Abstract
A short-wavelength shift in the plasmon absorption band of 3-nm gold nanoparticles at their hydrosol saturation with hydrogen has been discovered and analyzed. It has been shown that dissociative adsorption of hydrogen occurs on a gold nanoparticle followed by the transfer of hydrogen in the form of a proton to a dispersion medium, with an electron remaining on the nanoparticle; i.e., a hydrogen nanoelectrode is realized. A linear increase in the magnitude of the experimentally observed shift in the plasmon resonance band with solution pH has been qualitatively explained.
