Abstract
We report the use of nano-impacts as a novel method for the study of photochemical reactions of individual nanoparticles (NPs). The conversion of gelatine stabilised silver bromide (AgBr) NPs to silver (Ag) NPs through photochemical reduction by ascorbic acid is studied mechanistically. Two mechanisms are proposed and investigated by monitoring the amount of electrochemically accessible AgBr against the time scale of conversion, measured through the use of the nano-impacts technique.
