Varadarajan Published online 13 March 2007 to the authors 2007 Abstract A simple method to embed noble metal Ag Au nanoparticles in organic-inorganic nanocomposite films by single step method is described. This is accomplished by the assistance of Keggin ions present in the composite film. The photochemically reduced composite film has served both as a reducing agent and host for the metal nanoparticles in a single process. The embedded metal nanoparticles in composites film have been characterized by UV-Visible TEM EDAX XPS techniques. Particles of less than 20 nm were readily embedded using the described approach and monodisperse nanoparticles were obtained under optimized conditions. The fluorescence experiments showed that embedded Ag and Au nanoparticles are responsible for fluorescence emissions. The described method is facile and simple and provides a simple potential route to fabricate self-standing noble metal embedded composite films.
