Investigation of the size ofRu colloids by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) indicated that the average diametes could be controlled in the rangeof 1.2-1.6 nm with relative standard deviations of less than 0.33 by changing the molar ratio of PVP to Ru. The X-rayphotoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) characterization verified the formation of elemental ruthenium colloids.展开更多
