par exemple des groupements oxygénés, azotés, soufrés, et/ou hydrogénés, soit en créant des défauts en surface, par exemple des lacunes, des marches, et/ou des piqûres. Ces groupements de surfaces peuvent par exemple comprendre des radicaux très réactifs et ayant une courte durée de vie.An atmospheric plasma does not use vacuum, which makes it inexpensive and easy to maintain. The atmospheric plasma makes it possible to clean and activate the surface of the support, either by functionalizing it, for example by creating oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and / or hydrogenated groups, or by creating surface defects, for example gaps, steps, and / or stings. These surface groups can for example comprise very reactive radicals and having a short life.
Ces groupements réactifs à la surface du substrat peuvent alors réagir avec la surface des nanoparticules, ou, avec les surfactants présents à leurs surfaces. Les nanoparticules elles même peuvent être activées par le plasma, soit directement par formation de radicaux à partir de l'eau d'hydratation, soit par réactions avec un surfactant fixé à la surface de la nanoparticule.These reactive groups on the surface of the substrate can then react with the surface of the nanoparticles, or with the surfactants present on their surfaces. The nanoparticles themselves can be activated by plasma, either directly by radical formation from the water of hydration, or by reactions with a surfactant attached to the surface of the nanoparticle.
De préférence, dans le procédé selon l'invention, l'activation du support et la nébulisation de la solution colloïdale se font de manière concomitante, à savoir dans le plasma, ou dans le flux du plasma, généré par un dispositif faisant usage d'un plasma atmosphérique. Ainsi la nébulisation de la solution colloïdale se produit en même temps, ou bien immédiatement après, l'activation du support par le plasma atmosphérique.Preferably, in the method according to the invention, the activation of the support and the nebulization of the colloidal solution are concomitant, namely in the plasma, or in the plasma flow, generated by a device making use of an atmospheric plasma. Thus the nebulization of the colloidal solution occurs at the same time, or immediately after, the activation of the support by the atmospheric plasma.
La nébulisation de la solution colloïdale peut se faire soit dans la zone décharge ou dans la zone post décharge du plasma atmosphérique. De préférence, la nébulisation de la solution colloïdale se fait dans la zone post décharge du plasma car, dans certains cas, cela peut présenter des avantages supplémentaires. Cela peut permettre de ne pas contaminer le dispositif générant le plasma. Cela peut permettre de faciliter le traitement de supports polymériques, d'éviter la dégradation du support à recouvrir, et aussi, par exemple, ne pas causer la fusion, l'oxydation, la dégradation et/ou l'agrégation des nanoparticules.The nebulization of the colloidal solution can be done either in the discharge zone or in the post-discharge zone of the atmospheric plasma. Preferably, the nebulization of the colloidal solution is in the post-discharge area of the plasma because, in some cases, this may have additional advantages. This may not contaminate the device generating the plasma. This may make it possible to facilitate the treatment of polymeric supports, to avoid the degradation of the support to be coated, and also, for example, not to cause melting, oxidation, degradation and / or aggregation of the nanoparticles.
La nébulisation de la solution colloïdale est toute nébulisation adéquate et peut se faire sous n'importe quelle direction (orientation) par rapport à la surface du support. De préférence, la nébulisation se fait dans une direction sensiblement parallèle au support, mais elle peut également se faire par exemple sous un angle d'environ 45°, ou par exemple sous un angle d'environ 75°par rapport à la surface du support à traiter.The nebulization of the colloidal solution is any nebulization adequate and can be done in any direction (orientation) relative to the surface of the support. Preferably, the nebulization is in a direction substantially parallel to the support, but it can also be done for example at an angle of about 45 °, or for example at an angle of about 75 ° relative to the surface of the support treat.

Quelques couches de surface du graphite sont préalablement détachées à l'aide de ruban adhésif, avant que l'échantillon de graphite ne soit immergé dans une solution d'éthanol pendant 5 minutes, sous ultrasonication.Highly Oriented Pyrolytic Graphite (HOPG) is commercially available (MikroMasch - Axesstech, France).

Few layers of The surface of the graphite is previously detached with adhesive tape, before the graphite sample is immersed in an ethanol solution for 5 minutes, under ultrasonication.
La suspension colloïdale est préparée par exemple selon la méthode de réduction thermique du citrate comme décrite dans l'article

dans laquelle le citrate agissant comme réducteur et comme stabilisant. Classiquement, une solution d'or est préparée en additionnant 95 mL d'une solution aqueuse à 134 mM d'acide tetrachloroaurique (HAuCl4, 3H2O, Merck) et 5 mL d'une solution aqueuse à 34 mM de citrate trisodique (C6H8O7Na3, 2H2O, Merck) avec 900 mL d'eau distillée. La solution ainsi obtenue est alors portée à ébullition pendant 15 minutes. D'une couleur jaune pâle, la solution d'or passe alors à une couleur rouge en l'espace d'une à trois minutes.The colloidal suspension is prepared for example according to the thermal reduction method of citrate as described in the article.
6 HAuCl 4 + K 3 C 6 H 5 O 7 + 5 H 2 O → 6 Au + 6 CO 2 + 21 HCl + 3 KCl
wherein the citrate acts as a reducing agent and as a stabilizer. Conventionally, a gold solution is prepared by adding 95 ml of a 134 mM aqueous solution of tetrachloroauric acid (HAuCl 4 , 3H 2 O, Merck) and 5 ml of a 34 mM aqueous solution of trisodium citrate ( C 6 H 8 O 7 Na 3 , 2H 2 O, Merck) with 900 mL of distilled water. The solution thus obtained is then boiled for 15 minutes. In a pale yellow color, the gold solution then changes to a red color in the space of one to three minutes.

