Here, the stabilization of surfactant-assisted synthesized colloidal noble metal nanoparticles (NPs, e.g., Au NPs) on solids is a promising strategy for preparing supported nanocatalysts for heterogeneous catalysis because of their uniform particle sizes, controllable shapes, and tunable compositions. However, the removal of surfactants to obtain clean surfaces for catalysis through traditional approaches (e.g., solvent extraction and thermal decomposition) can easily induce the sintering of NPs, greatly hampering their use in synthesis of novel catalysts. Herein, we demonstrate that such unwanted surfactants can be utilized to stabilize NPs on solids via a simple yet efficient thermal annealing strategy. After being annealed in N₂ flow, the surface-bound surfactants are in situ carbonized as sacrificial architectures that form a conformal coating on NPs and assist in creating an enhanced metal-support interaction between NPs and substrate, thus slowing down the Ostwald ripening process during post-oxidative calcination to remove surface covers.
