Abstract
We report the design and preparation of multifunctional hybrid nanomaterials through the stabilization of gold nanoparticles with thiol-functionalised hybrid organic-inorganic polyoxometalates (POMs). The covalent attachment of the hybrid POM forms new nanocomposites that are stable at temperatures and pH values which destroy analogous electrostatically functionalised nanocomposites. Photoelectrochemical analysis revealed the unique photochemical and redox properties of these systems.