Avant le dépôt des nanoparticules, le support graphite est soumis au flux de plasma de la torche à plasma, pendant par exemple environ 2 minutes, ce qui permet de nettoyer et d'activer le support. 3 à 5 ml de suspension colloïdale, est nébulisée, dans la zone post-décharge de la torche à plasma et dans une direction 6 sensiblement parallèlement à l'échantillon (
Une analyse par spectroscopie de photoélectrons X (XPS) de la surface du graphite HOPG recouvert de nanoparticules a été réalisée sur un appareil ThermoVG Microlab 350, avec une chambre analytique à une pression de 10-9 mbar et une source de rayons-X Al Kα (hγ =1486.6 eV) fonctionnant à 300 W. Les spectres ont été mesurés avec un angle d'enregistrement de 90° et ont été enregistrés avec une énergie de passage dans l'analyseur de 100 eV et une taille de faisceau de rayons-X de 2 mm x 5 mm. La détermination de l'état chimique a été faite, quant à elle, avec une énergie de passage dans l'analyseur de 20 eV. Les effets de charge sur les positions de l'énergie de liaison mesurées ont été corrigés en fixant l'énergie de liaison de l'enveloppe spectrale du carbone, C(1s), à 284,6 eV, une valeur généralement admise pour une contamination accidentelle de la surface du carbone. Les spectres du carbone, de l'oxygène et de l'or ont été déconvolués en utilisant un modèle de ligne de base de Shirley et un modèle Gaussien-Lorentzien.An X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis of the surface of nanoparticle-coated HOPG graphite was performed on a ThermoVG Microlab 350, with an analytical chamber at a pressure of 10 -9 mbar and an Al Kα X-ray source.

La morphologie de la surface du graphite HOPG recouvert de nanoparticules a été étudiée en réalisant des images de microscopie à force atomique (AFM) enregistrées à l'aide d'un appareil PicoSPM® LE avec un contrôleur Nanoscope IIIa (Digital Instruments, Veeco) fonctionnant dans les conditions du milieu ambiant. Le microscope est équipé d'un analyseur de 25 µm et fonctionne en mode contact. Le cantilever utilisé est une sonde silice basse fréquence NC-AFM Pointprobe® de Nanosensors (Wetzlar-Blankenfeld, Germany) ayant une extrémité pyramidale intégrée avec un rayon de courbure de 110 nm. La constante de ressort du cantilever se situe entre 30 et 70 N m-1 et sa mesure de fréquence de résonnance libre est de 163,1 kHz. Les images ont été enregistrées à des fréquences de balayage de 0,5 à 1 ligne par seconde.The surface morphology of HOPG graphite coated with nanoparticles was studied by performing Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) images recorded using a PicoSPM® LE instrument with a functioning Nanoscope IIIa (Digital Instruments, Veeco) controller. under ambient conditions. The microscope is equipped with a 25 μm analyzer and operates in contact mode. The cantilever used is a Nanosensors NC-AFM Pointprobe® low-frequency silica probe (Wetzlar-Blankenfeld, Germany) having an integrated pyramidal end with a radius of curvature of 110 nm. The spring constant of the cantilever is between 30 and 70 N m -1 and its free resonance frequency measurement is 163.1 kHz. The images were recorded at scan rates of 0.5 to 1 line per second.

Afin de confirmer la nature des ilots et afin d'en obtenir des images à fort grossissement, des images de microscopie électronique à balayage couplée à un spectromètre rayons-X à dispersion d'énergie (EDS) ont été réalisées grâce à un appareil JEOL JSM-7000F équipé d'un spectromètre (EDS, JED-2300F). Cet instrument, en fonctionnant à une tension d'accélération de 15kV et avec un grossissement de 80000 fois, permet non seulement d'analyser la morphologie des structures de surface, qui peuvent être ainsi observées avec un contraste optimal, mais aussi de déterminer la distribution de la taille des ilots. L'analyse par spectrométrie rayons-X à dispersion d'énergie (EDS) permet, quant à elle, d'appréhender leur composition chimique.In order to confirm the nature of the islands and to obtain high magnification images, images of Scanning electron microscopy coupled to an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS) were performed using a JEOL JSM-7000F instrument equipped with a spectrometer (EDS, JED-2300F). This instrument, operating at an acceleration voltage of 15kV and with a magnification of 80000 times, not only allows to analyze the morphology of the surface structures, which can thus be observed with an optimal contrast, but also to determine the distribution the size of the islands. Analysis by energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS) makes it possible to understand their chemical composition.
Avant leur analyse, les échantillons de graphite sont préalablement déposés sur une bande de cuivre d'un porte échantillon avant d'être introduits dans la chambre d'analyse sous une pression d'environ 10-8 mbar.Before their analysis, the graphite samples are first deposited on a copper strip of a sample holder before being introduced into the analysis chamber under a pressure of approximately 10 -8 mbar.
