Abstract

This paper investigated the effects of five kinds of Au surfaces terminated with and without functional groups on the crystallization of ferric oxides/oxyhydroxides in the suspension condition. Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) were used to create hydroxyl (--OH), carboxyl (--COOH), amine (--NH2) and methyl (--CH3) functionalized surfaces, which proved to be of the same surface density. The immersion time of substrates in the Fe(OH)3 suspension was divided into two time portions. During the first period of 2 h, few ferric oxide/oxyhydroxide was deposited except that ?-Fe2O3 was detected on--NH2 surface. Crystallization for 10 h evidenced more kinds of iron compounds on the functional surfaces. Goethite and maghemite were noticed on four functional surfaces, and maghemite also grew on Au surface. Deposition of ?-Fe2O3 was found on--OH surface, while the growth of orthorhombic and hexagon FeOOH were indicated on--NH2 surface. Considering the wide existence of iron compounds in nature, our investigation is a precedent work to the study of iron biomineralization in the suspension area.
